Half-term madness

Well hats off to the number eighteen team, they’ve only gone and done it again!!! We’ve had a fabulous review from the Monmouthshire County Life magazine. “For a moment you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in a chic city side-street, […] and immediately you realise this isn’t the kind of place content to be discussed in the same breath as more traditional ‘country’ restaurants.” Whoop whoop… we are all just so chuffed! They continued along the same lines to compliment the chefs and the tantalisingly tasty food served up in our brasserie. Buzzing from this glowing report… we’ve decided to challenge ourselves again.
Faced with the economic downturn that has plagued everyone for the past couple of years, and its apparent wish to stay like so for the foreseeable future, we have decided to hit the ‘hard times’ head on, by launching an economical, yet delicious night café . Not only does our new offering maintain the concept of our brand, by continuing to pursue our goals to produce local, fresh, seasonal produce, but we are doing it in a way that suits all our budgets. Pop on down to the night café to sample our 3-course menu for only £18. Or if you prefer, you could just have a nibble…. With starters ALL sitting at £4.50, Puds £4.50 – why wouldn’t you?! It’s a great opportunity to get together with a group of friends, have a good catch-up, with a sneaky glass of wine, or a cheeky cocktail… and we even cater for the drivers of the evening, with a virgin cocktail, so aptly named ‘dedicated driver’! Pop along to say hello, check out this new concept… and experience the joy that comes with not having spanked loads of cash on a 3-course supper!
But… more immediately, we are having a Hallowe’en party this Saturday night… sweetie treats for kids, some interesting drinks too! Pop along, and if you book your table before 7.30pm, we’ll even give you 15% off! But you need to hurry… not many tables left!
Other news on the horizon… keep your eyes peeled and ears wide open – our cellar bar is opening in the next couple of weeks. If you fancy somewhere to have a quiet drink after a long day in the office… or maybe a cosy spot for a snuggle and smooch… or maybe you just need a good chin-wag with an old buddy – this bar will definitely suit you!
So folks – that’s all the news from the number eighteen team at the moment…. We are all geared up and ready to rock ‘n’ roll for our new night café , our cellar bar, and we have our Christmas treats all ready for those bigger party groups in our brasserie! Give us a buzz on 01873 810337, and we’ll make your party planning a whole lot easier! Looking forward to seeing you all here – Big love from number eighteen xxx
