UFORTUNATLY CHRISTMAS 2024
WILL BE A QUIET THIS YEAR.
DUE TO MICK WAITING ON A HIP OPERATION
HE WONT BE ABLE TO COPE WITH THE PHYSICAL STRESSES OF BEING ON HIS FEET FOR THESE LONG PERIODS.
Hopfully we'll be back to NORMAL NEXT YEAR
So having not been able to celebrate Christmas
for the past few years we can now
offer a limited number of dates for this year.
Pre- Christmas Parties
Pre- Christmas parties form 10 to 80 people, can be booked for Monday the 2th of December up to the 22nd provided we have space.
We can do either Lunch or Dinner it’s the same Package.
All the meats are freshly cooked the day of the Party and we prepare the vegetables after we collect them striate from the farm. We don’t like to use frozen vegetables here.
We sit People around tables of up to 12. Your main course meat is plated but you then help yourselves to the vegetables from the table so you can have as much or as little as you like.
The homemade Christmas Pudding are already made and maturing well (sometimes they don’t want to go out when they are set alight).
We have some groups who keep a regular booking from year to year (Booking as they leave for next Year)
So we must be doing something right .May be its the fact that we can serve all the 80 in the group within 15 minutes and we only serve one table at a time.
(Don’t you hate it when you have the third choice on the menu and everyone who had the first is nearly finished by the time you get yours)

We do our best to put like minded people together and you would surprised at the number of new friendships that seam to happen with people asking if there friend from last year is coming again and could we be sat with them again.
Yes the menu ha mat courses but we do not rush you through them as it is only one sitting and we don’t expect any one to leave until at least 4.30 at the earliest.
