The free Christmas dinners proved popular with all
Beach Bites UK, on Eastborough, decided to offer a free three-course Christmas dinner for anyone who is lonely, homeless or vulnerable.
Manager Nathan Pratt said they had wanted to help as many people as possible, but even they couldn’t believe the range of people they fed this year.
He said: “We ended up doing around 230 meals, there were just five or six left so we pretty much ran out. It was really good.

“We fed the homeless, we did six meals for a family staying at the Grand Hotel because their house had flooded, one lady messaged on Christmas Day to say their oven had broken and please could they have four Christmas dinners. We even had people turn up on Christmas Day.
