I can heartily recommend the pub at woodbastwick...durrrr can't remember the name but it's on the same site as the woodfordes brewery and it is truly a great place for beer and food. not sure about the wenches though

[iandbeech]

With any suggestions, if you supply contact details, I`ll have ring round ok

[Nick P]

yeah, I'll vouch for that....but the best food in the area is the 'Recruiting Sgt' in Coltishall village....anything from Snake & Pigmey pudding to fancy fish dishes........

I`m getting a headache - that`s 27 posts and 27 different times and locations

How about all the drive thru McD's in the area

At least that way we cover most poeple and get a bit of spin out in the cars. Strawberry shake anyone ?

Sit in the passenger seat of my FTO and you will be having a chocolate shake matey

Have we got a date yet?

[Nick P]

yep, some time between now and july 2005

Ok then, I had better take a lead here or else nothing will happen! After careful consideration and suggestions from you motley lot and based on where those showing interest would be coming from, I have concluded that The Flying Fortress is the still the fairest location so all can have a drive (the overnighter idea will have to be shelved as it`s too short notice - consider for next year or join in the proper BT&P) so I`m going to get info. I`ll find out about two dates - mid December on a Sunday and between Xmas and New Year as Big-M suggested

[iandbeech]

Right then - listen up

I`ve done this to get something rolling - comments (probably) welcome

I have provisionally booked some tables (as space short) at The Flying Fortress on Sunday the 12th December at around 1pm. Postcode IP31 2QU for www.multimap.com

Rough menu (if you`d like me to fax it to you, let me know your number):

Starters:

Veg soup
Ardennes Pate
Thai style prawns
Mushrooms stuffed with Stilton

Main course:

Roast Turkey
Roast beef
Salmon Supreme
Medallions of Pork
Mediterranean veg pancake

Pud:

Christmas Pudding
Choice from trolley
Cheese & bics

Other:

Coffee/Tea with choc mint
Christmas Cracker - if she turns up

Cost per person @ £18.95ea

It will need to be a £5 deposit from each in order to make a definate ok.

This menu will available between Xmas and the New Year so it could be done over the holiday if prferred. All that want to do this must let me know in order to get firm numbers - or it won`t happen

No worries Big-M, it`s only provisionally booked - in panic when told table limitatons today, in fact the 19th is available as well but I`m happy to do a holiday one, let`s see what the others prefer ok

[iandbeech]

Oh dear - I mention money and suddenly this thread is more dead than a Dodo!

Shall I just forget about booking anything then and leave it as a drink over the Christmas hols and take a chance on eating?

[wryka]

Sounds good to me.
As people get booked to see Old Aunties and other relatives etc.
A lunch time drink sounds just the ticket after all those lavender smelling hugs and kisses - that's getting not giving lavender smelling kisses.
Sometime after Boxing Day but before the New Year as a suggestion ?

[quote=iandbeech]Right then - listen up is The Flying Fortress in the middle of EA area!! Phil

Not accurately but it looks(ed) like there are a couple from Essex so I figured it would mean a 40-60 mile drive for most - and The Flying Fortress has been used throughout this year successfully exactly because of that - Tuxman and his Ultima have made it from Peterborough as an example

Looks like a drink between boxing day and New year is best bet so I`ll put up another post for that soon ok Personally I`m easy (after a few drinks ) so if another venue gains the most votes, I`ll be there!!

Will be travelling from the Riviera so dont make it to far oop north...

I'll second that. It's the 'Fur & Feather'. Haven't been for a couple of years but it's a favourite haunt for people sailing on the broads. Excellent home cooked food complete with home made beer .

Seeing how whiskey distilleries on the west coast of Scotland isn't exactly central to our region, thought I'd triangulate the map. Anyone know anywhere near here?

Why it does look like The Flying Fortress is slap bang central in your triangle!

Tell more about The Fur & feather!
