We do realise that you may not have your mind firmly on the end of the year yet but for those involved in the planning of Christmas parties, it's rarely too early.

This year we will be happily welcoming back some regular Christmas guests and would love to see some new faces around our log fire and 20 foot Christmas tree. We can't guarantee a white Christmas but can promise a great atmosphere in a magnificant setting.

Our Yuletide menu follows but please feel free to call, email or drop in for further details.
