METEORS AND MULLED WINE

OKAY,

SO STAR GAZING MAY NOT BE EVERY ONES CUP OF TEA, BUT WHEN YOU ARE GUARANTEED A STARLIT SPECTACULAR OF METEORIC PROPORTIONS EVEN THE MOST HARDENED CYNIC HAS TO ADMIT THAT STIFF NECK IS PROBABLY WORTH IT. AND WHEN YOU HAVE A GLASS FULL OF MUCKRACH'S HOME MADE MULLED WINE IN YOUR MIT, EVEN THE MOST BITTER OF DECEMBER EVENINGS WILL SEEM SWEET.
SO, ON THE WEEKEND OF THE 12TH - 14TH OF DECEMBER, IN HONOUR OF THE GEMINID METEOR SHOWER, MUCKRACH IS KEEN TO WELCOME ALL FOR SOME THREE EVENINGS OF MEREORS AND MULLED WINE. OUR EVENING MENU WILL BE KEEPING IN MIND THE BEST WAY TO WARM US FROM THE INSIDE, OUR HEATED TERRACE WILL BE KEEPING THE CHILL AT BAY, AND THE MULLED WINE, HOT TODDIES AND MINCE PIES MIGHT JUST ADD A LITTLE GLOW TO THE LIGHT DISPLAY.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.

KINDEST REGARDS,

DOMINIC
