The Cinema Bookshop Christmas party was held this year in the upper room of the Three Tuns, which automatically made it better than last year, when we all sat in the big office at the Cinema as far away from each other as possible, and ate takeaway deep fried turkey from Chapters!
There was a slight mix-up in the organisation, when the menu that was downloaded for us to pre-order turned out to be for the Three Tuns in Lichfield, not the Three Tuns in Hay! (it was a very interesting menu, too - but a bit far to go just for a meal!). However, the mistake was discovered in time for us to pre-order from the right menu, which was also very good - I had the turkey, and everyone who had the brisket said how delicious it was.
As we were upstairs, we only saw the staff all evening, so we felt pretty safe as far as Covid precautions were concerned. There was another, bigger party, downstairs at the back, and drinkers in the front bar. One of my colleagues had been pinged on her phone, so was self-isolating, and another doesn't do eating out, so there were only enough of us to sit round one table. When I first joined the Cinema and we had our Christmas party, with Leon Morelli presiding at the top table, we filled that same room at the Three Tuns.
