OPEN TABLE LUNCH CLUB

For those who don't know about Open Table, church volunteers offer a 2 course meal with tea and coffee, starting at 1 pm in the church hall (bottom of the hill next to the British Legion).  It is normally on the second Saturday of the month. This is open to anyone to meet and have a chat over lunch for an hour or so. We accept a monetary donation for the meal and dessert afterwards to pay for the food supplied and the cooking involved. It’s a way of making friends, or chatting to current friends, and we welcome those who wish to attend (but please book your place if you haven't already done so).
The next lunch will be on Saturday 11th June. To confirm your place, please contact Joyce Turner. If you are unable to contact her, please use the Message service on our Facebook page and I will let her know.  You can use the following link: www.facebook.com/StBartsWednesbury.​
14th MAY 2022​:
Alison and Linda served up another delicious lunch on Saturday 14th May. The menu was gammon, french beans and lightly toasted boiled potatoes served with a choice of parsley or cheese sauce. The vegetarian option was Linda McCartney chicken style roast. Desserts were home-made rhubarb crumble with cream or custard or raspberry swirl cheesecake with optional cream. Soft drinks were available with the meal and tea or coffee was served after.  Sounds delicious!  Thank you to the volunteers who helped serve, wash up and clear away. 
​9th APRIL 2022: ​
​The menu for the lunch on Saturday 9th April had an Easter theme of turkey with stuffing, roast potatoes and carrots. Dessert was a choice of chocolate sponge cake topped with chocolate ganache (home-made) and cream, or hot cross buns. Well done to everyone for their part in making the lunch such a success (from preparing, cooking and serving the meal as well as clearing up afterwards). Thank you to Mario for the entertainment too. A big thank you to Lynn Castillo for making the beautiful table decorations.
​12th FEBRUARY 2022:

The Valentine's theme lunch on Saturday 12th February was successful. Thank you to the Linda R and Alison who worked hard to prepare and cook the lunch. Alison provided balloons and Mario was in charge of making the room look lovely.  His fabulous folded napkin table decorations (with chocolates) completed the look and he showed a DofE participant and Linda S how to do this so they could make some. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped prepare the room, serve and clear up. A great team effort.  Photos below.

​The lunch on Saturday 6th November was a Guy Fawkes night theme serving jacket potatoes with a variety of fillings, followed by apple crumble or bread pudding and custard was available for those who wished to have it.

Our first Open Table meal for almost 2 years was on 9th October 2021. It was wonderful to see so many of our former diners again. We used our new refurbished kitchen and everyone liked the newly decorated and carpeted café area. All went well and Linda and Alison would like to thank all of the helpers they had on the day. (You can see a few photos from that day below.)
