Next month we combine one

of our delicious Round The

World special menus with

all the romance of St

Valentine’s Day for our

Italian-themed La Festa

Degli Innamorati (the Feast

of Lovers) event.

Running from lunchtime on

Friday, February 13th through to

the evening of Saturday, 14th - St

Valentine’s Day, of course! - we will be

serving a mouthwatering range of Italian

cuisine to those celebrating the most loved-

up 24 hours of the year.

But you don’t have to be Romeo and Juliet to

enjoy our Italian flavours. Bring the kids along

for lunch or an early supper and you’ll find an

array of Valentine’s crafts to keep them occu-

pied. In addition, each child will be given a key

following a tradition originating in Padua, where

children get small golden keys to ward off epi-

lepsy. Did you know that as well as being linked

to lovers and romance, St Valentine is also the

patron saint for epilepsy (also known as St

Valentine’s Malady), fainting and beekeepers?

Please reserve a table for

your chance to enjoy a

taste of Italy - including

homemade pizzas - in

Broad Chalke’s dedi-

cated trattoria/pizzeria

(otherwise known as our

dining room!). It is likely to be

a popular event because as well

as offering guests the opportunity

to savour our themed menu in ro-

mantic surroundings, our St Valentine’s

celebrations culminate with Italian tenor

Michele Ci singing live from 8pm on Satur-

day evening. Check out his amazing reper-

toire at www.michelecirignano.com

Other events to look out for in February include

Shrove Tuesday (Feb 17), when we will add

some pancake specials to our menu.

Looking further ahead, we are planning some

exciting Irish-themed entertainment and food

the following month to mark St Patrick’s Day

on March 17 - Irish stew and Guinness any-

one? And on Mothering Sunday (March 15),

we will have children’s crafts available and a

special gift for dining mums.

St Valentine’s Day Italian

style? That’s amore!

Volume 3, Issue 1

January 2015

Some say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so we thought it only right that we

should add it to our food and drink offering. We can provide a range of choices from a hearty full

English to eggs how you like ‘em (on toast, boiled with soldiers, etc), as well as bacon and sausage

sarnies that will set you up for the day. We even offer a Champagne brekkie for special occasions.

We often have guests in our cosy B&B rooms, so we’re usually in the kitchen cooking up a break-

fast of champions for them. However, we need to know in advance if you are planning to come for

an early-morning treat, so please book ahead. Breakfast is available daily from 8.30-10am (last

orders at 9.30am). We will be throwing our doors open for breakfast from Monday, February 2.

In most issues of our

Newsletter we like to high-

light different Badger-

branded ales brewed by

Hall & Woodhouse. This

time it’s the turn of peren-

nial favourite, Tanglefoot.

First brewed in the 1980s,

this award-winning golden ale has hints

of melon and pears developed during

the fermentation process. Here’s our at-

a-glance guide:

Smell: Crisp/sweet, spicy

overtones

Colour: Light amber,

copper

Taste: Fruit, scented hop,

cereal

Availability: All year round

ABV: 4.9% as a cask ale /

5% in bottles.

Eat with: Steaks and hearty dishes -

also makes an ideal ingredient for steak

and ale pies.

Whether it’s a wedding reception, anniversary meal, christening, baby shower, special

birthday, or just a romantic meal for two, The Queen’s Head provides the ideal venue for

any celebration.

Our charming dining room is well suited to both intimate dinners as well as large parties

looking to hold an event in style.

We know that everyone’s requirements are individual, so we are keen to discuss how

we can help to make your special occasion extra-special.

The dining room can seat up to 50 guests for a delicious home-cooked, sit-down meal,

but can also accommodate buffet parties, so please ask us for advice on numbers.
