Last week at number eighteen saw the beginning of what looks to be a very promising future for ‘Ladies night’ at the brasserie. We had a very busy debut evening for the gals about town... plenty of cocktails were had! Food went down a treat, with lots of return bookings for February 24th – Ladies Night 2. As a result, we have decided to definitely make this a monthly event. So, don’t worry ladies, all is not lost if you missed January’s special night, plenty more to follow. Call us on 01873 810337 to book your table.
For the gents around town.... fear not, we’ve got our thinking caps on and we’re working on a boys night too!!! Keep your eyes peeled for more information. As soon as it’s been finalised, it’ll be posted on here, and on our website – www.number-eighteen.com. It’s going to have to match ladies night – we don’t want either side let down!
Sunday Lunch has also picked up momentum, and this Sunday we almost had a full house. It was great to see families, couples, friends – all pop in for a coffee, and leave with full tummies and plenty of flattering compliments regarding the brasserie performance. Some have even booked to come back next week!!! If you don’t believe us, pop down for yourself to sample the homely deliciousness that is, the number eighteen Sunday lunch. 12noon – 4pm! Even if you don’t fancy having roast dinner, there are plenty other options available – the FULL brasserie menu in fact. So don’t miss out, pop down for a feast!
This week, number eighteen café has launch its new School Lunch campaign. We are hoping that this will satisfy both the hungry mouths of our young townsfolk, but also the pockets of their giving parents. For just £2.50, they have a choice of sandwiches, soup, or pizza/sausage rolls. Made in house at number eighteen, and maintaining the emphasis on fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced, the school lunch is a ‘one to watch’. We even throw in a drink for free.... in these tough economic times, who wouldn’t want that?! Unfortunately parents, this one is just for the kids – a bit of a ‘PGL’ with regard to lunch!
A date for the diaries..... not long left now until Valentine’s Day.... For all you romantics out there, or just if you fancy eating out that weekend, the brasserie is doing a special, limited offer on drinks the WHOLE weekend leading up to (and including) Valentine’s Day. Full a la carte menu available – which I might add is our brand new Spring Menu 2011. But in addition to this tasty new treat in store, number eighteen will pay the VAT on all your drinks! So that means 20% off ALL your drinks for Friday 11th, Saturday 12th, and Monday 14th February. Why wouldn’t you.. pop on down!?
I think that’s all the news for this week. Being a big rugby fan, I would like to emphasise the fact that the internationals are fast approaching – why not pop to number eighteen for a relaxing drink post match this weekend! The bar is cosy, relaxing, and very welcoming – even if commiserations are in store! Fingers crossed, it’ll be celebrations all round! And if you’re hungry, we’re still doing Steak’n’beer night on Fridays, so pop down for a bite to eat, a beer (or glass of wine), and a good post-match de-brief... analysing where it all needs improving!
Hopefully see you soon... the team eagerly awaits your visit! Until next time, big love all xx

Happy Thursday!!!
Happy Thursday All!!!!!
Just to give you a quick update of life here at number eighteen....
January has seen the launch of our Sunday lunch, which has been hugely successful! Sunday lunch is a brasserie offering, which runs in the upstairs restaurant from 12noon until 4pm every Sunday now for the foreseeable future! Last Sunday we almost had a full house which was fantastic. But, fear not, you don’t just have to have Sunday roast for dinner – the FULL brasserie menu is available too – and if you’re not feeling super hungry, why not try one of our delicious starters for a quick bite – or even a junior 18 portion!
As well as this new venture, number eighteen brasserie & bar have launched the New Year calendar with the promotion of our very first Ladies Night, which will take place on Thursday 27th January. This is set to become a monthly feature in the restaurant, so hurry up ladies and book those tables quick – January is already 75% booked, so not many tables left. The Ladies Night offers a set menu to all ladies, with 2 courses going for £15.95, and 3 courses for £21.95. In addition, because we have a swanky new bar that we just love to see spilling over with people, we are offering you 15% off ALL cocktails ALL night! Why wouldn’t you???? So even if you’re not that hungry, but fancy a good night out with your girlfriends, pop down for a chinwag and a cheeky Cosmopolitan – Nash will be happy to see your smiling faces, and he’ll be even happier to serve you your favourite tipple!
The café saw an incredible first week in January! But with schools back to the normal routine, and our regulars all back at work, it’s steadily ticking over for the moment. However, that’s not to say that they’re having an easy ride.... We’re up to our eyes with work regarding our outside catering. We have take-away buffets flying out of the kitchen, which therefore means our chefs are kept on their toes, and the office staff promptly following at the heel, kept busy organising! In addition to this, number eighteen café has recently embarked upon a more extensive retail offering. Did you know that you can now pre-order cakes for special occasions?! Or even just because you fancy having a great tasty cake for pudding that night??? Please don’t hesitate to ask the friendly staff for further details.... all we ask is if it’s for a special occasion, therefore if the cake requires particular decoration, we need about a weeks’ notice to get it all done!
Furthermore, due to the success of our festive hampers, number eighteen café manager Gaby, has decided to keep this element of retail available for you! Should you require that ‘different’ kind of gift for someone, or a gift for an occasion, or just to cheer someone up, Gaby is happy to arrange the hamper that suits you! Hampers therefore are not specific set prices, but rather arranged to suit your needs. This means, more flexibility, and less fuss... and NO STRESS for you!!!
To finish, I would like to remind you all that the Steak’n’beer night is staying at the brasserie! Friday nights have been fabulous for the last couple of weeks.... it’s great to see happy smiling faces, enjoying the local produce, in our great contemporary surroundings. So grab your coats on Friday evening, from 6pm, pop in for your steak for £9.95 per person! BARGAIN!!!
That’s all for now folks... we hope you’re all doing well, and look forward to seeing you here very soon! Big love all xxxx

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year to all from the team at number eighteen. What a Christmas we’ve had!!! It’s been a hectic few weeks down in the heart of Crickhowell throughout December. Despite the snow, our diligent customers still managed to make time for a quick coffee in the café, and a quick bite in the brasserie. On top of that, some even found a spare half an hour for a swift cocktail pre-dinner.
New Year’s Eve was a huge success both in the café and the brasserie & bar. During the day, the team barely hit the ground... they were running around all day enjoying the buzz from the visitors and locals alike. Plenty of people looking for warmth, and good food, and they all left with huge smiles on their faces.
For the brasserie, it was our debut New Year’s Eve, and I think it was a roaring success. The guests started arriving from 6.30pm..... after a cheeky aperitif in our cellar bar, they proceeded to the restaurant for a tantalisingly tasty 3 or 4 course meal. With smiles on all their faces, I was sure we’d made a success of the evening. From beginning to end, it was full of fun and festivities for all involved. As a team, we thoroughly enjoyed working the evening – and at 11.55pm we headed out onto the high street so ring in the New Year with all of Crickhowell’s party-goers. Fireworks on the street, and a glass of bubbly in hand, our guests and staff had a ball! A huge thanks to all who came, it was a pleasure to have had your company!
It must be said that through the busy weeks, it has been great to have our seasonal staff back! Thanks so much to Nonnie, Kate, Robyn, Tom, Alex, and Gethin for their return to the force. I addition, I must add a huge thanks to Polly – who has always been a great support to the core team in the café. The whole team has worked like a well-oiled machine, and for that I am very grateful, and inspired.
So...... what’s in store for 2011???? Well... we’ve decided to kick-start the year by upping the offering in the café. As of the 9th January, we will not only be offering the Sunday brunch till 12noon in the café, but from 12 noon, we will be giving you the chance to try our Sunday lunch offering. BRAND NEW to the concept, but ever endorsing our brand, who we are and what we stand for, the Sunday lunch will be locally sourced, seasonal & fresh! Why wouldn’t you????
The brasserie is also upping the game play, and as of Friday 7th January, you will be able book your table between 6-8pm, every Friday, and benefit from a ‘steak ‘n’ beer’, or glass of wine, for JUST £9.95! Why wouldn’t you?? We look forward to your visit.... book your table now on 01873 810337.
Our bar will, of course, be open to both compliment our brasserie offering, but also to satisfy the thirst of any passer-by who would like to sample our delightful cocktail menu. Be very aware of the Lynchburg lemonade...... it has a tendency to leave you with a contagious giggle.
On all other fronts, although tired from the busy few weeks, the team is ploughing on with their ideas for the future. Inspired by the success of our hampers and truffle sales over the festive period, number eighteen is continuing with the retail side of the operation. So, you’ll be delighted to hear that you can still purchase our coffee.. jams... truffles... and anything else you fancy! We are very accommodating and will endeavour to meet your needs.
So folks, I think that’s all I need to fill you in on..... A VERY VERY Happy New Year to you all. We at number eighteen are very much looking forward to seeing you all very soon. Big love all xxxxx
