We have been here for 2 months now and all is going well. This Saturday we are hosting the village fete, which we are hoping will be a great day. Fingers crossed the weather holds out!! There will be loads of traditional stalls such as Face Painting, Coconut Shy, Aunt Sally, Tombola, Cakes, Bric-a-brac, Books, Toys, a Tea tent, and the famous Worminghall Egg Throwing competition. There is also clay shooting in the back field with a pump action shot gun (oh yeah!!! says Matt). Also a raffle with some great prizes (including a meal for 2 here at the pub).
We are then holding a Beer & Wine Festival in the Evening, with Hog roast (and vegetarian option), with Mike Patto and friends playing some Jazz. We have found some local and unusual beers, and a selection of “undiscovered wines of the world”. Beers from Hook Norton Brewery, Hopping Mad Brewery, Loddon Brewery, Loose Cannon Brewery, Oxfordshire Brewery, Sherfield Village Brewery and Vale Brewery (Brill). Wines from Portugal, France, New Zealand, Spain, California & Sicily.
Why not come and join us if you can. The Fete kicks off at 2pm, with the Beer and Wine festival from 6pm (this Saturday, 10th September).
