Daisy B & Tom at The Den along with special Xmas platters and champagne with Alban Ichaso downstairs in O’Sullivan’s.

For those avid sports fans, don’t miss a single kick-off, touch down or fowl live at Barometer this week on one of the bar’s five HD plasma screens. Pop in and try a steak sandwich during the match, great value for money and ample as a sharing plate for two.
