The 2024 festive period at Bartellas was a hugely enjoyable success when, yet again, you wonderful regulars along with our newfound fans were keeping it local to appreciate our food, service and ambience.

I lost track of how many visits a week some of you made, while your generous and abundant gifts of chocolates helped keep us suitably charged throughout the weeks - thank you!

January’s trade has been encouraging where I sense you are virtually desperate to avoid all the nonsense and criminality beyond Bartellas for a few hours of sanctuary.

So some further enticements and refreshments on our à la carte menu include a hearty Pork Schnitzel Holstein, classic Boeuf Bourguignon, a Duck Curry with a pineapple and coconut yoghurt plus some staff favourite pizze including Pizza Picante and a Pizza Hawaiian - full details on the website.

Usual bonus of a complimentary bottle of wine to the value of £50 per paid up Club Bartellas member per duration of the offer; valid until Sunday 23rd February, but not including Friday 14th February please.

Our Valentine’s Day menu is available lunchtime and dinner but with very limited space especially for the evening prime times.

Already filling up fast is Mothering Sunday on 30th March and Father’s Day on 15th June. We’ve dates too in the March diary for some Après Ski parties plus weekend al fresco BBQs to welcome in the warmer weather.

During our Christmas experience we suffered some frustrating issues at the restaurant on which we believe reasonable people would concur with our position - namely dogs in the restaurant, the behaviour of children, celebration cakes plus car parking, all reviewed and now highlighted on the website when you book on line.

As always, thank you for your tremendous support and encouragement - we look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

As ever,

Ian
