Hi All,
I've been a bit quiet here this year, but have approached a local pub to enquire about a Christmas get together.
The Kings Arms Otterton has 15 rooms, but I don't know how many are currently booked to date, and they have a Christmas Menu or Standard.
They have offered a special room rate, if I can fill a minimum of 5 rooms, of £20 off per room. So, £65 for a standard double and £85 for the others.
There are other B&B's a short drive away in East Budleigh, Budleigh Salterton and Newton Poppleford and there's also Ladram Bay Holiday Park nearby, but it's a bit of a trek from Otterton.
I only have two dates available, Sat 24th Nov or Sat 22 Dec, subject to room availability. I've asked the pub to let me know how many rooms they have available and, if they're mostly booked on those nights and there's enough interest, i'll look to organise it for next year, or I can organise a weekday.
I have pasted both menu's below as you can choose from one or the other, but you won't be able to mix dishes i.e. starter and pudding from the normal menu and a main from the xmas menu.
So, would anyone like me to get this up and running?
