If a family would like to go, then please contact chapel house and we can offer you subsidy. There is a good selection on the food menu which also includes freshly baked scones & a selection of homemade cakes. If you would like to go then simply add your name to the list at the back of the church, select your choice of food and hand payment in to the sacristy or the chapel house.
