The van at the Dolphin
The van was off on it’s travels again. This time just down the road to The Dolphin Inn. They are having a beer and music festival this weekend (August 24th & 25th 3pm till late). They have a large array of beers to try and some great beer glasses as well. Our Captain Mainwaring (Mick Whitman) managed a glass of ginger beer !
Jones’s Van Day Update
We have such good news – Lodge Coaches are bringing up their wonderful 1940’s coach AND 1940’s lorry to be with us on the day to help our efforts – can’t wait to see them!! Our friend `Greengrass` has been out actively recruiting some 40’s re-enactors and dancers for us and we should have a fair few authentic peeps to really put the finishing touches to the event. Shefs have come up with a fab menu: sliced honey roast ham, pork pie, cheddar cheese wedge, crusty bread, pickle, salad leaves, cherry toms, potato salad, pickled onions – all for £6.50 special diets catered for (pre-ordering on 07739404179 or 01842 819803). They will also have soft drinks, tea/coffee and their ice cream cart with them.
