Pete's Pantry in Church Street has been a mainstay of Bilston town centre for over 50 years and Pete Beddow plus son Mark said they would not be deterred by last night's shocking fire, though Mark admitted they "have had better days".
They were working overnight when Mark heard an alarm going off at the Horse and Jockey pub almost opposite and when he inspected it, saw it was on fire.
It was the first of a spate of suspected arson attacks in nearby Union Street, Bell Street, Greencroft and The Crescent.
The van, used for deliveries at the back of Pete's Pantry, had its engine burnt out and a car next to it was also extensively damaged.
