THE HANGING GATE
Christmas Day Menu 2008
Christmas Day is our Flagship day. It is a special day for us and our guests. We accomodate only one sitting, which begins with a champagne and canape reception at 12 noon. This is followed by a visit to Santa for the ladies and the children, from where your family will be escorted to your table to enjoy a leisurely six course meal. Wine flows throughout, as will soft drinks for the children. Liquers are served with coffee. Cigars, to be taken on the pergola by the log fire, are offered to the gentlmen.
We ask our guests to inform us of their Christmas feast choices and settle their bill in advance of the day so that they might simply arrive and enjoy the day with the minimum of inconvenience. Many of our guests return year upon year for this very popular event so please be sure to book your table early.
