Dinner after the Smart Festival (2012) ?

(1/2) > >>

LadyV:
I have been thinking about after The Smart Festival.

Normally we head off to The Hand and Spear pub: http://www.handandspear.co.uk/

This pub has excellent car park facilities and is only about 1.5 miles away from Mercedes Benz World. I know last year (2011) there were some major issues with regards to the 'buffet' lunch that we all agreed to try...basically there wasn't enough food to go around and because two people out of about fifteen were vegetarians, there was more veggie food than anything else (please don't be offended Mr Singh- there were other issues that people complained about too!) At £10-£15 per head, it wasn't what we were expecting. I could go on, but for those of you that were there, you know what happened.

I wrote to complain and since then we were invited back to try some food from their main menu. I have to say I am very impressed- the food from the main menu is very reasonably priced, declious and you get a lot of food too...well enough for everyone really! Plus the place is under new managment and they are very keen to have us back every year.

I am happy to arrange for everyone to come to this pub again for the reasons suggested above, or if you would prefer to try somewhere new, can we have some suggesions? Please ensure that any suggestions have adequate parking facilities.

If you would like me to make the arrangements, just ask!

Thank you!

Hello guys,

Any comments about the above post? Are we interested in having dinner afterwards? If so I need numbers to arrange it!

Problemchild:
I'm thinking it will be a handful of people at the most so should we just play it by ear??

Fox:
Hard to book a table or area in a restaurant if you don't know how many want to come along. I would rather people said yes or no than just twiddled thumbs and 'played it by ear'.

Problemchild:
Well no from me then :(

I will have no idea of what I will need to be doing that evening, if the wife and Jacob are coming etc.

In my opinion, locate the nearest harvester and plan to go there after.
