Julie, one of our community coffee shop volunteers, tried her hand at being a PCSO.
These two lovely officers are regular visitors and always ready to lend a helping hand.

Just a reminder that our Coffee Shop is open today from 8.45 until 1200

The sun will be shining so pop in for breakfast or why not try one of our Specials including warm pancakes with vanilla ice cream or Affogato (vanilla ice cream with a shot of espresso or hot chocolate poured over).

We look forward to seeing you!

Once again we want to say ‘Thank You’ for all of your generous donations to the Foodbank. Like we have said many times before, we really could not offer our service without your support.

If you are in a position to help again this week then the items we are really short of are the following tinned items:

Carrots, Fruit, Corned Beef and Ham and also little jars of Meat Paste

We sincerely hope you all have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend in the glorious sunshine

A recipe from one of our volunteers and members. A good and healthy way to use some of this week’s items. They write:

“This is a great way to use up leftover rice and makes a cheap. very filling and very tasty high fibre and high protein meal.”

Spiced lentil rice:

Finely slice an onion and gently caramelise in a frying pan with a drizzle of honey

Add spices- dried or freshly grated garlic, cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika, cinnamon and salt

Rinse (precooked) lentils and stir into the pan

Stir in leftover rice

Add a squeeze of lemon and a big handful of chopped parsley and gently heat through
