Enjoy A Very Merry Christmas... HAMBLETON HALL PROMISES A MEMORABLE CHRISTMAS LUNCH FOR GUESTS RUTLAND T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring... not even in the kitchen. That’s because rather than enduring the usual round of veg preparation and giblet wrestling, the household in question decided to enjoy the hospitality of one of Rutland’s finest hotels instead. This month, with the number of people allowed around the curtailed, why not avoid the chore of creating Christmas dinner and enjoy a six course, six person Christmas lunch at Hambleton Hall instead? On the menu is an appetiser of baked potato bouillon followed by chicken liver parfait, apple chutney and seared scallop with charred leek. Main course is a roast Machin farm turkey with all of the traditional festive
accompaniments, and to follow, there’s a taste of Christmas pudding and passion fruit soufflé. You can dine at Hambleton Hall, whilst

NORMANTON Going green is rarely taken as literally as this... but Normanton Church was illuminated in a festive shade of green last month to celebrate the reservoir receiving a Green Flag award. One of just 2,000 sites across the UK to be recognised for its environmental credentials, the Green Flag award was given to mark its well-managed green spaces and the quality of its surroundings. Normanton is in good company, too, as the White Cliffs of Dover and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park have
also been recognised by the award which will be reassessed and - hopefully - rewarded each year. Keep Britain Tidy Chief Executive Allison OgdenNewton said: “This year, more than ever, our parks and green spaces have been a lifeline.” “Millions of people have used them. The award is testament to the incredible dedication and hard work of park’s staff and volunteers who have enabled Rutland Water to achieve the highest international standards demanded by the Green Flag Award.” n
