New tasty menus as catering comes in-house
From September we'll have our very own chef cooking for all daytime events and conferences.
Stephen Carroll has years of experience in the food and beverage industry. Recently he was head chef at Sutton Hoo cooking up thousands of sumptuous meals. His early career with was the big breweries devising great pub food.
To back him up we've appointed actor, director and former P&O cruise ship entertainment officer Martin Scott Warden as front of house supervisor to ensure you get efficient service, how you want it, and to time. He's had lots of experience of coordinating individuals and teams to ensure the show goes on.
To introduce our new team we'll be cooking up some "Meet the Cook" evenings for our corporate clients.
"Daytime catering has come in-house to give our clients greater choice and value - healthier options and the plus of using regional produce from some of the Suffolk Agricultural Association's members, who specialise in some of the best foods across Suffolk," said commercial manager Christine Bond.

It's all happening this summer at Trinity Park
There are very few dates when the 350 acre site is quiet - or empty
This weekend thousands of caravans will travel to the site for the annual Federation of International Caravan Clubs rally. So if you're stuck behind a caravan as it makes its way from Harwich or Felixstowe, remember the 5000 visitors will be spending money in the region and bumping up the local economy during their week long stay. Some experts think by at least £30-£40 a day per family on fuel, food, drink and entertainment. Club president David Bellamy MBE will be leading the pond dipping in our conservation and wildlife area.

Have a great summer...see you in the autumn - in the meantime this is about the worst archery joke we could find, but it is worth a shot...
Which is more dangerous, a great archer or a terrible one?
A terrible one, because a great one hits there he aims, but a poor one could hit anything!
