ALL WELCOME. Do and come and join us.

Just a quick note to say the Fish Van will be back tomorrow Thursday 1st Dec 2022 10am-2pm after a week off last week.

Also we will have our Christmas trees in from tomorrow. The official countdown has begun!…

We have also just received delivery of game, boar, venison, pork and even a special three bird game roast perfect for the big day and lots of different sausages as well as lots of chicken and we have had some more eggs delivered.

It is an ongoing thing, but our wonderful supplier is keeping us topped up as and when they can with fresh eggs so do keep an eye out.

Have a wonderful week 🙂
