Its true , can you adam and eve it! Most of us havent been away with our bucket and spade yet. Im still longing for a bit of a frolic on a sandy dune in la belle france ..if it ever stops raining that is.
But onto my doormat this afternoon drops the Dover Marina Hotels Christmas Menu. Thats a definite first...no flies on them..the early bird catches the worm..no use watching paint dry etc etc.
I was in the hotel the other day again and very nice it is too, so it will make a striking venue for a fine christmas do. Only for Tory Grandees and Champagne Socialsts though, as on christmas day it rattles in at £85 per person..although I have to say the menu looks terrific.
There looks to be about 6 courses, but essentially four central courses, and all with a little light mozart tinkling away on the side. Main course is very tempting..after your wild boar starter you can select..
Roast thyme infused Duck presented in Armagnac
or
Roast Norfolk Turkey with wild chestnut and cognac stuffing
or
Fillet of Beef Stephaney with stilton and hollandaise gratin
or
Lanqoustine Thermador on a bed of angel hair rice
oooh I say..mouth watering isnt it. They have other packages for other nights too but I just thought I would leave it with the Christmas day one...now where's me bucket and spade..
