For our Christmas lunch this year we are making a return visit to the Cricketers in Duncton. This lovely old village pub has loads of character and provides a warm and comfortable venue for this special occasion. As usual we will have a private room suitably decorated for the time of year. Members will also have the opportunity to make a charitable donation in lieu of sending Christmas cards.
The Christmas menu offers a choice of two or three courses to include coffee and a mince pie priced at £23.95 and £27.95 respectively. The menu is shown below and we are required to pre-order. Please advise your attendance and menu choices by Monday 3rd.December.
