Christmas/ New Year entertainment

[blue]

Portuguese traditional Christmas fare is boiled goat & cabbage, personally I'd rather have our roast turkey & all the trimmings.

Last year A Vela offered a choice of menu & it was delicious, this is for New Years Eve not Christmas, we're booked for this year so hope it's as good.

EMM if you are referring to Kerry Katona she is not a scouser.
Colleen Nolan a nearly Scouser? Just a matter of some 56 miles separates Liverpool and Blackpool !
You can come round to ours Pato, proper traditional Christmas food and crackers

[EMM]

If she sounds like a scouser, she is a scouser to us effete southerners.

Any more news on A Vela NYE menu/drinks? I have emailed them without success!

My friend Sandy went by AVela last week and she said it was closed up with a note saying closed for holidays,not sure when it opens again?? May need to try somewhere else. Any update on where else will be open??

If the current thunder, lightning and torrential rain continues - Noah's Ark will need to be available

[Geoff]

I think quite a few places close in November/December , but then reopen for Christmas/New Year...so fingers crossed.

I hope so, we've already booked!

[Geoff]

Hi Blue
If you have booked, do you know what menu/drinks are?
Geoff

Sorry I'm afraid not, a friend who we went with last year has booked the table, eight of us or so are going. We booked really going on last years menu & price. I will investigate further but off to UK on Thursday (weather permitting) for a week.

Hi
Any more news on A Vela please?

[Geoff]

Well, we never got to CVO for NYE in the end, as Sue was ill on the night before our flight took off. What did we end up missing please?

A great night in the 'new' Primavera

oh? they're back open? what goes on in there?

[shanagarry]

There is no comparison with the previous Primavera - it has been completely renovated in the modern sense and has a much improved ambience. It is spacious and airy with a lot of all-round terrace

It is being run by Domingos - previously the co-owner of Villa Medici with Paulo back as the Maitre D and his team - its a delight. The menu is the trattoria style and on NYE it was cleverly spaced out to provide 4 courses and made for a very enjoyable evening
