Awliscombe and Weston’s Community Lunch – Come and Join Us!
There’s something special about sharing a meal together – and from Tuesday 14th July, Awliscombe and Weston will have a lovely new way to do just that. We’re delighted to be launching a regular Community Lunch at Awliscombe Village Hall, offering a relaxed, friendly space for people to meet, chat and enjoy good food.
Not everyone wants to head out in the evenings, so this daytime gathering provides a warm and welcoming alternative. Arrive from 12.30 for eating at 1.00.

Behind the Scenes
We want the lunches to be welcoming, safe and enjoyable for everyone. Volunteer cooks will complete basic online food hygiene training, menus will list all ingredients clearly, and attendees will be asked to complete an allergy declaration form.
How You Can Help
A rota of volunteers will run the lunches. If you’d like to help with cooking, serving, washing up, driving people to the hall, or simply lending a hand, Liz and Sarah would love to hear from you. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring villagers together, meet new people and enjoy a hearty meal in great company. Whether you’d like to volunteer or simply come along for lunch, we’d be delighted to welcome you. Sarah Dent
