Up....Up.... & Away

It’s been yet another busy couple of weeks for number eighteen. The brasserie has now ‘grown-up’ and we are open for business 7 days a week!!!! Good news for all those hospitality industry workers who don’t get out on weekends… But that aside, we have been plugging plenty of promotions to get our visitors in. Jim Ramsey, a local musician has joined our team for a weekly performance in the brasserie…his music has drawn people in from the bustle of Crickhowell, and is a lovely accompaniment to our delicious menu. We have had a few changes in the team this week…. Dear Gethin has left us for his road trip across the U.S. of A. Having had a brief spell of madness over the weekend, the Tuesday night farewells were rather calm and collected… a quiet drink after work seemed to be the necessary end to a wonderful first couple of months of the brasserie team! And so, life continues…. New staff to recruit, and more shifts to fill … have I mentioned that we are now open 7 DAYS A WEEK!!!!!!!
The coffee shop is booming this week… we’ve seen double the number of people through our doors since the last time we blogged! Great news for all at number eighteen who seem to thrive off this new and exciting busyness. Everyone is getting geared up for ‘festival week’ with exciting new menus to offer from the café and great drinks promotions to keep an eye on in the brasserie! We are even thinking about our future as a taxi service…. I shall reveal more in time!
Jim Ramsey has now become a resident musician with us. He will be playing most Thursday evenings from about 6.30pm..He adds to the great atmosphere down here, and helps to keep smiles on all the team’s faces as he serenades us through the night. Many people have started to join us for drinks and nibbles, and a little listen to the tunes he slips out. Here’s to Thursday 19th August, Jim’s next appearance.
So from all the team here at the moment, a big hello… sad though we all are at Gethin’s departure, we are excited about the new faces to arrive, and the busy times ahead! Pop in to the café to sample some of our culinary delights from the brasserie offering, and whilst you’re here… have a cuppa, and a slice of cake! It’s the summer time… it’s definitely allowed! See you soon folks…number to call us on is 01873 810337. Ta-rah for now x
