This years Christmas do is being held at The Kings Head Hotel 18 Old Market Street Usk, NP15 1AL on 3rd December.
There are no firms plans as yet other than a table is booked (provisionally for 20 people) and all 8 bedrooms (4 double and 4 twin) are being held in my name until 16th October.
I'm waiting for a menu to be emailed to me, but there is usually a set Christmas menu with 4 choices for each of the 3 courses and the food is spectacular (and plentiful is an understatement!). I have stayed here myself before and can guarantee a better standard of accommodation than last years hotel of choice (not that it could get much worse from what I heard!). The 3 course dinner is usually around £23 or so.
Rooms are as priced on the website - £49.95 for single, double £69 and twin £74 - all of which include breakfast.

Being held on the same weekend is the annual Usk Christmas Market which is always worth a couple of hours browsing.

No problem Oz, room reserved They've not asked for deposits, they've just asked that we cancel any unrequired rooms at least 48 hours in advance due to it being Christmas market weekend in Usk and the likelyhood that they can re-book them. Rooms filling up - only 2 twins left available. 1. Rob & Judith Preece 2. Dale & Nette Chapman 3. Chris Hathway 4. Verity & Crispin 5. Phil & Lesley 6. Oz & Louise 7. 8. Still plenty of space for anyone wishing to come along for the evening's festivities without the overnight stop. Shame you can't make it John, I know Clara has other arrangements that weekend too, as does Tony and a few others .. December is always difficult with things clashing whether it be work of other Christams do's etc. Phil - I saw your post on FB even if you couldn't find it again lol!

Hi all, I've had the menu through from the pub for the Christmas Do now - I'm not sure if this will work, but I'm hoping you should be able to click on the PDF file to load it up. It's a 3 course set menu with 4 choices of each course for £24 each. Could you all make your choices known to me by Sat 27th Nov please and send a £10 per person deposit via Paypal to jancarter1603@gmail.com. If you've not got paypal, PM me and I'll send my bank details so you can do it as a transfer instead.

Thanks Paul and Oz, deposits received with thanks and orders noted (Not sure if you saw my reply on FB the other day Phil, but thanks also for your deposit and orders). Sorry you're not able to make it Mod, Christmas do's have a habit of clashing with each other however well spread out we'd prefer them to be! :/
