Hello there,

Stuart Clark from Hot Press here here. Was Googling KCRMA and came across your excellent blog – some good stuff on it. Urgently trying to contact the aforementioned Slovak food and drink emporium but can't for the life of me find a number. Could you email it to me at stuartclark@hotpress.ie if you have one?

Many thanks,

Stuart
