VE Day wth boiled beef and carrots
From a menu which included vegetable broth and sponge pudding, this authentic war-time dish was served to residents of Grosvenor Park who enjoyed their street party in the most civilised way given the blustery weather of the weekend - indoors.
Staff entered into the spirit of the occasion by dressing in the costume of the time and leading the singalong - popular tunes of the day such as Run Rabbit Run, Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major, and, of course, We'll Meet Again.
