RAOC Christmas Party - Monday 17th December

Is there a Xmas meet up this year?

Yes Blacksmiths Arms Monday 17th December 7.30pm details below.

3rd Monday rule makes it Monday 17th December 7.30pm.

I actually went to the Old Salt Quay and Curry Garden tonight and they both have availability if you have any preference.

The Salt Quay Xmas menu seems excessively expensive this year at £22.95 for 2 course and £25.95 for three courses.

Given that on the normal menu an average starter is £5 and a main £12 totalling £17 for two courses the Xmas menu is no great deal unless you really want turkey!!

Stephen, The Club Expects, "A Deal", now please go hussle and work your magic .
My local is £28 for 4 courses, £10 advance booking deposit and ordering all courses in advance and posh decor and sit down and probably surrounded by rather boring ultra controversial conservatives who don't swear!
Looking forward to a great evening.

Will do more exploration of options tomorrow. The Thai chef is back next door so I will ask about a Buffett. I really hate it when the Xmas “deal” is more expensive than just eating off the regular menu...

The traditional Christmas dinner menu is considerably more expensive. They have given me these options to be able to offer a sub £20 3 course deal.
