Councillor Clive Woodbridge, Chair of the Community & Wellbeing Committee, commented: “We know that for many families, the cost of taking part in sport can be a real obstacle. By helping to ease financial pressures, the Access to Activity bursary can help ensure 12–15-year-olds can take part in a sport they enjoy, feel included and thrive! We encourage parents, guardians and young people to explore what’s available and apply.
The Pie Club menu keeps things simple, offering a choice of two freshly made pies, each cooked to order. There’s a short wait of around 20–25 minutes, but the quality more than justifies the patience. We went with the Steak and Guinness Pie which had a bone in the middle with melting butter and marrow bone. The pie is served with creamy mashed potato, seasonal vegetables, and a generous helping of parsley liquor, creating a comforting yet elevated dish.
At £70 for two—including a 500ml carafe of Pinot Grigio or Cabernet Sauvignon (or the option to swap for individual 250ml glasses or a pint of Victoria Lager or Victoria Hazy IPA)—it represents excellent value for the quality and experience on offer.
We started with a sharing platter. This consisted of 2 Vadai, a spiced, doughnut-shaped fritters served with creamy coconut sambal, 2 fish cutlets, a spicy breaded croquette, 2 mutton rolls, a fried savoury crepe roll with a spicy, juicy mutton filling and 2 fish Pattis, a spicy empanada with fish filling encased in a flaky, buttery crust
With this, we tried a traditional Sri Lankan street food dish egg hoppers, The hoppers were particularly interesting: delicate bowl-shaped pancakes served with fried onion, coconut and a fiery raw onion and chilli relish that certainly wakes up the taste buds. This was a great way to sample a range of flavours.
For mains we chose the king prawn curry, a dish inspired by the chef’s
One of the highlights of the visit was the live kitchen visible from the restaurant area, which adds a sense of theatre and excitement as you watch the dishes being freshly prepared.

Ewa Klepczuk, Primark Epsom’s store manager, said: “After working at Primark for many years, I’m excited to now be part of bringing our exciting new store to Epsom. We know there is a lot of anticipation for our arrival, and with 90 new retail colleagues now in place, we’re all working hard behind the scenes to ensure we’re ready for opening day. I’m really looking forward to seeing the reaction of local shoppers when our doors open, where they’ll find our famous Primark must-haves, all at unbeatable value for the entire family. Everyone is welcome to join in with our celebrations – we can’t wait to see everyone there!”
Louisa Butters, Head of Urban Destinations (Retail & Offices) at CBRE Investment Management, owners of Ashley Centre, said: “The opening of Primark marks a significant milestone for the Ashley Centre and is a strong acknowledgement of the progress we’ve made through our recent refurbishment programme. As one of the UK’s leading retailers, Primark brings both scale and drawing power, playing a key role in strengthening the scheme’s anchor line-up and enhancing its overall proposition. Its arrival will further elevate the quality, accessibility and relevance of the destination, while reinforcing the confidence that major national brands have in our long-term vision for its continued transformation.”
