From The Thatched Inn, Abbotsham:
As we gather to honour the memory of our dear friend, the late James Lee, on Thursday 5th March. We want to ensure the day runs as smoothly as possible for everyone attending. To help with this, we kindly ask guests to use the top road as the entrance and the bottom junction as the exit, which will help keep traffic moving safely past the pub.
We are very grateful to Rick Turner at The Big Sheep, who has generously offered the use of his car park. If you are able to walk a short distance, please make use of this parking area. The road directly in front of the pub can then be used as a drop‑off point for those who need it.
Our kitchen will be closed from 4pm on Wednesday 4th March and re open on Friday 6th March at 11.30am.
We will only be open for the wake on Thursday 5th March, closed the the general public.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. Your cooperation will help us create a calm and respectful space as we come together to remember James.
