Surlingham

The weeks are flying past at the moment. Wednesday has come round quickly yet again and we all know what that means… it’s Fish Van day tomorrow!

As you know, Tim will be set up outside the Farm Shop tomorrow 11th March from 10.30am until 4pm, with a selection of delicious seafood.

If you have any questions at all then please pop us an email over to lily@yarevalleyoils.co.uk or feel free to give us a ring on 01508 538206.

The Farm Shop is well stocked and there is plenty of our farm reared beef in the freezer.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

As we are giving baby steps towards a bit of normality, we are happy to say we are getting ready for next month if, and only if, everything goes to plan.

In the meantime, we are getting ready for Mothering Sunday. We will do our take away meals as always and this weekend we are doing again (due to high demand) our prawn curry. So if you fancy this, tell us as soon as possible.

Afternoon teas can also be preordered and as of from Friday we will have chocolate boxes (produced here), Hungarian biscuit boxes and mix and match cake boxes available to collection without forgetting again a range of Portuguese wine (red, rose, vinho verde and port). All to make this a very very special weekend.

See you all soon

Love

Joaquim & Ana

Further to the government announcement and the pathway for pubs we would like to confirm that it is our intention to open on April 12th for outside table service only and we really hope that the weather is going to be kind to us until we can open with some sort of normality on May 17th.

We will keep you informed of the finer service details nearer the time and update you with progress as we go along.

Looking forward to a lovely summer !!
