Hi Everyone,
Many of you may or may not know but we have been in the last few months buying lots of fondue sets! We have finally got enough which leads us onto our next monthly evening event as you can see. Something completely new and on ground not yet trodden for us at the café. I think a few of you think we are completely mad undertaking two courses of fondues but you know how we love a challenge!!!! So as you can see from the menu below, starter and dessert will be 'fondue-esque' with sliders for our buffet main course, which in case you don't know, sliders are mini versions of everything. Don't panic though if you have a big appetite we have solution- just eat more of them!!! 
We hope you will come and join us for a fun evening!
Don't forget...… there's a forfeit if you drop your food in the fondue!! (Don't worry we won't be enforcing that but your table guests might!!) You are, as ever, welcome to bring your own alcohol, we simply charge you £1 per person to cover glass washing and bottle disposal. You might be interested to know we have recently put in for our alcohol license for our café which will enable us to sell alcohol, which for some of you will make you very happy. If however you think you would still like to bring your own then this will remain unchanged. 
Cafe Address- Thyme after time, Spire Hill Farm, Thornhill, Stalbridge, DT10 2SG.
Landline number is 01963 362202

Stalbridge Library will be closed for three days next week due to the road closures in Stalbridge, which will unfortunately make the Hub car park inaccessible. The library will be closed on WEDNESDAY 19th JUNE, THURSDAY 20th JUNE and FRIDAY 21st JUNE. The team at the library apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but as many of their volunteers rely on their cars to get to the library they really had no option. Any books due for return or renewal on these days should be returned as soon as possible after re-opening and will be back dated to the 18th June. As the timings for the road closures are fluid please keep an eye on the Stalbridge Library website or facebook page for any updates.
