EASTERN REGION ANNUAL LUNCH 1st February.

I have now received the sample menu from The Manger, as attached. If you would like to come, could you let me know menu choices by this Saturday please, as they want us to pre order. If there are any allergies or intolerances please advise. I understand that as per previous years it is pay on the day direct to the pub.
Their full address is The Street, Bradfield Combust, IP30 0LW, meeting at 12 for 12.30
In the Winter Gazette I had mentioned elevenses at Maglia Rosso, however sadly they are now permanently closed , so I intend to be at Cafe Como, Street Farm House, The Street, Brent Eleigh, CO10 9NU, between 10 and 11, weather permitting! At the moment, Cafe Como are closed for holidays throughout January, but I understand they will be open on the 1st. If not, I’ll be found in Sweetmeats, 71 Water Street, Lavenham, CO10 9RW
