The Lookout from Ladram – September 2019

We can hardly believe Summer has been and gone already!

Highlights of Summer 2019 include welcoming Exeter Chiefs and Exeter City Football Club to Ladram Bay for team training days – we look forward to supporting the Exeter Chiefs players in Japan at the upcoming Rugby World Cup.

We’re delighted to have been a part of the recent local project to create a special place in Otterton to remember the local servicemen lost in the First World War. Now that both the young Oak tree and circular bench have been planted & installed within the Stantyway Recreation ground we’re certain this delightful spot will be enjoyed by many for years to come.

Planning is now well underway for season 2020 and will include the installation of new solar panels in the winter to lessen our carbon footprint. These will be fitted to our key facility buildings and it is estimated will save a predicted 171 tonnes/year of CO2! 

 

After our recent marine wildlife visitors we’re all focussed to do our bit to protect our beach and bay to allow maximum enjoyment for all. Introducing the newest on-park green initiative our One Ton Plastic Challenge. Help us hit our target of plastic collected from the beach and kindly deposit the waste within the large bin adjacent to our new sign on the slipway. 

The Three Rocks 

Great to hear so much positive response from you regarding our specials this year – the Sea Bass dishes and Pizzas have proven especially popular. We’ll soon be busy reviewing this year’s menu and bar stock, so please continue to share feedback and suggestions with the team. With this in mind, we are running a competition for a new addition to our 2020 menu. The winning suggestion will be placed on next year’s menu and the winner will have their first meal of the season on us (T+C’s apply). Please send any of your ideas to Kayleigh and Matt (kayleighwilliams@ladrambay.co.uk).
