Sue Rutherford, a local cook will again be rustling up a delicious meal for the welcome reception on 2 May… And new this year – after 6 years cooking and baking in local cafes, including providing weekly meal deliveries locally during lockdown. Sue has recently set up her own business – Deeside Dining.

Sue is offering to provide you with delicious home cooked meals which you can heat up in your accommodation. Perfect after a long day in the open air! She can also provide the option of packed lunches which you would pre-order and collect from your meeting point before your walk.

Email Sue at deesidedining@gmail.com and she will send you menus.
