Better late then never, Christmas Team lunch 2012 Excellence!!
I arranged our team Christmas lunch at Missouri Angel in 2012 (I have only just got to use the square meal reviews) and it was absolutely fantastic! We were able to hire out the room downstairs and bring our own decorations to put up, free of charge (good size for a team of 20). The menu had a choice of 3 options for Starter, main and dessert, which we could pre order to save hassle and time on the day. I had a Poached egg on asparagus, with béarnaise sauce for starter and a butternut squash risotto for main (very festive I know! They did provide an option for christmas dinner ect), for dessert I rounded it all off with Christmas pudding and custard. All three courses were amazing! The asparagus was crisp and really balanced out well with the runny explosion of the egg. The risotto lost me for words, it was so rich and smooth, which a fresh mint yogurt in the centre providing a fresh feel to the already beautiful dish, and well the Christmas pudding was oozing of richness and goodness it was simply divine!
Missouri Angel really accommodated our lunch/evening and made it easy for everyone to let their hair down. For our entertainment, we brought along our Wii & karaoke machine which plugged into the TV in the room, where we danced (just dance on Wii) and sang the night away!
The staff at Missouri Angel was very helpful, giving me a hand to set up the room and were even more precise getting the food served to us. Once we had finished eating they cleared away the table and moved it to the front of the room to give us space, and then came down occasionally to make sure we had enough drinks. But really, they left us to enjoy our evening, which was great as we all could relax and enjoy ourselves.
This was a great evening overall and look forward to returning this year.
Only let down is – I personally could not afford to go there myself for a normal day to day lunch, but please don’t let this put you off. If I could go more often I would, as you really do get amazing food!
