News from the British Queen

www.thebritishqueen.com

Hello again from the British Queen. So much has happened in the last month … where should we begin? We’ll start with some sad news: poor Donald Duck is no more. Unfortunately, we suspect that he picked a fight with the wrong dog and did not win the encounter. However, Pancake and Charlie are still living their best life on the River Mel and have now made friends with two wild ducks who come and join them each morning and evening. With the above in mind, we would like to request that dogs are kept on leads on the river walk, and through the pub grounds. There was an incident between a dog and one of our chickens, which is now suffering from a damaged wing. We love and enjoy the wildlife and would very much like to keep it alive. The British Queen darts team have again started playing in the league. Anyone interested should pop into the pub on a Tuesday evening and have a chat with the players. Our chefs have been hard at work putting together a new summer lunch and dinner menu; please come and try some of the new dishes and let us know what you think. Everyone had such a busy time running up to the Platinum Jubilee and we would personally like to thank Joan Gane; she surely is a force to be reckoned with. She rallied the troops within Meldreth, to organise a wonderful street/garden party Jubilee, allowing us all to thoroughly enjoy the celebrations. Also, thank you to the Meldreth Jubilee Crew, who looked after our Queen, Wendy Braid and her Lady in Waiting, Mary Holland. You were fantastic. More thanks are owed to Russell and his hard working team, who provided a wonderful selection of hot foods and also Lindsey, who spiced it all up with a beautiful Caribbean menu. Please do remember for future reference that both live in the village, and supply wonderful catering for events.

Finally, many thanks to all our patrons for your continued support. Alan & Sue Tobin
