Kingston Local History Society Christmas Party will take place in the Reading Room on Thursday 4th December 2025 starting at 7pm.
The format again will be an informal buffet supper for which we are inviting offers of food contributions please from members.
KLHS will provide complimentary prosecco at the start of the evening.
Thereafter we will have wine available throughout the evening asking for £3 per glass or £12 per bottle with profits going towards KLHS funds. [ Will the card reader be operational by then or should we still say please bring cash?] [ We still have no facility for card payments so please bring cash. ]
We will also provide basic free soft drinks in the form of water and squash but please bring your own if you would prefer anything more to your personal choice.
Beer will be available from The Dolphin.
Please feel free to bring your own bottles of wine if you prefer to do so.
The plan would be a simple buffet supper possibly but not necessarily suitable for a knife and fork leaving that to personal preference followed by a cheese board and desserts. Last year everyone excelled themselves with a delicious range of different food contributions so if you want to suggest the same as what you brought last year that seemed to be very successful. We will be aiming for overall food contributions along the following lines:-
Smoked salmon blinis
Crudites
Dips
Canapes and interesting nibbles
Sausages
Sausage rolls
Pasties
Pigs in blankets
Spicy chicken wings
Vols au vent
Quiches
Cheese straws
Fresh accompaniments – cherry tomatoes, celery, grapes, watercress/rocket
Other accompaniments – pickles, chutneys, cranberry sauce
Desserts – a variety

Glasses and table napkins will be provided but please bring your own plates/bowls and cutlery, including for dessert and the cheese board.
