Wed 10th July  - Fewa Inn, Whitehill
 

The table is booked!  Wednesday 10th July.  We decided at June's meeting that we'll go back to the Fewa Inn in Whitehill, which opened last year and we visited last July.  This is a Gurkha restaurant in what used to be a pub under various names - it's been The Roadmaker, The Outback, and the Prince of Wales at various points in its history. 

We enjoyed ourselves last year.  The menu has lots of Nepali and Indian choices.  It's a large comfortable room with Nepali decorations and it has plenty of room for us.  There's a decent sized car park at the back and plenty of on-street parking if that's full.

Whitehill and the surrounding area are still a bit of a desert for pubs - although its population is bigger than both Alton and Petersfield, there's only one pub in town.  So aperitifs will be at the Woodlark from about 7 pm and then we drive the short distance (0.3 miles or 2 minutes away) to the Fewa Inn for dinner at 8. 

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 have enough places, please respond as early as possible, ideally by 8 p.m. on Monday 8th.  Looking forward to a great evening!

Gurkha Garden in June

The table is booked! We'll visit the newly opened Gurkha Garden in Grayshott on Wednesday 12th June. In their own words

Our History

Welcome to Gurkha Garden, your premier destination for authentic Nepalese cuisine, available for takeaway. Nestled in the heart of Hindhead, Gurkha Garden brings the rich flavors and culinary traditions of Nepal to your doorstep, offering a unique and delicious dining experience that’s both convenient and satisfying.

At Gurkha Garden, we are passionate about sharing the diverse and vibrant flavors of Nepalese cuisine. Our menu features a wide array of traditional dishes, meticulously prepared by our experienced chefs using fresh, high-quality ingredients and time-honored recipes. From the spicy heat of our Khasiko Masu to the comforting warmth of our momo dumplings, every dish is crafted to transport your taste buds to the majestic Himalaya

This sounds like a new restaurant but it's not. Also despite the blurb, it really is in the middle of Grayshott, exactly where the Manzil, Gurkha Durbar and Himalayan Garden were. The history doesn't mention its recent predecessors but we understand that the leading characters - apart from the owner - are exactly the same. So we'll see some familiar faces when we visit!

As usual when we visit Grayshott, aperitifs will be at the Fox and Pelican from about 19:00 and then dinner will be at 20:00.  Please use the feedback form on the website or respond to this email to members to let us know if you expect to be there.

Looking forward to a great evening on Wednesday 12th!
