After quite a few phone calls I have decided that the Christmas meal will be held at THE WOODMAN.
http://www.thewoodman-idehill.co.uk/

Its fairly central and has good road links to the SES area.

To make this a more sociable event at this festive time of year I have thought about making this an evening event, so that peoples other halves can come along and not be bored out off their brains standing round in a cold car park whilst we talk scoobs.

The meeting time will at 7.00pm.

Please let me know your thoughts about having a nice relaxed evening meal,
as opposed to a lunch time meet.

Nice one Tone do you want a lift????.:five:

Yes I sure do.:nod:

£19.95 pp :doubleup:


That includes 3 courses, the menu is not yet published but I have spoken to the Landlord and he assures me its special, it will soon be available on the pubs web site.
They also have a full menu alongside the Christmas one.

I am looking forward to this meeting.

Ok mate thats great.

ses christmas dinner 19th december
 

is there a travel lodge near the pub

Hi Will,

I have just spoken to the Landlord and he is on the case, unfortunately they dont have any accommodation at the pub. I have just googled Travel lodge there isnt one that close by.

Give us a couple of days. The Landlord has said he will contact me with some info.

cheers ian its just that i dont fancy driving back the same nite

There should be plenty of places in and around Sevenoaks which is only about 3-4 miles away.

I fancy a go at this...would want a few sherbet's though.

Sounds like a plan with staying over.I am working on babysitters at the moment so will add to the list when i know.

Like the sound of staying over and having a bevy or three.

few beers sounds good, maybe i can convince the mrs to drive home :whistle:

Not sure whether we are at the theatre that evening........checking in progress as tickets were ordered in the summer so can't remember.........

Well done for organising this Ian !!!

We cant make it as we have made plans for that weekend unfortunately:doubledown: but we are organising a dinner at coopers on the 12th December with ss.

Blimey, it must be Christmas! :eek::drive:

Sounds like it'll be a nice night out!

I do hope so.

I think it will a nice thing to do as it will be getting close to Christmas.:doubleup::santawave::santawave:

Should we be thinking about making this an afternoon thing, i have had quite a few people that cant make th evening but would love to come along if it was afternoon.

I thought that it would be more sociable to have an evening meal, so people can dress up a little if they wished to and celebrate the coming of Christmas.

But if people would prefer a lunch time meeting please let me know on this thread, as I said on my original post.

We obviously want as many people as possible at the meeting so I will go with the flow, the decision as they is yours. :doubleup:

If its lunch then we can come

I just think we should cater for the majority. And the majority seem to be saying afternoon.

I am happy doing either, but we have to consider what most people want to do.

:agreed: Mr.Worzel,

But where are the majoritry? Only one person has made any comments to me.


Everyone please feel free to comment on this . :doubleup:

Who feels it would be good to have an evening meal ?

Who would prefer a lunch time Christmas meal?

i still like the evening idea personally, we have lunch time meets all the time so why not do something different this time round?

And Claires driving = i'm :beer::beer:

Please can we have your comments.:doubleup:

Happy to do either but evening dinner would be nice

yes please:chug:

Can I sit on his lap?????

Even though we cannot come due to my works christmas do, we think its a great idea and makes a big change to have an evening meet, top man Big E for a change from the norm, hope you all have a great time.:10::doubleup:

Bring on france:doubleup:

Can I feel a need to get the black tie out???:whistle:

I'm hoping to come but depend on if there is somewhere to stay near by as I don't fancy driving back!

I have just spoken to the Landlord and he is on the case to find a B&B, close by. :nod:

It is only a suggestion but would you not be better of finding some were you can stumble into say like a brewers fayre with a holiday inn attached or a beafeater with a travel lodge ?

I am always open to suggestions. :doubleup:

I have thought of that, CJ.

Personally I prefer home made food rather than mass produced, and seeing as its the Christmas meal whats better than a nice country pub? I agree that if it had a travel lodge next door it would be even better.

This meeting is not fixed in concrete as I have said members suggestions are welcome.

Not keen on the food at either type of place but if its about friends and drink I think th food is passable it would be a easy option

as long as there is aclohol :whistle:

Food is really good at this venue, shame about the lack of hotel but I'm sure anyone wanting to come will have a good time... Drinking or not :doubleup::doubleup::doubleup:

Spoke to big e other night all sounds good to me, good luck peole think me and Jaffa are on the beer

OK I'll say yes to this Sian will come too but ideally we'd like somewhere with a crashing option, it's a long drive back and a long way to go with no beer at the end!

Been looking more closely and the most sensible hotel option I could find was in Sevenoaks and was £120 a person - with a £10/15 taxi ride to get there from the Pub without working out what to do with cars makes this a very expensive night out!
