Drinking

Being in the middle of nowhere presents us with somewhat of a problem with drinks. Of course there will be welcome cocktails, bubbly after the ceremony and wine/beer with the meal but what to do after (especially with the amount some of you drink!)? We can’t afford a free bar all night and we looked at bringing in a firm for a cash bar but the bar prices are way too high!

We came up with one solution which we hope is ok by everyone. Bring your own wine, bottled beer, cans, alcopops or whatever it is you drink.

However, bottled beer might be a bit warm and cans can be a bit rubbish. Second solution: We are planning to buy in barrels of cask ale and cider from a Scottish brewery- to be named soon! We can’t afford to have a free bar all night but we thought we could subsidise the bar and sell the beer to you at £1 pint.

That way we get great ale, cold, on tap and cheap! Does this sound ok?

We will soon be giving a list of the possible beers. We need feedback so we don’t over or under order. (John says as if over ordering would be a problem!)Watch out for our next beer post!



We will be topping you up with wine through the meal so let us know if you drink red or white wine with your meal or if you don’t drink at all of course! We can’t just nip to the corner shop if we run out!



Cocktails
We are hoping to have a cocktail bar running until the drinks or the cocktail waiter runs out!
Please send us your favourite cocktail recipes and we will do our best to include it.

If you have any strange cocktail mixers left over and lurking in a back cupboard any donations would be grateful.

So that's the drink situation. Cheers!
