Seniors Lunch – 6 November 2025

Richard Sayer (S56-61) writes : The second annual Seniors Lunch for OFs and their partners will take place at the Plough and Sail in Snape Maltings on Thursday 6^th November.

Timing:  We are expected to sit down at 13:00 but the bar will be open well before that to give us time for pre-lunch mingling. I am delighted that the College has kindly offered to make a significant contribution to the funding of drinks prior to lunch.

Address:  Plough & Sail, Snape Bridge, Snape, Saxmundham, IP17 1SR

Food: We have a choice of 3 main courses and 3 desserts. No starters, to keep the costs and my waistline down; however, olives and hummus will be on the table for nibbles. Please do advise us of any food allergies.

Mains:

• Herb crusted cod with samphire and Cajun butter plus sautéed new potatoes
• Pan fried duck breast with fondant potato, winter greens, cherry purée, and gravy
• Creamy butternut squash, spinach, and wild mushroom risotto with Parmesan (vegetarian)

Desserts:

• Sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce and stem ginger ice cream
• Black Forest Eton mess with chocolate ice cream
• Homemade lemon tart with raspberries three way (sorbet/fresh/freeze dried)

Wine:  One bottle of house red wine (Sangiovese) and one of white (Pinot Grigio) will be on each table, included in the meal price. You may wish to buy soft drinks etc from the bar.

Cost: Our host Alex Burnside has kindly kept the cost the same as last year at £40 per head, inc. tip.

Lucy Garrard – I am delighted that our new OF Coordinator Lucy Garrard has agreed to help me handle the administration of the lunch, so please:

(b) advise her by Monday 27th October of your food choices including any food allergies

(c) also, by that date send the cost for you and your partner to my bank account 60-93-03; 14037268.
