Pre Xmas meal with ex work colleagues, about 14 of us, many of a certain age!
Very well organised. Despite the number of people pouring in, we were quickly directed to our table. We’d booked the drink package so our organiser issued us with our wrist bands, entitling us to more or less anything except Prosecco and shots. As a non drinker, I didn’t fair so well and my request for apple juice was received with surprise and took a while to locate!
Food is surprisingly good and this is the first time I’ve ordered pate and received enough bread to go with it! We were all served quickly and together. Portions substantial, I didn’t have dessert and I don’t think there were many takers.
Disco after eating. Only disappointment was that the entertainment didn’t appear until around 10.45 by which time I was yawning and wondering if I could creep away! Group was Jersey Boys sound-alikes, sorry can’t remember name but they were extremely good.
Do I recommend? Yes but keep in mind this type of event probably wouldn’t work for a group of less than about 8.
Will I go back? Well I’m not sure. For me the £20 drink package wasn’t a good deal for two apple juices and everyone in the party has to take it, not understandably allowed for one person to drop out.
