Progressive Dinner, Saturday 3rd June 2017

The event becomes more popular every  year, therefore, early booking is recommend .

How it works!

Each guest pays £17.50 per head and couples take with them a bottle of wine to their first host. This is a  fantastic way of catching up with old friends and the opportunity of making new ones.   Feedback has always been positive and a thoroughly enjoyable evening  with good food, good company and raising some much-needed funds for the church restoration in the process

The evening begins with a  drink in the Village Hall,  where everyone can mingle and then each guest is  provided with the address of their first host, at the end of each course, the host will read out where their guests will progress for their next course. At the end of the three courses, all guests return to the hall with their hosts for coffee and mints to once again meet faces that you see regularly but never get the chance to speak to.

Book early to avoid disappointment. Contact Pauline on 01295 730687
