Lewis Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 I hope you get a few more people to join you at the last minute. I did the course in Sheffield. If anybody is waivering, it is very professional and much easier to learn these things in the company of other omleteers. Hopefully, I know some people don't venture into SS but might notice it in the get togethers section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurmurf Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm definitely going to be there with hellymisscloud and ED for the pub and i might join in on part of the course. Does anyone know if Alison is doing the sausage making part of the course too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compostwoman Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well the thing I signed up to mentioned an extra £10 for the sausage making? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 YAY! fabulous sausages - and great fun to make (aren't they, Claret? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Right - we've been and checked out the Falkland Arms, my son came with us and kept quoting from the League of Gentlemen It is a nice pub but the food is somewhat expensive and they don't do chips - better suited for an evening out? The info for the Masons indicates it might be even more of a gastro pub than the Falkland so perhaps not what we're looking for? I don't know who is coming to the pub and at what times but if I'm going at lunchtime then I do like a sandwich and chips! If people are going to be there later on then that doesn't matter so much. There is a pub nearby in Hook Norton which may be more suitable? The Pear Tree - Clare has been there with us before....... http://www.hooky-pubs.co.uk/pubs/location_maps/pear_tree.html Any ideas? - anyone coming?

laurmurf Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think we'll (hellymisscloud, the lurker and I) want lunch before we go on the course (the girls may very well want to stay there too while I do gruesome things) so I'm happy for pub lunch Before and pub supper After!

ClaireG Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've just had a flash of insperation That doesn't happen very often My Gran had a family "do" earlier on in the year and we went to The Horse and Groom at Milcombe. It's a nice pub and the food is good to. I'm not sure if they are open all day, is the Pear Tree? so not sure how suitable it would be. I can find out more if you want me to as it's one of the pubs Dad supplies with wine and he has known Richard and Rachel the owners for years.

The Dogmother Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sorry for the late reply; only just got back from Devon. The Falkland Arms doss bar food - snacks and that sort of stuff, or at least it did a fortnight ago! Not been to the Mason's recently, but it has had an overhaul. Did used to do snacks, but all that may have changed if they've 'got smart' Red Lion in Bloxham is good fro food, as is the Joiners Arms (or is it Weavers Arms?) in Bloxham and both of those are nearer. I won't be able to make it until the end of the day though. I know that Jude wanted to come along too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The Falkland does do light meals - £5.95 fot a baguette. I wouldn't think that people on the early couses will want to hang around until all courses have finished will they? The Horse and Groom at Milcombe has plenty of parking, that's all I know as we've driven past. I thought of the Pear Tree because it sells Carl's favourite beer - and the Brewery and Brewery shop are just up the road I'm sure he'll cope wherever we go.

The Dogmother Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think we'll all need a drink by the end of the day! I had alovely ploughmans at the falklands the other week, but that may just have been a one-off. I'm happy to go wherever everyone is happy with - I'll be too knackered by the end of the day to mind too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaireG Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Mum and Dad are due back from hols tomorrow. I'll contact them tomorrow and get some more details re Milcombe. I'm sure their prices are reasonable to. So are we looking at an early evening timeslot for most and possibly luchtime for some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little cluckers Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I've been watching this thread with interest and I think I might have to butter OH up and 'ask permission' to join you all Been wanting to learn how to do this for a while and I think to do it in the company of a few fellow Omleteers would be a bonus I'll let you know.....(fingers crossed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
