Petersfield meeting cancelled 😧

The only participants for tonight's meeting are Grayshott-based and so we've decided that it's not worth a trip to Petersfield, particulary given the revolting driving conditions.  It's a shame, we'll have to wait for another chance to enjoy the cooking at Malabon. 

In its place, we're fixing up a Grayshott get-together this evening via WhatsApp.  We'll make a decision about April then. 

Malabon - Tuesday 12th March

The table is booked!  Our March meeting will be at Malabon in Petersfield, on Tuesday 12th.  Aperitifs will be at the Red Lion from about 7.30, and then dinner is at 8.30. 

The restaurant have a busy Tuesday night and space is limited.  We need to let them know numbers on Monday evening so please let me know through the feedback page on the web site or in response to the e-mail to members whether you expect to make it or not. 

The cooking's always good there, so let's look forward to a great curry evening. 

Bay Leaf, Tue 12th Feb

The table is booked!  We're looking forward to a visit to the Bay Leaf in Grayshott on Tuesday 12th February.  Aperitifs will be at the Fox and Pelican (front bar) from about 7:30 and then dinner is at 8:30.

We always enjoy ourselves at the Bay Leaf - for many members, it's their favourite venue.  Hard luck to those who are away in the Caribbean next week, but I expect that the sunshine, rum and some goat curry will help to make up for what you're missing.

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.  Looking forward to a great evening!

Spice Lounge on 15th Jan!

We haven't been to the Spice Lounge since December 2017.  Early last year, the menu changed direction to something that looked expensive and very short of interesting dishes.  Fortunately it's back as an Indian restaurant and we're booked to go there on Tuesday 15th.  That's a week later than the usual schedule, but we felt at the last meeting that the 8th was just too close to New Year.


I haven't ordered the kulchi lamb yet, but if at least eight people ask for it by 6 pm Saturday, I'll make a call and see what they can do - if it's on the new menu.  The spiced up version was really quite good.

Aperitifs will be at the Old Drum from about 7.30 pm and then dinner will be at 8.30.  Please let me know either by e-mail in response to the members' meeting notice or using the feedback page on our web site whether you expect to make it.

As evidence that the restaurant has changed direction, there's a new web site including new menu and a promotions/offers page.  That looks enterprising, they've obviously got ideas, so let's look forward to a great evening on Tuesday 15th of January.

December meeting - Wed 12th - details confirmed

The table is booked for our December meeting!  We'll go to Paradise Balti on Wednesday 12th for our last get-together of 2018.  We chose a Wednesday night instead of Tuesday, just to make it a little more possible for Petersfield regulars to attend.

All the feedback from the November e-mail said that we should go to the Charles Street Tap for aperitifs.  So that's the decision. It can be found on the corner of Lavant Street and Charles Street; there's a Google map below.  We'll aim to be there from 7:30pm and then dinner is at 8:30pm.

We already have a total of nine takers for the 12 places that we booked, even before the e-mail notice is sent out, as well as from three who can't make it this time.  So I need hear urgently from everyone else who'd like a place so that we can increase the booking if necessary (and if possible). 

Please let me know either by e-mail in response to this members' meeting notice or using the feedback page on our web site, whether you expect to make it .
