Christmas and New Year

Christmas menus will be available shortly in printed form and on our website. Book your Christmas parties now!

This year we have decided to do something different for New Year's Eve. Join us to celebrate with live music from local vocalist Cari Winter. She proved so popular at our re-opening bash that we have asked her back again. Her sets will include jazz and blues standards as well as party hits to dance to.  We will serve a cheese and biscuit buffet and the ticket price will include a glass of bubbly at midnight. The dress code is Red Carpet Glamorous - so take the opportunity to wear your best bib and tucker! Tickets are £10 per head and the event is ticket only so please buy early.
