Autumn Menu Launch

So folks, it’s getting to that time of year when the summer buzz is over and we all have to get back into the swing of things…. ‘back to school’… ‘back to work’… but we must not forget that good food is available all year long!!! number eighteen brasserie & café have launched their Autumn 2010 menus over the last week. The café menu maintains the popular choices of sandwiches, paninis, baps etc, but there are a few additions to the menu this year, as well as a comprehensive list of specials available on a daily basis. The brasserie on the other hand has changed most of its menu – our steaks and burgers will remain a constant of our offering, but we’ve branched out this season to extend the taste buds of all our diners. Whilst we are using a lot of our own home grown produce, we are still reliant upon the great fresh, local produce that is delivered daily to our doorstep. Check our www.number-eighteen.com for a better look at the new menus in detail.
After Green Man this year, we were all slightly exhausted – with an average of 250 visitors a day for the month of August, the number eighteen had worked flat-out for the busiest weeks of the year so far. Nonnie, one of our part-timers, who works during her university breaks, won ‘employee of the month’ for August. She was delighted, as were all her colleagues. It was a thoroughly deserved win, for all her effort, unfailing flexibility, and her incredible impact on customer service. Good luck back at university Nonnie, we look forward to having you back at Christmas.
So September has hit, and with the usual ‘back to school’ chaos, comes some reorganisation at number eighteen. We have to say farewell to a number of brilliant team members – Alex, Tom, Henry, Kate, Robyn. But they are finally flying from the nest and heading off to begin their own careers. We wish them every success, and look forward to hearing about these successes when they come back to visit. We also need to bid farewell to dear Alice, who ‘can’t be asked’ on a regular basis, but who’s lovely, and will be terribly missed as she returns to Prague to finish her Masters degree. We have however, recruited some absolute gems to step into the shoes of these leavers. Four new part-time members of staff have joined the number eighteen team, to support the steadfast backbone number eighteen team. Kate, Laura, Sophie, & Fiona are all very welcome to the team – we look forward to you all meeting them.
So folks, busy times here at the café & brasserie – lots of team shake-ups, lots of change on the horizon, but as ever we are committed to providing the high standard to which you, the customers, have now become accustomed. Keep your eyes peeled for information regarding the upcoming promotions at number eighteen. This week it’s ‘coffee and cupcake’ week in the café – maybe you could chance a ‘cocktail & cocktail’ in the brasserie. But there are plenty more events in store…. We have live music lined up for 16th, 30th Sept, & 14th, 28th Oct from local artist Jim Ramsey, who joins us with a 2 hour acoustic set. Pop along to check it out for yourself – even if you don’t fancy a meal, just a few drinks & nibbles.
Anyhow, until next time, keep checking us out on facebook & twitter, and check our website www.number-eighteen.com for a more detailed look at our menus, and a regular update on promotions.
