Early Saturday morning the British & Irish Lions put our friendly southern hemisphere neighbors to the sword with a crushing victory, followed by Andy Murray putting an end to a 77 year wait for a British Wimbledon Champion! Whats more we've had some more great weather and the long awaited Ashes Cricket series has just started.
However Any Murray has much to answer for! Last Friday was a quiet night. In fact the whole of Holmfirth seemed unusually quiet for a Friday. Of course Andy Murray was on court, doing his best to reach his second Wimbledon final and in turn being the main reason for a quiet restaurant (I'm blaming him anyways!). Having said all that, on this occasion I will forgive him. I'm sure you will agree that the performance he put in on Sunday was phenomenal. But I forgave him mainly because he finished his final in three-straight-sets and that did allow for our customers to return on Sunday evening!
On Friday Hannah Balmforth sung her heart out to an upstairs dining room. The tables in the restaurant enjoyed her so much they had her doing more than just the one encore.
"I had to stop in the end as I had run out of material!" Said a very excited Hannah.
I look forward to Hannah's return within the next few months. This weeks live music comes from resident pianist James Hey. James is becoming a local celebrity within the Holme Valley. He can now be found playing at the recently opened 'Spiced Pear', Hepworth as well as various Weddings/Events throughout the Valley and Huddersfield. He will be playing in the restaurant from around 8:30pm. To book you table click here or call 01484 689003.
Saturday was business as usual. There was more great sporting news in the morning due to the Lions success down-under and even better was the 30degree temperatures all over the Holme Valley. I don't think we have ever sold so much ice-cream!
I should once again remind you all that we are currently bang in the middle of Holmfirth Art Week. As was outlined in last weeks blog we have teamed up with Holmfirth High School and are currently exhibiting 30 different pieces of students art work. The feedback on the art from diners and some local experts has been outstanding! The school and the students should all be very proud of their work! All Holmifrth High School students and their families have be encouraged to come and see the art 'up in lights' so to speak. Every student with art work on display that dines with us will receive 25% off their tables bill. Any Holmfirth High School students that want to come down to see their fellow students work are entitled to a free dessert!
Some fantastic examples of some of the brilliant work we have on display! To see more of the work click here
Away from the restaurant itself Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar will be making it's debut at Honley's 'Street Market' 2013. We will be found on a stall providing appetite wetting tasters from our menu and selling our homemade sangria. My fingers will remain firmly crossed that the weather will be sunny and warm. The market runs from 10am-3pm Saturday 13th July. It would be really great to see you all their!
So next week, what with James Hey, Art Week winners and the Honley market to write about, it should be a packed edition of the Les Caeveaux Tapas & Wine Bar blog. Until then, I hope to see lots of you over the weekend in what should be the perfect weather for tapas.
Kind Regards,
