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.

27th August – The Unicorn Inn, Orton on the Hill

Despite the rain ten of us made it out to the Unicorn, but it seems that other diners were put off by the weather as the pub was strangely quiet.

As usual, the service was excellent and ordering was handled without fuss. Starters soon arrived which set the tone for being both delicious and generously large. Then came even larger main courses; even a fish salad would have served two! But everything was very tasty and silence descended for several minutes as we all tucked in. Some people even managed a dessert afterwards!

An excellent evening at a great pub, but arrive hungry.

Whilst sitting in the pub we could hear torrential rain on the roof and the odd flash of lightning but as we left the sky lit up with a tremendous lightning display with which one could see for miles.

Next month we are heading to the Birch Tree on the A511 at Bardon. Lunch club recently had a good meal there so we have high hopes.

Anyone wishing to join us, please drop a line to supper@ashbyu3a.co.uk
