Ma Weston, real name Violet Susannah Weston, has for seventy years kept Pembroke's climbers topped up with cream teas and brews and is in this way responsible for some of the hardest routes in Range East.

Mrs Weston is now 87 years old and has been serving tea since she was 17.

"Every climber who has been to Pembroke is certain to have stopped at Mrs Weston's cafe and enjoyed her hospitality and tea cakes. She is as much a part of Pembroke for climbers as Huntsman's Leap!"

Commented Alan James, co-author of the forthcoming Rockfax guide to Pembroke.
