Christmas Meal -  Book Now!

Caroline is organising this year's Christmas meal. It will be taking place at Vincent's in Sketty and the menu is included below. The menu really speaks for itself and you can tell that this is a classy joint (would we expect anything less from Caroline?). To reserve a place you'll need to pay a £10 deposit. You can Caroline on 07971018664 to get on the guest list for this most special of evenings! Please note that we are limited to 22 places and we are expecting it to fill up (as long as the Credit Crunch hasn't bitten TT members too hard!), so places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
