So if anyone is interested we are going to put them in the cupboard which we will put out from tomorrow around 11am.

It will have a sign on the door saying Out Of Date all free.

So when you pay us by bank transfer nobody can see your details all you have is ours with the account nick name that only you will know.

Stay safe lovely people too many people out there wanting something for nothing.

Love, peace & tranquillity see you all soon.

You can still inbox us for orders. Our doors open on the 21st January 25. We have some fantastic vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, wheat free, and for you meat eaters big faves.

A new menu to order will be published soon.

Big giant hi 👋 5 to all our supporters local, away and across the pond. Love you all ❤️

Just got a call from my banks fraud prevention unit. Nice fella called Lukas. Kind enough to send me through a text under my banks umbrella text number to prove he was genuine and legitimate. Told me how my account was being fraudently used in Birmingham and confirmed the last 4 digits of my account number. Reiterated that he didn't need my full account number or pin as he was going to cancel my card, for my own safety. I'd get a new card out in 3 days. As I said, very nice, very genuine sounding and very convincing.. All he needed me to do was call out the code sent to my phone.

If I had've called out the code, which my actual bank had sent me as a warning that someone was trying to authorise a large purchase through my account, that code would have allowed him to proceed with the transaction and I would have been up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

As such, when I told him I'd ring him back, he became much more insistent, saying that he hadn't asked me for my full account number or pin and was in fact helping me.

I reiterated that I would ring him back and eventually he hung up the phone very abruptly

Checked with my bank who confirmed it was indeed a scam.

Be careful folks.

We are opening folks on the 21st January and are so excited to be catering on the 25th January for Burns Night.

If anyone wants beautiful McQueens Haggis let us know. On the other hand if you want any catering then inbox us.

We are specialising in all catering availability as in Vegan, Vegetarian and Meat,

We offer 3 station preparation to ensure each does not interact with the other.

All we do say and are fully honest about is that all our food is prepared were we store all 14 allergens.

As much as we try to ensure cross allergy does not occur this cannot be guaranteed. This is the same with a lot of major outlets.

However we do try to prep and prepare within different settings for all our items and storing and refrigerating separately as we go.

See you 🔜 ❤️

Just to let everyone know Sarah has been quite poorly Britannia Inn, Halkyn. She had got a temporary chef in while she underwent ops and treatments. However sadly for her it didn’t go to plan and she profusely apologised to customers if they didn’t receive the standard they expected.

But she’s rised above it all, her serving and bar staff have been phenomenal and she’s going to concentrate on running and managing the pub. But wait for it she’s employed a fantastic local chef, who put in all his skills via invasive training, military style yet still went into better himself.

Harry Boden, you will be phenomenal. You are a wonderful human being and know how to cook. Everyone in Halkyn is so proud of you and although some will be sampling your delights we can’t wait too.

All the best we know you will crack this and with Sarah and team in the background you will be serving the best local food around.

Well done mate and all the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please make people aware. While the time is difficult and tough loved ones or those alone, homeless etc can enjoy a hot meal in Asda for just a £1.

If you are struggling in any way we are happy as a small business who supports charities and local hubs to pay that £1 for you.

Please don’t go without. If it means you get a hot meal inside you then 100 x £1 is nothing to us to ensure you have nutrition.

Inbox us and we will happily donate that £1 to the Asda you wish to eat at.

It may not be everyone’s ideal choice but it’s a hot meal. Happy to help and Happy New year x x

People over 60 can enjoy a hot meal for just £1 in Asda Cafés throughout the Christmas holidays and the rest of winter as part of our Winter Warmers initiative.

The Winter Warmers meals – soup, a roll and unlimited tea or coffee – are available in all 205 of our Asda Cafés until the end of February all day, every day. Winter Warmers runs alongside the Kids eat for £1 offer which continues to be hugely popular, with around five million meals served since its launch in June 2022. We've served half a million Winter Warmers meals so far this winter and Ian McEvans, our Commercial Vice President Fresh and Frozen, said: "We know winter is set to be incredibly hard for thousands of pensioners as they continue to worry about how to keep themselves warm in the face of rising living costs and on a fixed income. We hope it will make a real impact across the winter months for those who need it most."

Everything was absolutely delicious. We have recommended you to friends and family as we've never ever tasted such wonderful freshly prefpared buffet food.

Thanks from all the Griffiths family until next time. Happy Neppy New Year 🥳

Ieuan Gethin thank you ever so much for your wonderful message. We are so happy that all your family got to enjoy something that being a separate meat table, a vegetarian table and a vegan table.

We are so pleased with this lovely message that it’s really made our day. However it was a lovely challenge to do a spread of everything but laid out seperately.

I hope your family had a lovely Christmas & here’s to a wonderful New Year.

Betts Butchers also known as KPS Services. I’ve bought a couple of different butchers sausages across the years when I’ve not been in a position to get the best sausages in the world. I married a Cambridgeshire man and ventured into his local butchers 36yrs ago and have since been absolutely hooked.

I can’t thank Denise & Kev enough for taking over the business from Kevs dad and at one stage closing. But due to thousands of plea’s they reopened the butchery side and wow we were so happy.

So when you buy my sausage rolls, my meat pies etc you can guarantee you have their beautiful meat sitting right inside.

People ask me over and over oh wow what beautiful sausage meat where do you get it.

Believe me I buy lots of Welsh local but this recipe has been going for over a 100 yrs and I can honestly say nothing has beaten it.

Below is what I woke up to in 2017 then they realised just how much their meat was missed so they’ve come back.

We as a small catering company are so pleased as they are wonderful.

I’d also like to thank FR Kennedys & Son from Holywell who we purchase other items from.

Plus Blacks of Flint who supply us with many items when we are under demand.

Without you all I as a small family business wouldn’t survive.

After almost 100 years, a March butcher has sold its last pound of sausages.

11/12/2024

Ysceifiog Bingo are in for a lovely treat tonight.

Home made & baked sausage rolls, pork pies, vegetarian bakes, an array of sandwiches Victoria sponge with Cegin strawberry Jam, & Victoria sponge with Cegin jam & cream.

Then we’ve got home made & baked Welsh bara brith, fruit scones with jam & fruit scones with jam & cream.

Whoever is going enjoy 😊 x x

What a fantastic afternoon at Ysgol Rhoshelyg, Berth Ddu, Rhosesmor, CH7 6PS on Friday 6th December 2024. The turn out was great. A few stalls that should of been there didn’t make it but the turn out to support the school & stalls was phenomenal.

We are hoping Sadie Gittins the main organiser of this even who actually made it happen with all her hard work gets a worthy recognition.

Santa attended and the kids loved it all coming out with a Christmas gift.

Cegin Carand loved being the hot food provider and we hope to be there next year & for years to come.

The stalls had such beautiful items on them and I think it was a really enjoyable event. The weather held off until everyone was inside. However going home was so wet loading up vehicles but what the heck it was such a high Christmas spirit. We hope Sadie made a lot for the school and it would be great once everything’s counted in that we can share with you all what was made to support Rhoshelyg School.
