When you book a party meal at the Old Deanery from 2 to the max, why not order one of the chef’s chocolate cakes for a surprise finale to the meal. It looks spectacular and makes the guest of honour feel really special. Call for a quote, but remember we need a couple of days notice…

Carols on Christmas Eve

Linda Whitehouse — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 19:52:52 +0000

My Christmas starts here with a lovely candle-lit meal, the log fire in the bar and a performance of carols to enjoy during the evening. This is one of those times I would love to be a customer! We have a few tables left and I’d love it to be full. Too good to miss in my biased opinion….

If you can’t make dinner, we are still taking bookings for lunch – where the carols are recorded only, but the atmosphere is great.

If you can’t make it, I wish you now a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Linda and the team.

Frankly Jazz every Friday night in the bar

Keyboard and a vocalist – with a great swing sound. Relax at the end of your working week in front of a log fire at the Old Deanery. You don’t have to book a meal to enjoy the music; order a drink or a bottle of wine with some olives and crisps. A great atmosphere.
