The Puddings Are Coming Back

Well, we promised a return of the Steak and Kidney Puddings - and we keep our promises.

We’re delighted to confirm that from next week our home made Steak and Kidney puddings will be back on the menu. We only make them once a week, for serving on Tuesdays.   Yes, that means the 4th October is the big day!

These puddings  are homemade and, as experts will know, they have to be properly steamed to be really good. That means there’s only a limited number available on the Tuesdays – 24 to be precise – and once they’re gone for the day that’s it.  There’s no ‘microwave magic’ here!

So, if you’re keen (and who could blame you?) do feel free to book a table and a pudding in advance (01491 628400). If you’re more of a risk-taker  just make sure to get here early, whether it’s for lunch or dinner.

We hope to see you soon – and on a Tuesday if you’re after a really gorgeous Steak and Kidney Pudding.

PS:  I know, I know, but don’t forget Christmas.  We’ve a great menu this year, so do book your Christmas meal or party soon. Full details are here.

Goodbye Paul, Hello Geoff

One of our team of two chefs, Paul, has decided to move on to pastures new after 12 years; we're sorry to see him go but, of course, we wish him well. Don't worry - Karl remains, and is now joined by Geoff, formerly of the Stag and Huntsman at Hambleden.  The new team is working together to produce some fresh treats for our menus ... while keeping the old favourites!

Do Nothing. Enjoy Christmas.

All Christmas parties should be fun and hassle free – yours included!

It’s fashionable to moan about the Christmas season but we like it.  It’s really satisfying to be able to make Christmas parties enjoyable.  All of us here, the staff in the kitchen, the staff waiting on tables and the staff behind the bar, are anything but ‘humbug’.

And, of course, for us, organising a party isn’t a hassle – it’s something we do all year round.  Have your Christmas party at The Maltsters and it won’t be a hassle for you either!

So, whether you’re thinking about a small office party or a bigger ‘works do’; a festive night out with your club or society or just a nice Christmas meal with a group of friends, come to The Maltsters for your celebration, knowing  you’ll  be able to relax and enjoy an evening provided by a team that’s dedicated to making sure everything is just as it should be.

This year we’re offering a two- or three-course menu, with both versions offering some really tasty festive-themed treats.  Full details and how to book are now on the web site – click here for more information.

As always, spaces are limited and December can fill up rather quickly, so we hope to hear from you soon.

Instant or Delayed?

Let’s start with the Instant – and no, I don’t mean micro-waved meals. I mean instant gratification in the form of an offer you can start using right away.

As what passed for Summer seems to be slipping very rapidly in to Autumn already, we thought we’d make September a little better for everyone by offering 20% off all food on Thursdays until the end of the month. All you need to do is download and print your free voucher from the Special Events Page on the web site, and present it with your order. Simple.

You can make use of this offer on as many Thursdays as you want to – and you can even come in for lunch and dinner. Just print off as many copies of the voucher as you need!

And delayed?

Well, with Autumn comes the need for some heartier fare than summer and yes, that means Steak and Kidney puddings. We’ve already had a couple of fans asking whether they’re going to be coming back and this is just to reassure everyone who’s keen that the answer is a very definite ‘yes’. We promise you they’ll be on the menu again in October. More details when the time is nearer.

We hope to see you soon.
