Trevor Milton has been working hard since January to satisfy the Lower Similkameen’s appetite for pizza.
The new manager of Me and Bok Boks Pizza (currently under lease by Ravneet Dhaliwal) on Seventh Avenue in Keremeos began his career as a prep cook, eventually becoming cook for the former Crow Bar and Grill establishment in Keremeos. The opportunity to run Bok Bok’s came up in January, and Milton has been working hard since then to re-establish the restaurant’s business after several months of eratic operating hours.
“I’m trying to be consistent with my hours,” Milton admits, noting that the food service business in Keremeos has had some high and low points through the last three months.
“I’m open from 11:30 a.m. until 8 p.m Monday through Friday, Saturday 11:30 a.m. until 9 p.m., and Sunday from 2 a.m. until 7 p.m.,” Milton said.
Milton specializes in pizza, but also has lasagna and butter chicken on the menu, with hopes to expand both the restaurant and the menu sometime in the future. He uses fresh local produce when available, and makes the dough and sauce in-house. Even the cheese is hand grated in the shop.
“There is a big demand for delivery service,” Milton said, “I’m looking for someone to help me out with that.”
Me and Bok Boks also provides free internet to customers, something tourists in the village will appreciate.
