Community Kitchen with two back-to-back festive dinners

On March 17, dinner guests were treated to a St Patrick’s Day Supper complete with Irish Dancing and Guinness Beef Stew and Cabbage.

With St Peter’s Parish Hall adorned in green decorations, everyone enjoyed an Emerald Fizz spritzer and an assortment of puddings including Pot of Gold pavlova,

End of the Rainbow cupcakes, Guinness chocolate cake and Irish apple tart with custard.

Guests were also given a traditional Irish Blessing card to take away.

Then on Easter Monday, the Stars and Stripes hung throughout St Peter’s Hall as dinner guests enjoyed an authentic American BBQ.

The menu featured all the staples such as devilled eggs, barbeque ribs, cornbread, pasta salad, brownies and cherry cream cheese pie.

Guests were able to wash down their meal with a Sprite and grenadine mixture known as a Shirley Temple.

In addition to great food, songs from Lesley Gore, the Four Tops, Diana Ross and other American classics filled the hall.

The next dinner will be a fancy French Cuisine on Sunday, 28th April from 4:30 to 6:30pm at St Peter’s Parish Hall in Cirencester. Meliny Tim of The Kitchen Club will be making Coq-au-vin, a classic French dish.

The Community Kitchen offers festive dinners for anyone in need of a lovely meal or fellowship.

The dinners are served by parishioners from St Peter’s in Cirencester, St Mary’s in Cricklade and St Thomas’s in Fairford.

The dinners are free to attend, no booking required.
