THIS evening, the Thatch restaurant in Thame will playing host to a rather special charity event when The Thame Players and their guest of honour, Nicholas Parsons OBE, who lives not far from Thame, will be dropping in for dinner.

More than 50 guests are expected to pack out the Thame pub for the sell-out event which will raise funds for the development of the Players Theatre to offer an even better experience for visitors.

Thatch head chef, Tom Upham, has created a special menu for the three course dinner, with the pub giving the proceeds from the event to The Thame Players. BBC Radio’s ‘Just a Minute’ and TV presenter and after dinner speaker, Nicholas, will also help with a charity auction over coffee after the meal.

Frazer Sutherland and his team from The Thatch are hoping the evening will provide a big boost to the theatre?s building fund, as well as offer a night of great food, drink and entertainment.
