Pia, Dave and the Team are amazing. The meals are always not only delicious but a very, very generous size. The menu is extensive and so is the special boards as well. Fairhaven and the Community are so fortunate to have this service and these quality meals, just on their door step for the summer month's. Thank you for what you do and have created. Jo
