New Year's Eve 2023/24 - Scotland!

What on earth do you do in Horncliffe on New Years Eve? Head to the pub of course! Especially if you want great company, delicious food, plenty to drink, music and a wonderful atmosphere. Anyone NOT wanting any of those things can stay at home, put their feet up and enjoy the starlit skies we are so blessed with around here in peace! This year after much debate Veg shed decided to share their January feast on New Years Eve - they nearly did this on New Years Day, but realised that hangovers and general festive overload might be a problem, so we pulled out all the stops and laid on a fabulous Scottish themed buffet for Hogmanay in the newly opened Fisher's Arms. As we were serving up in the pub, visitors could also help themselves for a very reasonable £15 per head, so we were all asked to make double portions and very usefully, any leftovers were helpfully frozen for the annual Salmon procession and dinner the following weekend. There was delic

British night

Hosted by Nick and Jane on the 1st April 2024 A delicious spread was assembled by everyone of macaroni cheese, cauliflower cheese, Hairy Bikers Vegetarian Lancashire hot pot, pheasant crumble, cheese & mushroom flan. Drinks included cider and beer and pudding included a classic trifle! Although the meal was very well attended as usual, there were some absent friends: Mo, Frances, Debbie and Livvy were all on a 'Research Trip' to Southern Italy. Contact was made by FaceTime however, and a useful catch up was achieved. Jane and Tabitha took a moment to make the draw for the 200 club...

Sri Lanka December 2023

A truly magical evening at Livvy's home, down by the bridge. There is definitely a sense of excitement when we venture out of the village and I think in early December we were all starting to feel a little bit festive. Livvy chose Sri Lanka because of family connections, as she has a Sri Lankan son-in-law and we all loved the tingly, citrus flavours we discovered creating our various concoctions... And, of course sampling everyone else's! The food was truly amazing... There are two welcoming dining areas in Livvy's home... The kitchen corner... And the dining room... We all swapped around and chatted to everyone... I actually find helping yourself to more is a great way of discovering more people to chat to! No one wanted to go home... But all good things have to come to an end... Cannae wait tae see y'all for Hogmanay! It's Scottish night in the pub!
