We’ve been invited to hold a Scoobysnacks Xmas dinner at the usual venue (I’ve provisionally booked 30 places on Saturday 1 December). We will have our own area sectioned off, and have full use of the bar before, during and after dinner. The local cricket club, and members of the Austin Healey club are also having their Xmas bashes there that night (we will have our own parking area – as usual ).

Dinner will be @1830, and is £19.95 per head (£9.95 for children 12 and under). A deposit of £10 per person is required.

The menu choices are as follows:

STARTERS
- Wild Mushroom & Tarragon Soup (v)
- Smoked Salmon & Fresh Asparagus Spears
- Sherried Chicken Livers

MAIN COURSES
{All served with a selection of fresh winter vegetables}
- Traditional Bronzed Turkey & Honeyed Ham (with all the festive trimmings) *
- Prime Sirloin Steak (cooked to your liking and complemented by a creamy Peppercorn & Brandy Sauce)
- Paupiettes of Fish Bon Noël (stuffed with a Scallop & Prawn mousseline)
- Oven Roasted Mushroom Risotto (v) *
- Breast of Duck with Port & Plum Sauce

DESSERTS
- Christmas Pudding (served with rich Brandy Sauce)
- Chef’s Festive Dessert

TO FINISH
Coffee, Mince Pies & Mints


*Main course options available for children : Roast Turkey, Mushroom Risotto (v) or normal children’s menu (Sausages, Scampi or Chicken)

********

All deposits (by cheque) AND menu choices need to be with me by no later than Friday 26 October (as the landlord has asked me to pay the deposit/confirm menu choices in one lump sum – he will not take individual bookings over the phone). The balance will be due on the night.

If you would like to join us then please post your interest here, and e-mail me with your menu choices (kim_rb5@hotmail.com). I’ll then let you have my address to send the deposit payments to (I promise I won’t run off with the money – wouldn’t get that far anyway ).

Cheers
Kim


p.s. due to limited numbers, preference will be given to regulars, but there will hopefully be enough to expand

Hi Kim,

Yep, my tribe are up for it.

Please book up 2 adults for us..... not worth giving robyn a meal as 2 peas usually is enough for her (she prefers about 200 bags of buttons!!)

we are both up for the turkey.... not so sure about the starters though!!!

Iain - Dom's got a side order of gherkins and, before Maffa says anything, I've got a "pot of tea"

Steve, Mark & Zaz - you've got mail

Rob & Hazel - as the great Victor Meldrew would say "I don't belieeeeve it" Sorry, it's sit down to dinner @1830 (landlord's request as there's so going to be so many people there that night). Please come when you can though - close the store early/send them all to Toys R Us

Kim

p.s. 20 places left
