Hello everyone,

Just a quick reminder if you are looking to lunch at the club on Sunday for Mothers Day, to book a table fast as we have a lot of bookings already but we wouldn’t like any of our mummies missing out on our yummy Carvery on their special day.

Please ring me ‘Lisa’ on my new work number 07851759265 and I’ll reserve your table for you.

There are 3 meats on the Carvery this Sunday which are: honey roasted gammon, roast chicken and stuffed pork belly with all our usual trimmings from 12:30 until 2:30. Also as a wee treat for our special mums the chefs at Fuud ltd have made special homemade choc’s which I’m sure I will have to taste test!

The prices are as follows: 1 course £8.00, 2 courses £10.00 or 3 courses for £12.50.

Hope to see you all Sunday.

Kind regards Lisa @fuud ltd.

Hi everyone,

Just to let you all know that Sunday Carvery will be on again this weekend, following its growing success over the the last 3 weeks!

I would also like to say “Thank you so much to everyone for your support over the past few months”

In the next few weeks we will be looking into tweaking the menu to cater everyone’s needs and also we now have a new contact number for your enquires and booking’s: The new number is 07851759265. We will be putting a booking system in place for Sunday Carvery due to how busy we are getting, we wouldn’t want anyone to miss out, also if you can remember to book your lunchtime tables throughout the week too, if its more than 4 people per booking and this will help us staff and prepare for the day.

Last but not least, we are filling up very quickly for Mother’s Day, so please book your tables to avoid disappointment. It will be a Carvery on that Sunday 10th March and there will be a choice of 3 meats on this day with a special 3 course meal deal for Mum’s to be confirmed.

Kind regards Lisa @fuudltd.
