Themes

For this festival try the Copper Kettle for lunch or afternoon tea with Belgian Chocolate Gateaux.  Take your coffee at the church and savour on a Belgium chocolate or have a Pilgrim's lunch with us. Try a thirst quenching home-made ice cream with a ‘medieval’' theme to be found in the middle of the Tudor square.  If that is not enough take some exercise along the pilgrims way and quench your thirst with a cider as you pass Badgers Hill Farm.
