Pot Luck night moves to Wednesdays
Our ever popular Pot Luck night has moved from Monday to Wednesday for the winter but find out below how it got its name.
The History Of The Famous Pot Luck Menu
For over 25 years, Monday night
at The Horn of Plenty has affectionately become
known as Pot Luck night. When it was introduced by the founders of
The Horn of Plenty, Patrick and Sonia Stevenson,
it was at a time when fresh deliveries of food
could only be delivered on a Tuesday morning and
therefore in order to open on Monday evening,
any remaining produce in the fridge from the weekend
would be used.
As a result, quality and freshness would not be compromised but choice would be limited and therefore a reduced menu price would be offered to compensate guests for at times not being able to accommodate their first choice.
Over time, Pot Luck evenings
became one of the busiest times of the week and
the tradition of the reduced price has followed
to this very day apart from the fact that these
days the ingredients are delivered on any day
and the guests' selection is always available.
However, the choice remains reduced from our normal
six options of starters, mains and desserts to
three.
