Title: Xmas party Night
Post by: Will_D on October 30, 2013, 08:01:41 PM
Ok so had a word with the Boro and its no problem for us to have the snug on Friday 6th December.from 7 pm.

Have tentatively mentioned some smoked treats and finger food type buffet. Final details/menu/proce wil be sorted later (TBD)

Say €10 - 15 a head?

Partners are more than welcome as are visitors from other groups who have been out to us (thinking Shane/Dempsey/CH/Shinny) also the bar staff who look after us and won't be working that night will be invited for some tasters.

Would suggest some beers from say 6% upwards and naturally I know someone who makes port!

Called over today but no managers to talk to. Am free tomorrow so will try to sort out the menu.

As mentioned at the last meet amd looking at about €10 a head ( max 15 - as a 3 course meal there is only 17-50)

Suggested menu:

Smoked meat of some sort from their smoker
Polish Sausage
Something like Boerworst (or anything a bit S. African)

Couple of Decent cheeses

Decent breads; Rye/black/soda bread

viz a viz beer: This is not a big HB tasting evenning - however anyone with something over about 8% should bring that along. I will bring some ports!

Also as we are home brewers if anyone has some real delicacies from there native country lets slip them in as well.

BTW: They now have McGargles Pilsner on draught (had a pint today - lovely stuff). Also 3 McGargles in bottles plus some more new bottles.

And as we know Rebel Red is on tap!

They are really expanding the craft beer range in NC Dub!!

Can order proper polish sausage and sourdough bread if needed.
White, spelt, rye, brown, oat, you name it :) -= http://tartine.ie/ =-
Just tell me how many loafs we need.
Title: Re: Xmas party Night
Post by: Partridge9 on November 28, 2013, 08:52:10 PM
Sounds great !

So whats the procedure Will - if we buy tasty Polish food ?
Title: Re: Xmas party Night
Post by: Will_D on November 28, 2013, 09:28:22 PM
No idea James.

I will try to establish a base menu at about a tenner a head with the Boro.

If someone brings in a bit of home brewed/(bought) sausage/pickel/chutney/why?  then so be it!

Title: Re: Xmas party Night
Post by: Jacob on November 28, 2013, 09:38:17 PM
So Will, is it them who'll order everything?

Am going over luch-time to discuss!
Title: Re: Xmas party Night
Post by: Will_D on November 29, 2013, 03:42:36 PM
OK,

Its €10 a head:

Smoked Ribs
Smoked Craft Irish Sausages
Polish sausage
Chef will try and find something South African inspired

Irish craft cheeses

Dark rye/black bread
Irish Soda Bread.

If anyone wants to bring some other little treats then I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem if done with our usual discretion!

Just labelling up the RIS, it seemed ok when I bottled it - I hope the carbonation isnt too low.

Should be blast - we should be there around 19:15
Title: Re: Xmas party Night
Post by: nigel_c on December 05, 2013, 09:29:15 PM
Low carbonation is prob perfect. Should go lovely with some nice smoked meats.
Looking forward to it.
Hope everyone have their Christmas jumpers dug out for tomorrow ;)

See Attachment for Labels - there is only about 7ish litres in bottles - but should be enough for a small 'quaffable' glass each.

Hi Bren,

You and Kellie are our guests  :)

Idea is to put some wonga throught the tills!

Phone me tomorrow re. Propane tanks ( SMS sent )
