Eating Out Guide
SUPPORT LOCAL EATERIES IN LEVEL 3 AND LEVEL 2
With the Covid19 restrictions most of these hospitality businesses will be supplying take-out meals in level 3. By the time you are reading this printed issue it is hoped we are in level 2 which will mean they will be able to open for eat-in meals once again. Fantastic! We urge you to support our valued local eateries by buying their take-out meals and visiting them for an eat-in treat when things open up again in level 2.
