Christmas Lunch (at the Hen&Chicken) beware of imitation

Postby muley » Thu 06.10.2005, 09:08

OK, here’s the deal.

We can have our Xmas lunch at the Hen and Chicken.

Hen&Chicken
Upper Froyle
Alton Hants GU34 4JH ph. 01420 22115

I’ve asked them to pencil in lunchtime (12:30 p.m. start) on SUNDAY 18th December

(NOT Sat 17th as previously announced)

Final numbers and deposit have to be placed by end November.

Cost is GBP19.95 per person. Spouses and Sweethearts are welcome.

Please IM me or post here to signify your interest.

Cheers

Jim B

Might struggle to resist a Light Lemon Tart!

In the diary and should be good for this, will see if I can make it a team effort and have both cars present.

:(
would love to come however according to multimap the 201.4miles in each direction aswell as the possible 4 hours each way too makes it somewhat impractical.......
I hope you all have a smashing meal......mmmmm....food!!!!!
and it seems a decent price too!!!!
enjoy
cheers

Nigel!

Sacrificing the opportunity for one of you to have a drink purely for visual effect/one upmanship is despicable!

I'm open to suggestions on the number of "O"s, but it's plural not possessive so there's no apostrophe - you moron! :wink:

:P

Rob,

I'll ask. Worst case scenario is that you'll have to give me your stuffing and chipolata (ooo err missus)

Michelle is 'eating for two', anyway :)

Cheers

Chris, Rob, Nige,

What say we change the date to Sat the 10th Dec? / or Sun 18th Dec? Is that better/doable?

Cheers

Suday 18 Dec would work well for me and although I need to check a Sunday would probably improve the chances of me getting both cars there. Depending on the majority vote though I couldlso do Saturday 10 Dec.
