Village Hall

The Village is fortunate in having a very useful and well-maintained Village Hall which is used for a wide range of activities and functions. Hire charges are very reasonable, and good facilities are available.

The Village Hall is situated on the Village Green, and is managed by a small committee of village residents, who oversee the general running of the hall and organise fund raising events to cover running costs and to pay for improvements to the building. It is well used by local organisations and holds regular events such as Stillington Under 5s (Tuesday mornings); Women's Institute (2nd Wednesday of each month); Gardening Club (4th Wednesday evening of each month); Happy Hours Club (every 2 weeks on Thursday afternoons); Indoor Bowling (Winter); Stillington School (many uses especially over winter period); Table Top Sales (1st Sunday of each month October to April).

We are always looking for more regular or private bookings.

 Gulshan Restaurant (formerly The White Dog), Main Street

The White Dog Inn was changed in the late 1990’s from being primarily a local drinkers' pub into an authentic Indian Restaurant and Take-Away.

The traditional country pub has been transformed into a welcoming and very comfortable eating place, which is appreciated by its local regular clientele and visitors passing through the village. We offer an extensive selection of excellent quality Indian food at very reasonable prices, and for the early diners we have an Early Bird menu from 5pm to 7pm on Monday to Friday.

Our Take-Away menu and service has proved very popular and successful with those wishing to have a change of menu at home.
