Happy Spring time...

Hello All….
Sorry it’s taken so long to get this latest post up, but we’ve just been sooooo busy!!! Valentine’s weekend was a corker for us down at number eighteen – the café was booming, and the brasserie & bar were heaving! It happened to be the same weekend that we launched our new Spring menu in the brasserie – which went down a treat. The energy in the place was intense, and the whole team thrived upon the buzz.
Following on from that, we had a great half-term. There were lots of lovely visitors to the area who came to dine with us time and time again… both in the café and the brasserie. It was also great to see the return of some familiar faces – those who haven’t been around since last half-term. We appreciate your dedication, and as always, it was a pleasure to see you.
The Walking Festival has seen a huge influx to Crickhowell which is just fantastic. We are so glad that the weather has been so good for you all too. Why not relax in the evening by joining us in the brasserie for a bite to eat, and a chilled glass of wine?! Failing that, if you need a ‘pick-me-up’ in the morning, why not pop to the café for a delicious coffee to waken those sleepy eyes? The café has now launched its Spring menu 2011 too, so pop in to check it out.
At the end of February, we celebrated the second of our Ladies nights. It was fantastic. We had an almost full house, and lots of smiling ladies leaving at the end of the night. Some of these fabulous ladies even posted a note of thanks on our facebook page – check it out: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Number-18-Cafe-Brasserie/113519302010388
So, we will of course be doing this once again at the end of March – book your tables quickly folks, so you avoid disappointment.
Other events in March – we are running a cultural evening in collaboration with Bookish on March 17th. It will be a poetry evening, with local poet Paul Henry as the guest of honour. The evening will commence at 6pm, with drinks available in our bar. We will hopefully seat the audience by 6.55pm, ready for the reading to being at 7pm. It will consist of two 20 minute readings with a break in the middle, and everybody is welcome to stay for dinner afterwards. It would be a great way to finish the evening off… don’t you think? Get in touch with Emma at Bookish for your tickets for the evening, or contact Marj at number eighteen if you’d like to book a table.
The brasserie has built some great momentum with the new Sunday Lunch which has been in operation since January 2011. We are delighted to see so many of you have come down to support us. It really is a great way to spend Sunday afternoon – and we serve it right up to 4pm… Why wouldn’t you???
I think, for the moment, that’s all the news to report…. We’ve got some plans in place for a few surprises throughout 2011, so watch this space, and keep some room in your diaries – you won’t want to miss out! We hope that you are all well, and seeing the light appear after the gloomy wet Winter. Onwards and upwards to a beautiful Spring.
Give us a call if you just want to say hello… Or to book your table in the restaurant on 01873 810337.
Big love from all at number eighteen x
