A CHARITY meal, run by Tavistock pub the Market Inn last week, has raised more than £600 for the Shelterbox Turkey and Syria earthquake relief fund.

Some of the proceeds from that full-price event paid for a free community meal on the same night, also provided by the pub, at Tavistock Area Support Services which supports older people’s needs.

The pub event also staged a raffle of football tickets for Arsenal v Brighton.

The pub’s management thanked all the local businesses who contributed time and products for the meals. The success has encouraged the pub to consider another fund-raising event also show-casing West Country producers.
