The Thorpe Luncheon Club will be open on the 4th Thursday of every month from 12pm midday to 2.30pm at the Roxley Hall on Yarmouth Road.

Guests will be able to enjoy a freshly cooked two-course lunch for just £7.50.

The service, which is a partnership between Thorpe St Andrew Town Council and the Buddies Day Service, was officially opened on January 25 by John Ward, chairman of Norfolk County Council.

Hayley Howes, community relations manager with Andrew Fredrick Adult Support, said: 'This luncheon proved that a friendly community project can have a positive effect on people's lives.'
