Information received from Janet Rogers

Hello you one and all!

It’s that time of the year that we can indulge and be mesmerised by the copper and amber shades in our lovely village… and with it, comes our special Warmers on a daily basis with our famous soups, new breakfast menus and Sunday lunches (this one being Portuguese Surf and Turf – sauted pork with clams and fries served with Mediterranean salad), grazing boards available over the weekend with no need to prebook. Each Thursday we can cook for you whatever fish you want: easy! Visit Alec in the fish van at @yarevalleyfarmshop, bring it to us and Joaquim will cook it! Alec has great discounts for you on that one.
Oh and obviously our annual Dog Photo Shoot that this year has a symbolic entry fee of £2 that goes directly in our charity box to raise funds to buy gifts to be delivered at the NNUH for Children with Cancer just before Xmas! Let’s make our beloved late Angus proud!

So lots going on this month! And much more in November!

See you all very soon!

You’ll find the food bank tucked in the left-hand corner of the car park, just behind the entrance at Surlingham Village Hall.

It’s there for anyone in our village who needs it—please help yourself to whatever will be useful.

If you’re able to donate, the council is always grateful for non-perishable items. Tinned goods, pasta, rice, and other dried foods are especially appreciated and go quickly.

Thank you for your support.
