PARAMOUNT http://www.paramount.uk.net RESTAURANT & EVENTS | LONDON Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:23:44 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 “The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within.”- William C. Bryant http://www.paramount.uk.net/2012/02/22/%e2%80%9cthe-february-sunshine-steeps-your-boughs-and-tints-the-buds-and-swells-the-leaves-within-%e2%80%9d-william-c-bryant/ http://www.paramount.uk.net/2012/02/22/%e2%80%9cthe-february-sunshine-steeps-your-boughs-and-tints-the-buds-and-swells-the-leaves-within-%e2%80%9d-william-c-bryant/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:23:44 +0000 admin http://www.paramount.uk.net/?p=1141 Doesn’t it just!

Most cordial is the weather I feel; this was the sight greeting me early this Wednesday morning.

 

 

The sun arising upon the East is a daily zenith to elevate one’s spirits, just as it setting can soothe and delight.

 

And what better way than to ‘tweet tweet tra-la-la-la’ and make use of that ‘Early Bird’ offer.

 

2 courses £18.50/3 courses £23.50*

 

* Available: Mon – Fri: 6:00pm – 7:00pm Includes Vat, excludes service.  Maximum 6 guests

 

I thought February might be rather quiet. It isn’t. Which is, of course, good news for us all. So if you are looking to book, be it for dinner or just to be on the Guest List for drinks, do plan ahead – because some times are like gold dust, especially as the week clocks on.

 

Now, what intoxicating treat is Amanda serving us up this week…

You may have missed the sensational January offer – but February itself has something delightful to present.

* Available: Mon – Fri: 6:00pm – 7:00pm Includes Vat, excludes service.  Maximum 6 guests

Time to be perky, shake loose and book for the remaining week of ‘3 for 30’.  Yes, next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (and the Monday before Valentine’s) allows you to have sensational 3 course selection from the full à la carte menu for just £30*.


 
What a treat of a feast indeed. And after the 14th of February, the chance to so indulge will have flown with the doves of love. Talking of which…

Not only is there a reduction on the minimum spends for exclusive dinners, but for those wishing to hold a meeting exalted on high, the packages for Breakfast start from £15 per head, and for All Day just £38.50 per head.
