The WLA's Working Members Xmas Meal willl take place on Saturday, 10 December 2022 at 7.30pm at Legends Cantonese Retaurant, 33 East Castle Street, Bridgnorth. With D1062 (running as D1040) clocking up 3,372.5 miles on the SVR during the 2022 running season, and with a 97% availability rate (just 1.5 days were lost due to a vacuum leak on the reservoir side and a brake relay fault), there should be much to celebrate!
The fixed price menu at £18.50 includes a Combination Starter followed by Aromatic Crispy Duck as a Second Course, and then Sizzling Lamb with Black Bean Sauce, Chilli Chicken Cantonese Style, Beef with Fruity Sauce, King Prawns & Scallops in Bird's Nest, with Yung Chow Fried Rice and Prawn Crackers. Alternative menu options are available upon request (all food to be ordered in advance).
