Mister Pink's Delicious Battered Pigs in Blankets
Mister Pink's, Milford on Sea's renowned fish & chip shop have added a festive special to their menu; Battered Pigs in Blankets.
That being said, they are now offering a Lunch Special of Cod & Half Chips for £8.50, showing that they are doing all they can to provide value for money to customers.
The Battered Pig in Blanket is £2 and sounds something worth tasting! They will only be available from now and up until Christmas, so get in quick if you would like to try them.
Everyone loves a treat of fish & chips, it is a British tradition, and still value for money in light of inflation everywhere at present.
Hopefully everyone will do all they can to support Mister Pink's (and all the other village shops & businesses) in the coming weeks and months. The village centre is literally the heart of the village and it is great for us all when it beats strong. The last thing anyone wants is for us to lose what is a valued institution in the village.

Santa is coming to Milford This Sunday
Father Christmas is paying a visit on his sleigh to Milford on Sea this Sunday 11th December between around 5.30pm to 7pm.
Santa will arrive in Milford on Sea at 5.30pm (Supported Milford on Sea Primary School PFA) and then travel around a number of roads in the village.
Santa loves to stop and chat to the children and whilst he'd love to have a photo with everyone, he needs to keep going to keep to his busy schedule. However, if you are ready with your camera then you might be lucky enough to take a quick picture of your child standing with Santa!
There will be an extended stop at the Smugglers Inn from around 6.15pm to 7pm'ish, which provides a great chance for the kids to say hello and maybe get a photo on his sleigh.
You can see his route on the image below.
Santa Tracker: There will be a link for a Santa Tracker released on the day so that people do not have to wait ages in the cold but come out just as he's coming past. To keep an eye on when the Santa Tracker is launched please follow their Facebook Page by clicking here.

This festive fun is organised by the New Milton Round Table. The New Milton Round Table elves are all taking time out of their own busy lives and away from their families on a Sunday afternoon to bring Santa to as many children as possible. Please make it worthwhile by donating generously. All money raised goes back into the local community. To follow where the money goes please see their Facebook Page in the coming weeks.
Donations can be made by clicking here or drop a few coins in the buckets. You can also scan the QR code on the sleigh or on the route map image above.

About Vinegar Hill Pottery
Vinegar Hill Pottery is a small family-owned pottery and bed and breakfast that's very much a family affair. Lucy Rogers oversees the management and day-to-day running of this delightful three-room accommodation. Dave is a master potter who runs his workshop from the premises and offers tuition to aspiring ceramic artists.
With a degree in all things Latin American from Bristol University, Lucy spent time living and studying in Latin America before settling in Bristol and working for ten years for a travel company that specialised in offbeat Latin America. Her job involved travel to small, remote and unique lodges and hotels throughout the continent. This fuelled her passion for travel and gave her the experiences and know-how of what does and doesn’t work for individual, boutique accommodation, and the grounding for Vinegar Hill accommodation.
David's skill as a potter is matched only by his ability as a teacher and patience with those who are new to the kinetic delights of the potter's wheel - the ultimate hands-on experience. Regular pottery courses are open to residents and non-residents alike. There are no identikit rooms at Vinegar Hill. You can pick your accommodation from the spacious Garden Room, the secluded Hayloft or enjoy the delights of Rosie - a beautifully restored nineteenth century showman's wagon for a truly unique experience.
