Our local Lymefield meat and veg was served on the BBQ as well as available in our meat packs which you can also buyonline.

The weather has glorious so the bar was in full flow all day long. Our lymefield crafted cakes and pastries were devoured by many but the star of the show was the BBQ tent with burgers, kebabs and sausages being savoured by everyone.
