November meeting - Shah Manzil, Liss

The table is booked!  Our November meeting will be on Tuesday 8th November at the Shah Manzil restaurant, 73 Station Road, Liss, close to the level crossing.  Aperitifs will be at the Whistlestop from about 7 pm and then dinner will be at 8 pm.

We haven't eaten at this restaurant under its current ownership. After a particularly rubbish evening in 2007 we scrubbed it from the list. At the time it was called Saaki, and we had no idea how it could class itself as a restaurant.  

I took a solo trip to try it out last week.  It's family run, brightly lit, fairly busy even midweek, and I was very pleased with my choices:

	Mixed starter including samosa, onion bhaji, seekh kebab,chicken tikka and a piece of fried paneer
	Lamb Anari Bakra (lamb cooked with hot spice and crushed red chillis), Hydrabadi Palak Dal (yellow lentils, cumin, garlic, spinach), pilau rice and a naan

Please let me know as soon as possible if you plan to attend, either using the feedback form on the web site or by responding to the email notice sent to members.

Hope to see you on Tuesday 8th!

October meeting - Gurkha Durbar, Grayshott

The table is booked!  Our October meeting takes place in Grayshott on Tuesday 11th at the Gurkha Durbar.  Aperitifs will be at the Fox and Pelican from about 7 pm, and then dinner is booked for 8 pm just up the road. 

We had a great visit there in June and had planned to go back in November.   We’ve had to switch. Our plan was Shah Manzil in Liss in October but it’s closed on Tuesdays. We’ll figure out a date later. 

We need to give the restaurant as good an estimate of numbers as possible by Monday at the latest but an early reply is very helpful.   Please reply as soon as possible to the e-mail notice sent to members or use the feedback form on our web site.  There's lots of parking in Grayshott including at the F&P, and three public car parks, as well as on the street.

Looking forward to a great evening on Tuesday 11th!

Tue 13th September - Bay Leaf, Grayshott

The table is booked!  By popular request, we’re going to Bay Leaf, Grayshott again in September.  Our meeting is on Tuesday 13th.  

Aperitifs will be at the Fox and Pelican (front bar) from about 7 pm and then dinner is at 8. 

We always enjoy ourselves at the Bay Leaf.  For many members, it's the favourite venue.  We rarely go to the same place three times in a year but it's so good, we couldn't resist. 

Please let me know as soon as possible whether you expect to be there, either using the feedback page of the web site or in answer to this meeting notice e-mail.  To make sure we book enough places, please respond as early as possible, ideally by 8 p.m. on Sunday 11th.  Looking forward to a great evening!

Sad news

We heard through Petersfield Rugby Club that Malcolm Godden died last week.  He was one of the Curry Club originals - he rarely missed a meeting until he suffered a stroke at home about ten years ago.  After that, he and Jo still made huge efforts to attend.  We soon learnt which venues were wheelchair-friendly - sadly many weren't.  We'll raise a glass to his memory at our September meeting. 

Wed 10th Aug - Dhanmondi, Whitehill

 

Slightly late - I was away - but the table is booked!  We'll return to Dhanmondi in Whitehill for our next meeting, on Wednesday 10th.  This was actually the last place we met before the pandemic, in February 2020, when we had a pretty strong turnout.  It will be good to return.

Aperitifs will be at the Woodlark, the pub/restaurant just 150 yards away on the other side of the A325 from about 19:00.  It's a Marstons pub and I'm interested to see what beers they'll have from their excellent range.

Dinner will be at 20:00.   There's a map below (if the technology works) or you can follow this Google Maps link for map and directions.  Parking is at the back of the restaurant. 

Please let me know as soon as possible whether you expect to be there, either using the feedback page of the web site or in answer to the meeting notice sent to members.  To make sure we have enough places, please respond as early as possible, ideally by 8 p.m. on Monday.  Looking forward to a great evening on 10th August - hope to see everyone who isn't on a sun-kissed beach!

Wed 13th July - Chilli Nights

 

Chilli Night(s) - Wednesday 13th July!

The table is booked for our July meeting which will take place on Wednesday 13th. We last visited this restaurant in October 2019, before the pandemic put a stop to our meetings, so it's great to return there and we're sure of a warm welcome.

Aperitifs will be at the Mill Tavern from 7-ish. It's about ten minutes' walk to the restaurant or three minutes by car. Dinner is booked for 8 pm.

Please let me know either using the feedback form on the web site or in response to the e-mail notice to members whether or not you expect to be there. I'd like to know as soon as possible but definitely by Monday morning (11th) please, so that we can adjust the booking if necessary.

Chilli Night(s) always looks after us well. Hope to see you there!

Looking back to June, wasn't Gurkha Durbar fantastic? We have two great options in Grayshott so we may be back quite soon.

17th May - Madhuban!

AMENDED! Change of date

 The table is booked!  A trip to Madhuban in Liss is long overdue. It's one of the top Indian/Bengali restaurants in the area and it's renowned for its fine cooking. 

We last went there in April 2019, and our 2020 visit was cancelled due to the pandemic.  So at last - we return on Tuesday 17th May!  Aperitifs will be at the Whistlestop (GU33 7DS for your SatNav) from about 18:30 and then dinner is at 19:30.

Please let me know either using the feedback page on our web site or by responding to the e-mail notice sent to members, whether you expect to make it or not. Hope to see many of our members there for a great evening!

Curry Club at Bay Leaf in April

 

April Meeting: Wed 13th, 7:30 pm

The table is booked!  We’re going to Bay Leaf again this month by popular request after a very successful and well attended March meeting at Malabon in Petersfield.  

Aperitifs will be at the Fox and Pelican (front bar) from about 6:30 pm and then dinner is at 7:30.  Please note - earlier time!

We always enjoy ourselves at the Bay Leaf and in February, Bishnu laid on some off-menu treats. For many members, it's the favourite venue.  Here's another great opportunity for you to invite a friend or partner meet our Curry Club as we get going after a long break.

Please let me know as soon as possible whether you expect to be there, either using the feedback page of the web site or in answer to the meeting notice e-mail sent to members of our mailing list.  To make sure we book enough places, please respond as early as possible, ideally by 8 p.m. on Monday 11th.  Looking forward to a great evening!

 

We're back!  After a gap of two years, we had a great evening on 16th February at Bay Leaf in Grayshott.  Although several people couldn't make it due to a case of COVID, it was a good turnout and everyone enjoyed the delicious food including some specials.  

The table is booked!  Our next meeting will be at Malabon in Petersfield, on Tuesday 15th March.  Aperitifs will be at the Red Lion from about 6.30, and then dinner is at 7.30.  Please note the start time - early than we used to do. 

The restaurant have limited space and it may be difficult or impossible to accommodate extra people at the last moment.  We need to let them know numbers on Monday evening so please let me know somehow ideally by 6 pm Monday.  You can use the feedback page on the web site or in response to the e-mail to members, or even WhatsApp if you like, whether you expect to make it or not.

The cooking's always good there, so let's hope we have a great turnout! 

 

The table is booked!  Thank you to everyone who responded to our survey in December.  The vote was in favour of meeting before Christmas but in the event, the arrival of Omicron made us think again about an early resumption of meetings. 

We're looking forward to our first meeting since the start of the pandemic at the Bay Leaf in Grayshott on Wednesday 16th February.  Aperitifs will be at the Fox and Pelican (front bar) from about 6:30 pm and then dinner is at 7:30.  Please note - earlier time!

We always enjoy ourselves at the Bay Leaf - for many members, it's the favourite venue.  Here's a fantastic opportunity for you to invite a friend or partner meet our Curry Club as we get going after a long break.

Please let me know as soon as possible whether you expect to be there, either using the feedback page of the web site or in answer to the meeting notice e-mail which will be sent to members shortly.  To make sure we have enough places, please respond as early as possible, ideally by 8 p.m. on Monday 14th.  Looking forward to a great evening!
