St. Nicholas Hospice

Raising Money for St. Nicholas Hospice Care

We’re a busy lot at the Plough, but not so busy that we can’t find the time to raise some much needed cash for people in the community around us. Our chosen charity for this year is St Nicholas Hospice Care in Bury St. Edmunds, who give palliative care for terminally ill patients in their final days, and also support their families. They work tirelessly to provide a very valuable service to the local community, relying solely on funding.

We're delighted to announce the arrival of our mouth-watering, exciting new Winter Menu.
