The Luncheon Group

Leaders:  Colin and Sharon Woodland - luncheon@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 01530 413867

We are a group of ladies and gentlemen who enjoy a meal together, a different venue is chosen each month. Everyone is welcome, all we ask is that you sign the sheet by the display board at the meeting prior to the lunch, or contact Colin or Sharon in advance, so that we can book the relevant number of seats.

13th August 2026 - Halfway House Donisthorpe

Fifteen congregated for lunch at the Halfway House in Donisthorpe. Unfortunately, the place had gone somewhat down hill since our previous visit. The menu was very limited and the service extremely slow. The starters seemed to be of good standard and size but the main courses, when they finally arrived were uninspiring to say the least. The staff were pleasant enough but seemed somewhat distracted and un-attentive to our needs. It will be a while and only after evidence of an improved standard before we make a return visit.

Our September venue will be at the Bull's Head, 67 Market Street Ashby de la Zouch LE65 1AP on 10 September at 12 noon. Sharon and I will not be with you on this occasion as we will be embarking upon an adventure to Iceland on a cruise. Never fear, Brenda will skilfully watch over you all and ensure you behave yourselves.

If anyone else wishes to join the group please email on luncheon@ashbyu3a.co.uk to book a place or sign up on the sheet placed at the rear of the church at the monthly meeting.
