Happy is said to be the family that can eat onions together.

August always feels like a significant month within the year. For many of us because this really highlights a time of perfect family fun … and the fondest of family memories. This was the month when the weather was better, school was out and the days felt long and sunny.
Family get togethers were held. The picnic blankets and ball games came out of the garage and the car boot was loaded with the excitement of summer!
The day was planned and every family unit brought Tupperware full of boiled eggs, pickled onions and corned beef sandwiches! Whilst competition was rhyf because everyone wanted to win at the rounders!
Today, it can be a little more challenging to get the entire family together. Much more planning is needed – but boy is it worth it when we do!

This is the the month that is always full to the brim with events, activities, festivals and more in Plymouth – with lots of wonderful free fun things too. What’s more, with our fabulous kitchens it’s so easy to prepare an alfresco heaven of more than just a pickled onion or two!
