Cookbook Club at Five Little Pigs

The premise of Cookbook Club is simple. We come together on the first Tuesday of every month to enjoy a meal cooked from a favourite cookbook, discuss recipes and ideas and have a glass (or two) of something fitting. Tickets are limited.


Our cookbook for this month is Cooking by Jeremy Lee.


Come along to the shop at 6.30pm if you'd like to discuss the book and swap recipes with the other guests, before heading across to Five Little Pigs for Aimee's take on the recipes and a fabulous two course dinner from the book.


Email the Pigs to book your ticket at littlepigsltd@gmail.com

Wednesday 4th March, 6.30pm

'Shh! I'm reading..' Book Club

A book club where you could choose to read your own book!


Come along, chat about the books you're currently reading for 15 minutes or so (or just listen to the discussion - no participation necessary) then read quietly for 45 - 50 minutes in the company of like-minded bibliophiles.


£5 entry, redeemable against your next read


You bring a blanket / cushion and we'll provide the herbal tea and biscuits!


Please get in touch if interested.
