Last Pop Up Pub This Friday

Last Pop Up Pub Before the The Cherington Opens is on Friday April 26th at The Hall

The next, and last, Pop Up Pub before our village pub, The Cherington, opens its doors in May, will be at The Hall on Friday April 26th from 18.00.

Everyone welcome.

Safari Supper Saturday 1st June

Time to Book up for the Cherington and Stourton Safari Supper!

The village Safari Supper is a great way to meet new neighbours or catch up with those you already know.

We are now looking for volunteers to host either a starter or main course for between 4 to 6 guests, and for people to donate a pudding. It’s about the people not the cooking – a simple meal is all that’s required. (Main course hosts get one free ticket.)

The evening will kick off at 7pm (by kind permission of Eric and Sally Clubley), at Jacques with an aperitif to get you in the mood! You will then be told where you are going for your starter.

Starter hosts are given the list of where their guests are going for their main course. You will be with entirely different people.

And finally we all meet up again for pudding and more chat.

Guests are requested to bring their own wine.

It’s excellent value at £20 per head and the money we raise helps to fund our our fabulous Hall and Playing Field.

Please contact Sally sallyclubley@gmail.com or Sue sueeileenmaaz@gmail.com by May 18th to register your interest, stating whether you are offering to host a starter or main course, supplying a pudding or just participating, and any dietary requirements.
