Fantastic Dacres Wood

It's open between 1 pm - 4pm on t...

You can also buy chirizo, ham, olives, vinegar, paella rice, and Spanish cheeses. The owner, who I think is Polish (as you can also buy Polish pr...

Hi, Diana, the next meeting is on Tuesday March 5 at 12.15 pm in The Dolphin. At the moment, we are sticking to Tuesdays, but there's no reason why, in the future, we couldn't meet on another day.
