Pete's Place is Packed!




Pete White took over the management of what was Hall + Co and then Jemm's Coffee Shop in Ramsden Heath in December 2019.  He approached it with great dedication and enthusiasm and has good plans for the place.

Through word of mouth and social media people have noticed!  It was crazily busy over the Christmas period and is still busy now.  When you walk into the coffee shop, that does an excellent range of cold and cooked food, it is alive with chatter and happy customers.  It is a multi-cuisine café and serves breakfast, lunch, drinks and coffee. 

Bookings and walk-ins are welcome, it is very child-friendly and welcomes group bookings and parties.  It does a takeaway service and as Pete used to be a private chef catering is definitely his forte. 

But it's not all about Pete, the rest of the staff are excellent too, Aimée, Louise, Mandy, Keeley, Susan and Violeta to name a few.  You usually get a friendly welcome when you enter the café and there are many regular customers who enjoy all it has to offer.

What an asset for our little village!!!
*It is also dog-friendly too.

Ingatestone Musical and Operetta Group shine again in Spamalot!

Once again Ingatestone Musical and Operetta Group aced it!  Lets call them IMOG for short.  This group who started in 1970 in the village of Ingatestone have metamorphosised over the years as times have changed.  Recently they have won not one but two NODA Regional  Awards for best panto, one for Aladdin in 2019 and one for Sleeping Beauty in 2022, that is quite an achievement and well deserved. I have been in a few productions since October 2017 with them,  Sister Act and Nine to Five , Aladdin and Betty Blue Eyes .  The group are friendly and welcoming and when you're involved in the rehearsals, there are often lots of laughs to be had.  But I will say, although they are classified as an amateur dramatic group they are very serious about getting brilliant, memorable results.   In Spamalot there were several notable actors who did their parts brilliantly.  King Arthur played by Mark Walker was excellent, he was also the king in Sleeping Beauty , a natural king.  Patsy was pl

Bas-Arts-Index

  Bas-Arts-Index is, as they say on their website, a home for Basildon's creatives to connect and collaborate.  Having been a member for some time I decided to ask them some questions, with the aim in mind to expose to the general public and anyone who is interested in the local arts, all the good that the Index do and how they help give exposure to their members, amongst other things. They are Basildon's first interdisciplinary, artist-led directory/network.  With the mission to provide an online space for Basildon's creative individuals, groups and organisations who are either born, living, working in or making work about the Basildon Borough.  Their hope is to connect local creatives which in turn will generate activity, collaboration and to help support a cohesive arts ecology. There are currently six Bas-Arts-Index members in the working party.  This consists of Ben Stewart, Anthony Marriage, Laura Whiting, Aaron Shrimpton, Maxine Newell and Shaun Badham. The members w

Geraldine Evans, One of the Basildon Heroes Celebrated in 2019

In 2019 Basildon in Essex celebrated its 70th anniversary and Geraldine was one of the named Basildon Heroes, and she is the lady I will be introducing on Monday to an audience at Vange Library in  Basildon.  Of all the people I have interviewed in research of my two books she has been one of the best storytellers to date.  Up there with Tom King former Chief Features Writer for Echo Newspapers and Vin Harrop, Arts Champion and of course Kenneth Porter, author and Chairman of Basildon Heritage in the Green Centre at Wat Tyler. This is what they said about Geraldine on the council website about Basildon at 70: - "In her role as a publican, Geraldine was a real community leader. She ran a successful local business for over 50 years and raised countless £1,000's for local charities - including the Vange Village Fayre that was run in conjunction with St Chads Church." In her retirement Geraldine has done talks at various places, Women's Institute's and U3A's for e
