Do they serve rabbit at Xmas ?

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 8th, 14th or 15th

I am ok on any date.

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 8th, 14th or 15th

Julie & I would love to join you again, unfortunately we can only do the 15th, fingers crossed it’s the most popular choice :worship::worship: Bob

Hi. It would have to be the 15th for us as we away in Devon until the 14th. Love to you see you all again.

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th (most likely) 8th or 14th

I can make all the dates. No preferences?

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th (most likely) 8th or 14th

Brilliant - please add yourself to attendees list

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 8th, 14th or 15th

Ouch!
Prices are ott and so much going on in each dish!
Does the chef thinks he is in master chef (I hate that programme)

The scallops are ruined *goes away to cuddle bunny.....

When do you want choices in by?

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 8th, 14th or 15th

Looks like a lot of carrots are being murdered though.....

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 8th, 14th or 15th

Choices by two weeks beforehand please

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th December

Strange menu for Christmas ( no turkey or indeed rabbit option ) but sure it will be lovely.

Might as well give our choices now rather then leave it and forget!


Julie would like the Chicken Nduja Milanese followed by the Toffee Apple Crumble

I would like the Pan-fried Calves liver followed by the Toffee Apple Crumble please.


Thanks for doing all the hard work (again) Yellowluigi and we look forward to to meeting up with everyone again on the day

Oh nearly forgot, are we having the pre-drive coffee at the same place as last year? We liked it there

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th December

Sorry folks, I won't be able to be there this year. My daughter is away to Australia for a month and cant have the dog, for that day. It's not fair for me to leave him for 5 or 6 hours , home alone !

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th December

May have a change of plan. Have just eaten here and the service and food were good. Menu choice is a little more traditional too, with either https://www.happycheeseashurst.co.uk/pub-menu
or carvery at £12.95.

We have provisionally booked.

Please confirm your preference and we will cancel the one that we do not need!

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th December

We are happy to go to the Happy Cheese and chose something from the menu. Do we need to order before hand or can we chose on the day?

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th December

Julie and I are happy with the new suggestion and will both go with the Carvery please.
How is the parking at the “Happy Cheese”?

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th December

Would you like to bring Maxand have him be doggy sat?
I can check first, but I know someone who would love to look after him.
Message you.

Talked to hubby, he likes the idea of the second option for the carvery

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th December

I prefer the second choice, the new pub. Lets try domething new for new year! Carvery please...

Re: New Forest Xmas Meeting 15th December

Thanks M & K for looking at an alternative option.

Yes, let's go with Ashurst; there are choices on that menu to suit all tastes (and pockets).

Hopefully this will make the event more inclusive and encourage others to join us - new attendees will be made most welcome.
