Wokingham Christmas meal 2010

[Chas25]

As much as it pains me to start thinking about Christmas when the summer has only just drawn to a close it takes a bit of planning so....

My starter for 10

Venue: Casa Dei Cesari, Yatelay
Website: www.casadeicesari.co.uk

Date: Wednesday 8th December 2010

Menu:
Starters
Homemade Minestrone soup (v)
Melon, Mango, Prawns and Cape Gooseberries
Crab & Avocado salad
Wild Mushroom ravioli

Mains
Medallions of Beef Fillet with Bearnaise sauce
Fillet of Salmon with Basil & Pistachio Butter
Turkey with all the trimmings
Risotto Con Legumi - Seasonal Vegetable Risotto

Desserts
Homemade Tiramisu
Fresh fruit salad & cream
Chocolate fudge cake
Christmas Pudding with Brandy sauce

Coffee & Mince Pies

Price is shown as £25.95 +10% service charge, although I'm hoping they'll do a deal given the size of the group

For those who have to travel there are rooms available, I understand their Christmas rates are from £60 for a single and £75 for twin/double, both inc Breakfast.

Actions required:
Reply here with a yes and number of people coming and ideally your/their menu choice
Contact the hotel directly if you want to book a room
Get a deposit to me by 15th November
Drop me a PM if you want:
a) address details to send a cheque or
b) bank details for a bank transfer
Happy to collect cash at the November Wokingham meet.

Of course if nobody likes the date/venue i'll get back in me box and leave it for someone else to arrange

Cheers
Charlie

Thanks Chas - and thanks for the PM to remind me to look here.

This sounds fun
I think Mary and I would be up for it.
If its on, we would probably book a room and then we would be ok for drinking.

Lets see how many would be up for it - but you can mark us down for two.

Havent seen you guys for a while now anyway.

Chas

I've just called the Casa Del Cesari to book a room.
I didnt book anything yet because they say if you can firm things up, they will give us a "package" discount.
Sounds good
No problem with rooms at the moment so the date looks good as well.

Mike

 

[Chas25]

Hi Mike,

We went to the resturant to work out the package last night, but unfortunately the manager wasn't about. They have my details and I'm expecting a call back this morning so hopefully I will post the confirmed details a bit later today

Right, Booking is now confirmed, the menu is as per the first post on this thread and will be £25 per head.

The table is booked for 8pm but I would suggest getting there for 7:30 for a drink before hand.

Rooms are available at their discounted weekend rate of £75 for a twin/double on a B&B basis please call 01252 873275 to book quoting "Boat Club" any issues ask to speak to the manager Ian Dougan or contact me.

I need to confirm numbers by the 15th November, so please let me know if you would like to come and add the following to allow me to keep track:

Charlie & Carol 2
Mike & Mary 4
Andy & Jane 6
Roger & Jane 8
Kirstie and Tim 10
Sarah and Peter 12
Rick & Mandy 14

Finally, please get a £5 deposit per person to me as soon as possible either by:
Cheque: Please PM me for my address
Bank transfer: Please PM me for account details
Cash: at the November forum meet (or earlier if our paths cross!)

Hopefully I've covered everything, but if anyone has questions let me know.

Regards
Charlie

Andy & Sarah 6

Who is sarah? Best put Jane eh.Unless there is another Andy.

 

[Pinnacle]

Who is sarah? Best put Jane eh.Unless there is another Andy.

Well......she could either be my SWMBO, or Chas25 is trying to set you up with someone else!

More likely explaination is that Chas25 has c*cked it up!

Well I could try and come up with an excuse but I think Pinnacle has somewhat hit the nail on the head

Andy and Jane, my appologies, its now corrected.
