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 August – Royal Oak, Long Whatton

Last time we visited the Royal Oak was 3 years ago and we had a very good meal, so we were hoping for the same this time and we weren't disappointed. The building has had a refit inside since last time and is looking very nice.

We had pre-ordered our food and the waiting staff were on the ball and bought all the food out promptly, saying ‘salmon for Mike’ or ‘pie for Colin’ etc., and by the second course seemed to have remembered everyone’s names. The food was delicious and well-presented. Service was excellent. It is a little dearer than other pubs around here but you certainly get your money’s worth.

Next month on the 25th we shall be returning to the George and Dragon on the A512 at Thringstone. Anyone wishing to join us, please contact Mike or Colin at supper@ashbyu3a.co.uk
