Those that were there will understand our story title!  It rained hard but did not stop the farmers around Dartmouth coming to show their animals, and fine specimens they were too!

2.  The Hangover this evening (Thursday)

It's party time at The Guildhall on Thursday 10th December.

Escape the rain and gloom and join us for some festive fun, sumptuous nibbles, mulled wine, mince pies and a film to make you laugh. Our film is The Hangover- two days before his wedding, Doug and his three friends drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out stag party they'll never forget. But, in fact, when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning, they can't remember a thing.  For some reason, they find a tiger in the bathroom and a six-month-old baby in the closet of their suite at Caesars Palace. The one thing they can't find is Doug. With no clue as to what transpired and little time to spare, the trio must retrace their hazy steps and all their bad decisions in order to figure out where things went wrong and hopefully get Doug back to L.A. in time to walk down the aisle.

Sounds like a normal Sunday morning in Dartmouth to me!  One of the funniest films of the year - don't miss it!

Our door open at 7.15 - the film to be shown at 8pm approx.
Guest tickets are available from The Windjammer from 6.45 - 7.10 - price £5.00 to include party food.

3.   Christmas Wines @ Browns

James Brown reports:  We've been thinking about some lovely wines that would really suit the big Christmas and New Year meals, all those parties, visiting friends and even wine as a present!  Why not drop by to Browns and talk to James, Christof or Robin over a coffee and let us talk you through what we think you should be drinking! Remember, if you have a Browns card you only pay the case bottle price even if you only buy one bottle. All the prices quoted in this newsletter are our case bottle price.  It's party season so what about a nice fizz. Phillippe Herard make lovely champagne but their cheaper Blanc de Blancs is a cracker. A method champagne wine it is crisp, with good balance and rich flavours. Our price is £7.50 per bottle.

Our new house white from Spain is a delicious easy to drink, classic Viura. A perfect aperitif wine and at £5.45, great value. Our final recommendation is now our most popular wine on the bar. Col de L'Orb is from the sunny Languedoc and is smooth and quaffable. At £6.65 a little more expensive but it's worth it!  Drop into Browns Hotel and have a look?
