Christmas Meal 2003

In true tradition the Scogui Christmas meal, an evening consisting of lots of beer/wine/cider and a nice big Christmas dinner – although I’m not quite sure about the roast beef option as a ‘Christmas’ dinner but there you go, maybe I’m becoming a traditionalist in my old age :S

The meal this year was situated in the Warwick Arms – good venue, miles away for all the poor people who decided to walk! Thankfully we decided on a spot of pre-dinner sherry drinking and a nice taxi ride to the pub (although the taxi firm turned out to be somewhat useless). More drinks then followed and a damn good meal, with all the trimmings. An interesting game of musical chairs was played at the tables between courses (without the music) – thus keeping track of your drinks and spoon was a tricky business.

With hardly any room left for desert we soldiered on… The deserts consisted of a choice of Traditional Christmas Pudding, Chocolate Fudge Cake and Mulled Wine Terrine. From the photos it is clear to see we were full on roast turkey – playing with cracker toys and cream took over. Some lovely pictures on the photos page – who’s the scary man in the photo with a ring through his nose and Elyot – complete with cream and a pink party hat!

After the meal and several more drinks, you spotting the theme to this now, was a short journey back to the union for yet more drinks and some dancing to work off that dinner.
