Kim Clancey will be rustling up another culinary delight for us all but this time it will be on a Saturday evening. The first one will be on the 19th July starting at 6pm, come along and enjoy some good home cooking - and maybe a drink or two at the bar. There will be a small charge of £3 per head for the food and it would be much appreciated if you could email Kim by clicking here to confirm numbers.
