Home-Workers Wednesday Soup Kitchen

Village Store and Cafe

The Village Store and Café are offering villagers that work from home a ‘Home-Workers Wednesday Soup kitchen’ with soup, a roll and a free drink. This is aimed at people who normally work from home who just want to break up the day with a bit of a walk, lunch and a chat, and hopefully half an hour away from the mobile phone.  Fear not, this is certainly not designed to be a high powered business networking lunch!

The idea has been kicked off by Middleton’s Rob Cross who says that, since he started working from home, he misses the chat about meaningless stuff around the water cooler! For more information contact the village shop on 01536 770097 or Rob on 07791 911938, email rob.cross@thedairytrader.co.uk.
