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.

23rd April – The Belper Arms, Newton Burgoland

With several members away on holiday, there were just 8 of us to try the Belper Arms and yet more new management, and pretty good it was. After a small problem of them wanting us to pre-order but from a new menu which was due out the week before but didn’t seem to be available, we settled for using the old menu. It was quite a short menu, which can be a good thing if it means everything is cooked fresh, and we all found something we liked. The service was very friendly and pretty quick and we all tucked in. The food was not the finest, but considerably better than we have had at one or two places recently. A good evening.

On May 28th we shall be returning to the Staff of Life in Ticknall which we haven't been to for a while, but recent reports have been good. Anyone wishing to join us, please drop a line to supper@ashbyu3a.co.uk
