Kitchen Crockery, cutlery and glassware

Crockery, cutlery and glassware is supplied in limited quantities with variable quality/qualities.  Most kitchenwares have been donated from 60 years of village fetes - so what there is can best be described as vintage mixed styles and eras.  Nothing matches!  If you want to impress your guests please contact Silkwise Catering, a reliable local company able to supply the full catered-for experience.  Not aiming to impress?  If you find it in our kitchen cupboards you are welcome to use it.  Inspection before booking is welcomed.
Mixed non-matching cutlery from 1969 to 2026 vintage
Various glassware
More mugs than glasses!
Steel teapots - not quite the Polly Tearooms. You will always find these at the seaside, never in Betty's of Harrogate!
Quaint crocks of yesteryear.

Sports Facilities

Tennis Courts  The two tennis courts are operated by Seend Tennis Club and bookable online. ​When booking a court, login to http://Clubspark.lta.org.uk/SeendTennisClub, go to 'Court Bookings' page, look at the top right "View my bookings' and scroll to "view as member', which should allow you to book a court.

Lye Recreation Field  The Seend Lye Recreation Field, whilst open to the public, is a managed facility held in trust for the people of Seend.  We support the  use of the field by any legitimate sports team or group wishing to reserve the facility for group recreation.  We regret we cannot welcome teams and groups who have neglected to make a paid-for reservation!   Groups of people meeting for a Sunday morning kick about, for example, may be inconvenienced by a sports team or private party reservations.  Please be kind and considerate if this happens.

Sports Team Changing Rooms  Two team changing rooms are available for hire at the time of booking.  Showers/WC available.
