The event took place on Dec 07 and included music from a children’s choir, and a visit from Santa.
Janette Marsh, manager of the restaurant on South Promenade, said: “With the bills this year, it's not possible to go out and buy a proper cooked roast for one person to cook at home. We enjoy doing nice things for people in the community and especially with the current climate. We [wanted] them to make friends and know we are here if they need to come and have a chat.”
Here’s some photos taken at the event.
