Dates for this summer’s Welcome Kitchen events

At St. Andrew’s, Thorpe Langton on the last Saturday in April and May (not March) - 11am to 1pm.

2024 DOC Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Fazi Battaglia (Majestic £10.50)

Once again we are looking forward to welcoming you into the calving and lambing sheds at our annual open day, on Saturday 21 March Binleys Bridge Farm, Debdale Lane, Smeeton Westerby, LE8 0QD. Come down to the farm between 11am – 5pm to see the cows calving and sheep lambing.  We will hopefully have a few pigs for you to see too.

It comes in a variety of styles, from very dry to very sweet and at bargain prices, and yet it’s difficult to sell. It’s sherry of course. 

We had decided to go on a wine tasting trip. But after France and Italy, where to? Spain, perhaps, or Portugal? But we were bold, so Chile it was. 

Tesco Finest Cote de Gascogne Rosé 75cl (£7.50)

We did it! After being runners up last year, we received the award for 'Voluntary and Community Group of the Year' at the second annual Harborough District Council community awards, in a ceremony held at Lutterworth College on October 9^th 2025.

Wine with food or on its own? This bottle needs company.
