Bring in the New Year @OCA...

After the continuing success of OCA's New Year bashes, we will be reliving our end-of-year extravaganza again with a tantalising trio of entertainment!

Set to be our best New Year's Eve EVER, we have for your delectation, John Norcott, a versatile singer with a repertoire covering the whole spectrum from rock to swing.

Never a dull moment... to add to your entertainment, there will be a roving magician tantalising you with his antics and mystical talents.

OCA will open for an early sitting for non-party diners from 4.30pm (booking recommended - no minimum), serving our regular menu, with all tables having to be vacated by 7.00pm prompt. Pre-paid table reservations are then available, and restricted, to our NYE party revellers for our 2nd sitting from 7.30pm, for the rest of the evening which will include the following:

  • A welcome glass of champagne upon seating at your table.
  • 3-course meal of your choice from the regular OCA menu (OCA menu 'Specials' will be available on a pre-order basis only - £5 supplement per main course.
  • Party favours & balloons ...and more!
