This year’s Harvest Supper is on Saturday Sept 24th.

We’re laying on a Ploughman’s supper with all the usual fare along with some hot pasties and a glass of Robin’s cider to help wash it down.

To accompany the Ploughman’s, we’re asking for contributions to a ‘Community Cheeseboard’. If you’d like to take part, please bring along a small wedge of your favourite cheese and hopefully that will result in a delicious selection for the whole group.

If you have any other home produce you’d like to contribute – eg tomatoes, homemade chutneys, blackberry and apple crumbles – that would be most welcome, please do get in touch.

Suggested donation £8 per person.

Really hope you can all make it – please RSVP via email to events@coombekeynes.com.
