Jac Worley has been a regular sight around the streets of the seaside resort over the past few weeks with his hot dog vendor as he enjoys his summer break from Bristol UWE where he is studying English and Film Studies.
"I realised that I needed a summer job to earn some extra money to help finance my final graduation year in university, but I didn't really want to go in for the usual part-time bar work, so I thought I would try something a bit more innovative," explained the former pupil of Tenby Infants, Junior and Greenhill Schools.
"Everything in Tenby has been kind of covered with regards to what people eat, but I thought there's nowhere to get a real proper New York style hot dog, which I know proves a very popular snack," continued Jac, who has named his business 'Top Dog' and hopes to expand further across the county.
Jac had the special cart shipped over from Miami in America and he's keen to emphasise that he uses the proper high quality Bockwurst Sausage variety. He has also completed his level 2 food safety and catering certificate and has been fully licensed and inspected by a Pembrokeshire County Council food safety officer.
Although Jac has been mostly well received in the town amongst businesses, his trading has not come without controversy, with some questioning the positioning of his vendor on the pavement outside St. Mary's Church.
In our last issue, we carried a letter from a reader questioning whether 'God and hot dogs go together'.
This sparked a response from several other readers this week, all writing in support of Jac (see Letters page 4).
"I try to keep moving throughout a day's trading, so you might see me in Tudor Square or down the harbour, but I never pitch up outside one place for a full day. Most of the businesses have been very good to me and I've even built up some regular customers in the town now who can't seem to help themselves sneak out for a snack most days," he joked.
