Friends,
I trust Santa has been generous to you all !!
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without ......
... The joy of opening presents with family and loved ones.
Inevitably, some of you will have faced the dilemma of “mother-in-law”, over-cooked turkey and burnt Christmas pudding.
The interfering quibbles of family members whom all know better how to cook the festive meal, as they are of course highly qualified after becoming “Nigella Lawson Groupies”.
The children may well have been surprised by their gift of a digital camera or phone, only to meticulously record the entire celebration - gone viral over the internet within minutes - all those embarrassing moments, and unwittingly fake smiles produced upon receipt of another pair of socks!
May these sweet memories last forever, as they are now shared by several million people.
And yet, discounting the presents, we all enjoy this time of the year with our nearest and dearest.
This emotion is evoked none better than by a sing-a-along !
More cork is pulled and after the second glass of port wine, possibly needed to cleanse the pallet, we all believe that our own voices are better than Bing Crosby as we sing along to “White Christmas”.
Here at “The Nest” this Christmas Season, Santa has been good to us as well.
A few days ago we were honoured to receive another award.
During the last year ”TopTable Diner’s Choice” determined a list of honourees after analysing more than 340.000 reviews of approximately 4000 restaurants across the UK, and I am delighted to inform you that The Feathered Nest has been voted as one of the Top 100 Restaurants in the UK.
We have had no time to reflect on this - rather rushed of our feet as of late.
HO HO HO!
Would you believe it, to round of 2013, this morning Santa’s little Elves sprung another surprise - they informed us that, on top of the recent accolades, we have also won the Gold Award for
'Pub Of The Year 2014' in the Cotswolds Tourism Awards. (Announced this morning)
A time to reflect:
We are truly humbled by the accolades and awards we have received over the years.
However, ultimately, it is all about you, our customer, and your satisfaction, that determines the path that we follow.
Therefore, we thank you once again and our staff for making all of this possible.
May 2014 bring you much joy and happiness.
Tony & Amanda
