Victoria calls for ration books, war time medals and memorabilia for its Remembrance Week
The Victoria pub in Thurston is holding a Remembrance week of events from the 2nd to 11th November in aid of Help the Heroes charity. The pub is keen to see war time memorabilia from locals and customers as well as current serving military personnel and in response they get the chance of a two course meal for just £4.95, as near as the pub could get it to war time prices.
Speaking about the event, licensee David Taylor said, “We’re really looking forward to seeing what people turn up with. We’re sure to see lots of medals but I can’t wait to see what other things people have saved from the war. It will also be great to be able to welcome serving military personnel as part of the Remembrance Week”.
Food has been donated or heavily discounted by local suppliers to enable the pub to offer such a great deal and ensure more customers tip and buy raffle tickets, with all the proceeds going in the charity pot. The week will culminate with a Remembrance Sunday lunch which anyone can enjoy for the same price as long as they bring war time memorabilia.
Adding, David said, “Everyone sacrificed so much in the war and are still doing so now throughout the world and I think bringing people together in common recognition of this and to talk about old times will be a great event for young and old alike, and raising money in the process is all the better”.
Speaking about the event, Craig Renforth, Regional Manager for Greene King, the owners of the pub, said, “David has created a week with a difference which certainly puts this great little pub at the centre of the community, I’m sure it will be a lot of fun, exactly what a pub should do for it’s local area”.
