Fox and Hounds does great beer, and food. Parking may be less than optimal. How many are we so far?

Probably needs a new thread. Job for tomorrow unless you want to instigate sooner? I'd guess half a dozen cars, so with SM WAGs and any children probably 15 or 20 people?

I just wish for once I was just round the corner..!! I have had to put up with a real ale at 7% and it was lovely, a rack of pork ribs to start, Salted beef as a main, finishing with a peanut brulee and excellent coffee. Red wine during the meal of course and I can still see the keys..!!

You're not the first to have said that, although it's always been fine for us.

There's a decent car park out the back, not marked out spaces so you can leave plenty of room. Often has some lovely motors parked in there.

It can get very busy inside but I can book tables and probably have the car park split so we can all park down the far end together depending on what time we get there, the earlier the better.

Well I've just got back from the Fleur for lunch, as always cracking food. I had the baked Camembert and a Rib Eye all washed down with a couple of pints of real ale, now sat on to sofa stuffed and relaxing before the fireworks tonight.

I mentioned to Chris and Ellie about having a meet up at the pub and they are well up for it.

The pub does get busy and serve food between 12 and 3 on a Sunday, depending on numbers I can sort out tables in either half of the pub.

I'm proposing either the 17th of November or the 1st of December, after that we are getting into the office Christmas party booking time and shopping days.

So if your interested I'll start a new thread and put it together.

1st may be a goer, but neither are great. Such is life :)

Set it up anyway, Ivon. It might become regular :)

It's the Christmas meal on the 7th that I sadly can't attend but if it's better could do the 15th of December so I'll put all 3 dates on the thread.
