Tonight, I had the absolute pleasure to be invited to meet up with the WI craft group, who for the last year have worked extremely hard to produce a community banner, commissioned by the Parish Council
The banner was presented to myself as Chair of FMPC and will take pride of place hanging in our Pavilion building
I am so proud to receive the banner and wish to place on record my absolute gratitude for all the hard work and time gifted freely, from all those members of the WI involved in this project

Important Notice:

As some of you may be aware we had a food rating hygiene cerificate published.

The day of the inspection, sadly the owners and 2 senior managers were not at the business and were away out of the country dealing with a family emergency.

The inspection rating was poor due to a lack of understanding of the staff present on the day of what information the inspector required.

Since then we have had a subsequent visit from the inspectors - please see attached report.

Everything is now in place and the inspectors are very happy with what they see and the processes we follow.

Be rest assured that we always aim to achieve the highest standards when running our restaurant - our customers come first.

We thank you for your time to read this.

Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year!

All The Very Best From All Of Us At

La Spada.

Christmas Tree Lights Switch On - Sunday 30th November

🎅✨ A Message from Santa! ✨🎅

"Ho ho ho, hello everyone! It’s me, Santa Claus! 🎁

I’ve just popped down from the North Pole to remind you that tomorrow (Sunday 30th November at 6pm) I’ll be in the Memorial Garden to switch on the Christmas tree lights! We’ll count down together, light up the tree, and fill the evening with festive magic.

Afterwards, there’ll be non-alcoholic mulled wine and mince pies for everyone to enjoy, the perfect way to warm up and share a little Christmas cheer.

So wrap up cosy, bring your smiles (and maybe your favourite Christmas jumper!), and join me for a magical evening of light, laughter, and community spirit. ❤️

Can’t wait to see you all. Lights on, hearts full, and Christmas joy all around!"

✨EVENT DATE, TIME & LOCATION : SUNDAY 30th NOVEMBER at 6:00pm - MEMORIAL GARDEN ✨

Thank you once again for the generous free donation of our parish Christmas tree, to Mark and staff at Pity Me Garden Centre.

Your Parish councillors have worked hard today, to erect and dress the tree for a switch on of lights this forthcoming Sunday.

Please take this opportunity to hang a bauble, in memory of a loved one, on the tree at this Christmas time.

Thank you all concerned
