Slightly cheeky post here...

The Mini club I'm a member of is looking for a different venue to hold our monthly meets at, and I was thinking about trying out the same place that you PHEA lot use

So - is it any good? Assumption says it must be alright if you have a meet there each month! Do they serve food on Sunday lunchtimes? What sort of menu is it there and what sort of prices? And I assume it has a decent sized carpark.

Cheers for any pointers!

It's very good and the landlord is very helpful. The only snag we're starting to run into, due to the popularity of our merry band, is size - the dining room seats about 30.

Then again, as you're the Mini group I expect you can get 60 in nuts

curse

Most of us have Binis anyway, so you'd probably get about 5 in

Do you tend to book first?

Cheers for the response

What about "The George" at Hintlesham nera Ipswich, landlords are mini enthusiasts. IIRC the Anglian Mini Club already meet there...

What if the Mini chaps turn up on the same weekend as us? Would we have to fight them for a chair? Oooh we could play musical chairs! hehe paperbag

As I used to have two MINIs - can I come along?

Our meets are on the second Sunday of each month, so shouldn't clash If not, I call fisticuffs!

I'm sure you'll be able to come along, I see you're a member on the ECMC forums already! Get to see your lovely S again. Looks stunning with the GP rep wheels.
