The Supper Club

Organisers:  Colin Ellis - supper@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 01530 272592
and Mike Stow - phone 01530 469152

This group aims to visit local pubs and restaurants for an evening meal and and social conversation. We normally meet on the 4th Thursday of the month at 7 pm for 7.30 (This is a fortnight away from the Lunch Group). We will jointly decide on venues.

Everyone is welcome, all we ask is that you sign the sheet by the display board at the monthly meeting prior to the supper, or contact Colin or Mike, by phone or by email, so we can book the relevant number of seats.

If anyone is interested in coming along, but has been discouraged by problems with transport, it may be possible to arrange lifts. Please contact Colin or Mike on the numbers or emails above.

There may sometimes be a limit on numbers depending on the venue's ability to cater for larger numbers, in which case places will be offered strictly on a first come, first served basis. There may also need to be a cut-off date for bookings. This will be stated on the bookings list.

28th November – The Ferrers Arms, Lount

This month we stayed local and visited the Ferrers Arms at Lount. The pub seemed to be doing a good amount of trade which is nice to see in our local pubs, but despite that the service was prompt, smooth and welcoming. We had pre-ordered and so the starters arrived pretty much as soon as the last of us arrived and seemed to be a cut above the usual Marston’s fare. Main courses were served on time too and were all pretty good. Certainly the table went quiet once everyone had food in front of them.

Quite a few of us went for the puddings which all looked to be suitably decadent. A good evening had by all and unfortunately this will be the last gathering until February 27th as both Boxing Day and our Burns Night supper at the Golf Club clash with our December and January dates which I'm sure will be at least as much fun.
