July Monthly Meet Thursday 7/7/16

Who went? Was it good? Menu, please and verdict?

 

I waved as I rode pass on my way to Wessons. If I finished work earlier I would of stopped to say "Hi" before going there. I only saw 2 bikes parked at the pub so I am guessing not a big turnout - but that was to be expected with the clash of events so close together, amazing coincidence (or not). . Anyhow it was a good turn out at Wessons, banter was good as was the coffee and no-one faulted the food or service - so a big thumbs up for them

 

@lammyR6 I don't mind Wednesday or Thursday, it's just that Wednesday's has been THE day for such a long time that Thursday threw me...and I had organised something else ... :/ My fault I can't read or follow threads

 

Wot, no puds? The meal isn't complete without p... Oh. I get it. You DID eat pudding but are keeping quiet lest I feel left out. Thank you for being so sensitive. SECB is a caring, sharing club!

 

was a very pleasant evening, good food and company.., I had scampi in a basket with chips and forgot to even look at the pudding menu. venue was rather nice clean and well looked after, tucked away like roadie said we would all be able to be our usual sensible selves without disturbing the pool playing locals.
no problems with parking as was all on a level and easy access.
outside area looked OK for those that smoke without inhaling the copious quantities of dope smelt elsewhere.

 

Some parts of your report, Lisa, are of no interest to me (dope!) but everything else sounds really good Glad you had a nice time

 

you must have missed it before then ?
I don't smoke at all, particularly don't do drugs either at the previous place we had been to inside and out smelt of dope,and sometimes the good would depend on how high the chef was. fortunately I wasn't party to a bad day although I believe lammy was with something they named chicken pie.
at least with new ownership the aptly named by locals ' coke and pikey' might regain its name of oak and Ivy... and the new owner seemed very nice and accommodating.
let's see what our next visit holds for us there, the bonus with that place is I don't have to get a baby sitter
