Default SES. CHRISTMAS DINNER 19th December




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.

Yes I sure do.

£19.95 pp


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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
