A treat for Valentine’s Day!

February 2nd, 2012 by katie

 

Urban Valentine's hamper!

We know that buying Valentine’s gifts can sometimes be a little tricky! There’s the standard bunch of flowers, or perhaps a box of chocolates with the cuddly toy… ;) So to be a little different this year, we’d recommend buying an Urban hamper!

Filled with lots of ‘lurve’ and plenty of goodies, your loved one will be grinning from ear after receiving this little lot. Our hampers are filled with:

x2 choc chilli cookies

x1 gingerbread couple

x1 gingerbread ‘I love you!’

x1 bag of choccy truffles

x2 heart cupcakes

x1 bag of hibiscus shortbread hearts

If you’re buying a hamper for your lady friend we’ll pop in a bottle of pink fizz and if it’s for your fella we’ll include a bottle of Palmers – we think of something for everyone ;)

 

To order your Valentine’s hamper for collection (£25 per hamper), please email: katie@urbanreef.com or call 01202 443960 to reserve one.

Happy Valentine’s Day! X

 

Live music Sunday with Jon Cotton

January 24th, 2012 by katie

Music from Jon Cotton

It’s nearly that time of the month again, where we welcome our resident musician Jon Cotton to sing some songs in our restaurant!

Jon will be with us this coming Sunday January 29th and from 7.30pm he’ll be singing some songs as you tuck into a three course feast with a special cocktail. This month’s treat is an Apple sweet ‘n’ sour. We think it tastes rather lovely.

We’ve got a couple of tables spare so if you want to book visit the bookings page of our website or just call us: 01202 443960 and we’ll save you a space.

Love the Urbans. X

P.S: If you want to view the current menu have a little look on our menus page. X

 

 

Feeling all ‘lurved’ up

January 18th, 2012 by katie

We’re halfway through January already (where on earth has the first month of 2012 gone!?) and before we know it Valentine’s Day will be upon us.

For all those hopeless romantics out there who can’t wait to book a table for their loved one, come and see us.

We’re running a set menu and for £40 per person you can enjoy a glass of fizz on arrival, a three course feast with a tea, coffee and petit fours to finish.

For those of you that want to come with friends, book a table for four and we’ll throw in a bottle of house wine. Marvellous!

To book call us on: 01202 443960.

Happy Valentine’s Day! X

Urban early bird Brekkie offer!

January 10th, 2012 by katie

At this time of year the days are short and the evenings are long so we reckon early weekend starts are the way forward!

However, we know that to get you out of bed at silly o’clock on a Saturday or Sunday morning we’re going to have to entice you in… so we’ve come up with a couple of ‘early bird brekkie’ offers.

Book between 8am and 9am on a Saturday or Sunday throughout January and we’ll give you two brekkies for a tenner. For those of you would rather join us between 9am and 10am we’ll give you a free large coffee (or tea!) to enjoy with your brekkie.

So there you go, tuck into some Dorset sausages, Hampshire free range eggs, smoked back bacon and Origin coffee – tasty.

Call: 01202 443960 to book and quote ‘Facebook’ when you arrive.

We reckon that’s worth getting up for. X

Live Music Sunday!

November 24th, 2011 by katie

Come in from the cold this coming Sunday evening (November 27th), snuggle up next to our log burning fire or in one of our squishy booths and tuck into our ‘three courses’ (and a cocktail!) menu all for £20. You’ll also be able to listen to some soulful songs from our resident musician, Jon Cotton. The perfect way to end the month!

To book give us a call on: 01202 443960 and if you want to get your taste buds watering, take a look at our sample menu under the ‘menus’ tab.

And if you fancy having a go at making this month’s ‘Sunday night live’ cocktail at home, then have a little look at this recipe…

How to make an ‘Urban Rose’ – traditionally known as a ‘Rose Gimlet’ -

Urban Rose

Ingredients:

50ml gin

15ml rose syrup

2-3 dashes angostura bitters

A dash of lime juice

Pour all of your ingredients into a Boston Shaker (the silver thing that us bar folk use to shake cocktails). Stir in some cubes of ice and strain (using a drink strainer which looks like a little sieve) into a martini glass. To finish it off, we think it looks nice to add a coil of lemon, as pictured ;)

 

Celebrate autumn and winter at Urban Beach

November 1st, 2011 by katie

Scarecrows welcome

Join the team at Urban Beach this coming Sunday November 5th from 12.30pm to celebrate all that is autumn and winter in their Harvest Festival!

The team will be out on the deck serving mulled wine, spiced cider and tasty pork rolls (£7 for a roasted pork roll with stuffing and home made apple chutney, dressed mixed salad leaves and chunky chips – yummy). For those of you with a sweet tooth, they’ll have cakes courtesy of the very lovely baker Kay. She’ll be making apple and carrot cake, and she’ll even be making some toffee apples for the kids – and for the big kids of you out there ;)

Solo artist, ‘One Man Destruction Show’, will be performing throughout the afternoon too. (He’s not quite as scary as he sounds!)

So be sure to wrap up warm and head on down. They’ll be finishing around 6pm so you can go on to enjoy some firework displays too.

Scarecrows welcome. X
