srry you can't make it.
i'll miss those festive blue cheeks and little red nose

..

Err, where did that go?

After much searching round and many phone calls I have found us a nice place which is actually the editors choice from the local newspaper food reviews

http://www.theconistonhotel.com/dining.php

I need to confirm numbers at the beginning of next week.

Menu is their 'select' menu & will be £24.50 (ish) for 3 courses + extras. We need to select in advance.

I'm going to book to eat around 8.00pm ( if anyone feels it should be earlier let me know )

I'll post up menus once i get them

Looks

There is the 'signature' menu on their website for the same price James, is the 'select' on e different?

8pm fine for us and babysitter sorted

It is their signature menu, but I've been told its is different to the one on their website. The chef is preparing a new one as we speak, which is getting emailed over to me.

BTW, I believe this place is where the Land Rover Experience bases itself & quite a few of the classic car rallies go through the grounds.

Additionally, for anyone thats interested in MG's and their racing history, I'll have details of a talk on that subject which is taking place on 31st Jan 2008 in my village
