Souths Christmas Dinner Ahoy!!!!

Ah, this will be the second of five xmas dinners in three weeks. I <3 XMAS

9th, 15th, 23rd, 25th and 26th

and anymore that I'm invited to. Bring on the holiday paunch!

hell yeah, I am in!

2. Clefty (with bells and tinsel on) how about the 15th Dec? Can we have secret santa?

BUMPITY BUMP BUMP...

Seven people out of the 35 odd who have signed up have got back to me with their food choices, if you've got back to Snowy cool, if not, pm me or him with food choices...
All is explained below...

Okay good people, spoke to Snowy, and the situation re: South's XMAS has changed a tincey wincey bit.

The Prince Regent are giving us TWO whole rooms upstairs, all for us cycling folk, for no charge.
BUT THEY HAVE PUT THE PRICE OF THE FOOD UP! So its not £11 for two courses its now £19 for two or £23 for three. But remember THIS WILL BE A PROPER XMAS DINNER, not just burgers and chips, see the menu options below. We will need to know by TUESDAY 9TH DECEMBER, what your food choices are, so please pm snowy or myself with your options.
Also this price hike doesn't just affect us, its across the board for all the Regents customers.

Now if this proves too much for you, just come down and drink with us, before during or after we eat as Multigrooves will be spinning some Bright Timeage, and we want, nay, need the whole big messy South Beers Crew in attendance.

Remember Christmas isn't Christmas, without getting stuffed with friends, loved ones and people you ride bikes with. Send us your menu options, whether two or three courses and we'll turn this mother out....

Starters
Soup of the day
Chicken liver parfait, with onion marmalade and toast
Spinach, tomato and cheddar quiche with rocket
Home cured Gravalax with dill and mustard
Pea, broad bean, feta and rocket salad
Artichoke vinaigrette

**Main Courses **
Coq au vin with mash potato and green beans
Wild mushroom risotto with Parmesan
Pan fried salmon, warm crushed potato salad with tomato, black olives and sauce Vierge
Beef Bourguignon with celeriac mash and green beans
Confit duck leg, dauphinoise potato, red cabbage and red wine jus
Christmas turkey with all the trimmings

Puds
Crème brûlée
Chocolate brownie with Jude’s pistachio ice cream
Plumb and Armagnac tart with Jude’s hazelnut ice cream
English and French cheese board with homemade chutney (£3.00 supplement)

I'm peacing out of the dinner due to being broke and having to save money to go home to Cambidge the next day BUT will come and drink some eggnog and sing happy christmas songs.

Are any ladies turning up or is my homemade mistletoe headband going to go to waste?

There's four on that list, and if you treat me nicely and buy me a pint, I might pucker up. You might have to squint a bit and ignore my face stubble.

Its a shame they've upped the prices, what with credit munch and all that, but it'd be great to see people even if they're not going for the full food option.

Yeah it is looking a bit cock-heavy.

Bad santa for the diners? Or maybe after the price hike we ouight to forget it?

Snowy you got mail in a minute.

Corny, if no-one else is going for dessert then you can scratch mine, I don't wanna be the only greedy gus at the party!

Have you decided I'm not going as well?
Where you taking me, any where nice? :-P

oooops!!
Unless you want to join QiKung and meditation classes ;)

Believe me, the way I'm feeling at work at the moment it could be well called for!

Dinner too £££ for me, but still planning to come along for the night.

Can't rustle up any extra girlies, but I do think some degree of formal wear might be fun, I don't get a wear a dress very often.

I fear commitment and am suffering from a serious lack of Christmas spirit at the moment. But I will turn up to drink and make merry. I can dress up as a girl if you like...

oooh i have a friend from the us in town that night. pissflaps. i'll have a look and see if i can do drinks. can't do the meal.

hang on. will there be dancing?

Are you asking? I'm sure there'll be some hip swaying at some point.

I fucked up, cannot come, diary fail. Lame :..( Really looked forward to my Plum tart aswell...

Beer Drinkers - do you have any preferences? Speak now and we can see if they'll stretch their selection of beers (beyond the Black Sheep + two guest beers). They've got Arundel at the moment, which is a pint of caramel.

I shall also be partaking only of booze. Though as I have a 7hour meeting starting at 9am on Tues, this may not be overly sensible.

I may wear antlers too. villa-ru-dolf

Just back from the South of France and catching up, well excited about this I have pm'd mine and MOC's dinner choices.
If anyone is up for secret santa, I have the best present ever to give...
