2008 is a year of change, challenges and high expectations. Chef and proprietor,Craig Wilson, has pledged to raise over £10,000 for Breast Cancer Care by the end of this year.  Craig has close personal links with this charity and wants to show his appreciation and support for the excellent work they do.  2008 was kicked off in style with Hogmanay and New Year’s Day parties for close friends, family and loyal patrons here at Eat on the Green and over £1,300 was raised.

For Craig, the hard work has only just begun.


 
Food & Fun Day

On May 11th there will be a Food and Fun Day here in Udny Green, celebrating
all that is good about local food and promoting health & wellbeing.  Music,
dancing, cookery demonstrations, BBQ, Marquee Bar, Wine Tasting, arts &
crafts, health & wellbeing fair and a local Farmers Market are just a few of
the attractions you can expect! There will be lots to keep the youngsters busy (and
the young at heart!), including Football Skills coaching, a Bouncy Castle,
Bobby the Playbus and much, much more. 

 

Ready Steady Cook

But this will be no ordinary village fete with the main draw likely to be a
'Ready Steady Cook' challenge where Craig and his close friend (and Chairman of the Master
Chefs of Great Britain), George McIvor, will go head to head to conjure up some culinary
masterpieces in 30 minutes with members of the audience to assist.  The
quirky competition will be hosted by local resident and TV presenter, Sarah
Mack (Landward, BBC2 Scotland).  The contest will be a ticketed event held
in the Village Hall, Door Open 1:30pm (Cost: £5 all proceeds for Breast Cancer Care), please
call 01651 842 337 or email
enquiries@eatonthegreen.co.uk us now- TICKETS ARE SELLING FAST!

decadent lounge to enjoy champagne, canapés and light entertainment. Tickets
