Reverend Lesley met Michelin Star chef Tom Parker this week. We are excited and looking forward to enjoying his food at The Refectory, and grateful for his kind offer to host this Christmas meal. Tom has retained his Star since 2017 and runs the White Swan in Fence. Chef Tom said, “It’s an absolute joy and pleasure to support the village, the White Swan is a big part of the village and it’s always nice to give something back certainly around Christmas time’ The White Swan is open all throughout Christmas apart from Boxing Day.

It was a lovely time of festive food, chatting together, and great fun singing ‘The 12 days of Christmas’ and ‘Rudolph’ amidst the carols! Both the ‘water to wine’ and chocolate tombola sold out in quick succession, as did the raffle. In just 2 hours we received nearly £600, welcome funds for our church! Thank you to all who made it a success.
