Greetings from all of us at The George in Rye, in our final missive of 2011. We hope you’re winding down on the work-front and are getting ready to leave out your carrot for Rudolf and sherry for Father Christmas (apparently he only does Amontillado).

A few final opportunities for festive fun courtesy of us:

If you’re in or around Rye on Christmas Eve, pop into the Tap Bar at lunch or teatime and you will be delighted and entertained by our visiting Carol Singers for just one more round of Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Go on, you know you want to.

If it’s got to the stage where you are desperately stuck for that final present, we have an option perfect for the bon vivant in your lives, George in Rye gift vouchers, which at this late stage can be emailed to you directly to print. Voila. Available in the value of your choice, though £1 may come across as just a little stingy. Give us a ring on 01797 222 114, tweet @thegeorgeinrye or email [email protected] to sort one out pronto.

Finally, we have just a few late-notice openings for our New Year’s Eve Stay, which includes a wonderful feast in the ballroom and a boogie courtesy of ace band, The Rock and Roll Society. Get your glad rags ready and spend a joyous start to the New Year in East Sussex. If you like the sound of this getaway, drop us a line!

Meanwhile, have restful and joy-filled Christmas and New Year, and we look forward to seeing you for high jinks in Rye in 2012,

Best Wishes,

The George in Rye Team
