Friday 4th December 2026 - Christmas Luncheon at The Bathwick Boatman Riverside Restaurant

12.00 for 12.30pm

Following the success of previous years, we have once again booked The Bathwick Boatman for a Christmas lunch, and were hoping that we again have a good response.

Please see below the menu, a two-course luncheon with tea and coffee for £35 or a three course option with a dessert for £45. As she has always come up with an excellent fare, I hope you will feel happy in forwarding your advance payment to Gardens, Bath & Beyond to book your place.

Please note that we have included a small amount in the price to cover gratuities for their service.

Please send your choices on the form below. Anyone wishing to go for the steak please make sure you add how you would like it cooked and note the £6.75 surcharge. There is also a choice of butter.

Looking forward to seeing most of you on the 4th December.

Yours sincerely,

Bunny Harvey
