Rumwell hosts Afternoon Chari-Tea

Author: Cherry Pullinger Published: 30th May 2018 14:15

PEOPLE who love afternoon tea are this month (June, 2018) invited by a farm shop in Somerset to book a place for its Afternoon Chari-Tea.

Rumwell Farm Shop is hosting the event on Thursday, June 14 from 3pm until 5pm to raise money for Stand Against Violence (SAV), which is one of its charities of the year.

Anne Mitchell, Joint Owner of the farm shop, which is located on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington, said: "We would like to invite people from the area to our very special Afternoon Chari-Tea to also raise money for SAV.

"The afternoon tea will take place in our cafe and will cost £10.95. One pound from each ticket sale will go to the charity. The Chari-Tea will include a variety of sandwiches, scones and cakes and plenty of tea!

"We will decorate the cafe with table cloths, flowers and vintage china to really give the English afternoon tea feel. There will also be relaxing background music and we will be hosting a raffle in aid of the charity with a range of prizes.

"Booking for this event is essential, please call 01823 461 599 and select option four or email cafe@rumwellfarmshop.com."

SAV was set up in 2005 following the murder of 17-year-old Lloyd Fouracre. SAV aims to prevent violence, its long-term consequences and the grief of losing loved ones. The workshops it delivers equip and inform students in an effective manner how to Stand Against Violence.

Adam Fouracre, Chief Executive Officer at Stand Against Violence, said: "It's fantastic that Rumwell Farm Shop is hosting another event in aid of SAV. Its support is greatly appreciated. With the money raised we can continue to deliver anti-violence workshops, self-defence and vital first aid lessons to young people across England and Wales."

Rumwell Farm Shop is an independent, family-run, award-winning business owned by the Mitchell family. It was originally a potato store, when David and Anne Mitchell began selling their potatoes and free-range eggs at the gate.

Due to customer demand, the range of products soon increased, and the farm shop grew into the place it is today. David and Anne's sons, James and Jack, are now also involved in the business as well as daughter-in-law Sophie.

As well as the Butchery counter, Rumwell Farm Shop also has a delicatessen, bakery, jam kitchen, food hall, wine cellar and gift room.

Home grown potatoes are also still available, when in season, as well as everything from fruit, vegetables and groceries to plants, flowers, gifts and cards.

The Rumwell Cafe can seat approximately 80 people. The food prepared in the cafe kitchen is sourced from the farm shop, the Mitchell family farm and regional suppliers.

Families are welcome to the cafe and there is a menu especially for children. The cafe also serves afternoon teas, carvery on a Sunday and is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages.

The Afternoon Chari-Tea will take place at the Rumwell Cafe on Thursday, June 14 from 3pm until 5pm. Booking is essential.
