The Oak Barn Restaurant raised a tremendous £1451.66 for St Peter & St James Hospice this year.

St Peter & St James Hospice provides expert care to adults living with a life-limiting illness in our community and those close to them.

The Oak Barn Restaurant had incorporated the infamous pie into their Daily Specials Menu's throughout the week, with a percentage of each pie donated towards St Peter & St James Hospice.

Other contributions came from their 'Pie In The Face' event which proved very popular. As well as customers digging deep as usual to donate into St Peter & St James donation tubs.

Pie fillings included turkey and leek, traditional pork pie as well as a well-received brie, cranberry & chestnut pie.

On Saturday 9th March, Chris Harris, the restaurant manager, volunteered to have pies thrown at him between 12pm and 4pm. This proved an enormous 'hit' for the staff and customers who donated generously to take part.

Chris was very pleased with the outcome of the event.. "We thank all our staff for working hard throughout the week to make the event a success, and more importantly, we would like to extend our gratitude to all of our customers for their generosity. We are very pleased with the total raised, beating our previous fundraising total."
