What a fantastic New Year's Eve party at the Chapel.  The food was without doubt quite extraordinary and the entertainment great fun.  Well done to Shaun and Kim and al the staff who are so loyal and hard working.

For those who I understand complained about the need for a charge, you need to consider the cost levied by the pubs and restaurants in Taunton, many of whom did not provide food (certainly not of the quality and quantity at The Chapel) or entertainment.

My family, like many others, really value this pub.  It has become the focal point for the village - in fact it gives Cotford a village feel.  I feel comfortable that, despite it being our village pub, it will evolve as the word gets out to be a big draw to others outside of Cotford to visit and enjoy the atmosphere and food.

Please lets not forget what Cotofrd would be like without this resource and facility - an empty housing estate on the outside of a mediocre town.  There will always be those shallow enough to moan and complain about the slightest thing who never bother to do anything themselves for the village, but please lets applaud the efforts being made at great cost I am sure, to provide us with a vibrant yet relaxing pub and restaurant within walking distance from our homes.

Congratulations Shaun and Kim.  You've regenerated Cotford.  Thank you.

Hey - Just in case you haven't heard, there's a good do at The Chapel on Sunday Night (28th March).
Colette, (one of the Chefs) is leaving us for new horizons in Australia. So Shaun & Kim are putting on a bit of a do to thank her for her services.
Bin Laden, sorry, I mean Jordan (the other chef) will be supplying the music with his band, if you have not heard them they are really good. So come along on Sunday evening as I am sure that a certain poet will be dancing the night away!
PS. Please do not tell the Americans that Bin Laden is cooking in Cotford.

Sad to know that Collette is leaving    (we will miss her --- and her cooking!)

But looking forward to her Party tonight  -----------!

See you all in a bit----------------

I so agree, Henry! It was a brilliant night! Thank you, Shaun, Kim and Jordan and the band. 

a big thank you to all from the chapel.

One of Ozzie Bin Liners many brothers who was part of the Bin Liner construction business built some palacial gated residences with landscaped grounds on a bit of land near my old village. Having farmed them off to passing stockbrokers and others of that ilk for a tidy profit he apparently celebrated by spending some of the proceeds on a shiny new microlight, which he promptly crashed into a wheat field with appropriately fatal results.

I reckon the septics can't find the real Bed Linen because he's donned a burqa and slipped off somewhere. He's probably living quietly in Croydon. On full benefits.

It was very nice to meet you too her_in_doors and Anvil too, as you know i was on coca cola as usual so was quite sober and didn't notice any slur.
