VISITORS to a popular Dales pub munched 1,874 portions of onion rings last year leading to a generous donation to Kirkby-in-Malhamdale Primary School.

The Lister Arms, in Malham, owned by Daniel Thwaites brewery, gave £468.50 to the school, the result of a 25p donation for every portion of the popular side order sold during 2023.

Headteacher Richard Wright said: “We are hugely grateful to the Lister Arms and Daniel Thwaites brewery for their continued support to our school. Thank you from our whole school to everyone who loves the Lister’s delicious onion rings.”

Mr Wright added: “Thanks to this support we will look forward to expanding our learning resources both in the classroom and our Forest school which will be of benefit to all of our pupils – it is very much appreciated."

Lister Arms manager Chris Denning said: “Supporting the school is just one of the ways we do our bit for our community. We look forward to continuing our partnership over the coming years.”
