Farmers Market Thursday October 5th

This month’s North Cotswold Farmers Market will be held on Thursday October 5th from 6 – 8pm at The Hall, Pinfold Lane, Stourton.

There will be an opportunity to try some different fare – Smörgås Tårta will be offering their new nourishing vegan Autumn yellow pea soup, artspoppa, along with their usual tasty Swedish cuisine and the Little Rollright Farm will be there with their delicious apple juice made with apples from their own orchards and charcoal from their ash trees.

Fish and Chips is on the menu again as the very popular The Catchy Fish will be providing supper. Eat in or take away.

It will also be another good opportunity to catch up with friends and neighbours at the bar while our pub is closed.

To find out more about this month’s stall holders keep an eye on the North Cotswolds Farmers Market FB page.

Krocs at The Hop!

Well the Harvard Krocadilloes did not disappoint!
