Nick Goes Back To School
Nick Lyons recently made the short trip back to his old school to meet up with his former hospitality teacher Mrs. Bennett to demonstrate the art of portioning a whole chicken to 4 classes of students. Not only is this great life skill; Nick was also about to discuss with each class the key steps involved in meat processing, and the importance of sustainability and food waste. Great work Nick!
Here at Eric Lyons we have always strived to give a little back where we can and be an active member of our local and regional communities. We also strongly believe in nurturing talent, so hopefully through Nick’s visit and him sharing his knowledge, we can inspire and empower the next generation of culinary enthusiasts. Who knows? Perhaps some of these students will one day grace our high street or farm shop as valued customers, or even join our team as staff members.
We can also happily confirm that Nick also made it back without any homework and (for once!) he manage to avoid detention!
Love Knowle Park
LoveKnowlePark is a community led group whose mission is to increase the enjoyment of Knowle Park as a place of natural beauty supporting recreation, health and social well-being of residents and visitors.
A vital part of our lovely village. The Love Knowle park group needed funding for new equipment as the existing playground is run down. Eric Lyons donates £1,000 towards the project. Used by generations of the Lyons family with many great memories, it was an easy decision to fund such an amazing community project.
If you would like to offer a donation or help support the project please visit –https://www.loveknowlepark.co.uk/sponsorship/our-sponsors
