What a Weekend!

Good afternoon all,

The restaurant has just about recovered from another bank holiday. We even got some nice weather!! After a steady week of preparation for a busy bank holiday period, Friday really got the weekend started.

On Friday lunch time Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar hosted a 'Ladies Who Lunch'. The restaurant was full with ladies having a fun-filled (alcohol fueled) afternoon of food and then a trip to the cinema with friends.

 It was daunting yet, enjoyable to have the restaurant full of just ladies. It was great fun, and a lovely time was had by all the ticket holders. It was also interesting to see Head Chef Sean Creamer test himself with a completely new format of dining in terms of an 'a la carte' menu for the lunch time service. Judge for yourself on just how good the food looked!

Once the riff-raff had disappeared (only joking ladies!) Friday night saw the long awaited return of jazz quartet 'Us & Them'. They wowed an ever growing audience of diners, drinkers and general passers by with their toe tapping beats and wonderful jazz sound. As the crowd built so did the atmosphere, which by 11pm was second to none in Holmfirth with a steady flow of Spanish Sangria and pints of Mahou to keep the crowd well oiled! The talented young men (Us & Them) thrived on the feedback they were getting from a very receptive crowd as they performed encore after encore. "They (crowd) didn't want us to stop, they were awesome! We didn't want to stop playing for them...I'm knackered now though!" - Barney Lister, (percussionist) said once they had finally finished.

Us & Them in full flow!

It was once again an example of the cellar bar being a hub for great music, great food and entertainment on a Friday night. It was fantastic to see so many people down there taking in the music and having a really great time. Long may this continue! This week sees Rob Jarvis, a local guitarist play some authentic Spanish music, fantastic while you dine! He will start around 9pm.

After a  stocking up process and mass restaurant clean up we were ready to do it all again on Saturday. It was a lovely day and the panoramic views out of the upstairs dining room made for a fabulous night of wining and dining. Wine and sangria was flowing and a steady flow of tapas meant a wonderfully enjoyable evening was had by all. 

Watch this space, next week I'm going to tell you about our latest special off which is far too good to ignore!

See you soon,
