The Christmas Dinner will be at the 'Pack Saddle'.
We have arranged, as it was a bit of a rush, to have the Christmas get
together here and it is provisionally booked for the 6th December 7:30 for
sit down at 8pm.
The Menu is below and we will need a xxx£10.00 deposit per person
(non-refundable) for the meeting on the 6th November if you cannot make the
pub meeting on the 6th this will need to be sent direct to us, please phone
for the address, otherwise your seat cannot be kept!!!!!
I will need some sort of guide on meals, so when I send this out please
provide as soon as possible, if you do not let me know that you can attend I
will assume that you will not be attending.

It will take a full month to eat all that stuff ...

The venison and haggis in question are indigenous to the northern banks of the Thames at Pangbourne where they have been roaming since Norman times. They have a symbiotic relationship whereby the haggis live off the droppings of the venisons and they in turn groom the long hair of the sweet little haggises. These sightings have been verified by the many booze cruisers that traverse the upper reaches of the Thames.
