New Meet Pub

**Nobbie** · 25-02-2008, 12:05

Well after it's turned into a poo hole, mostly in the kitchen, we will be going to a new pub next month.

The ones i can think off the top or my head are:-

Toby Carvery - MK

http://www.toby-carvery.co.uk/toby_r...D1138%26c1%3D1

Old Red Lion
Bedford Road
Houghton Regis
Dunstable
LU5 6JR

My Favorite, plus i know it has a big car park

Crows Nest - Beefeater

Tring Hill
Tring
Hertfordshire
HP23 4LD

The Barn

Secklow Gate West - Beefeater
Milton Keynes
MK9 3BZ

Any other idea please throw in, please remember:-

Bigish, free car park,
Cheapish good food,
Non-posh
Central to the boundaries, i.e. Oxford and Northants.

i do like the old red lion, have been there many a time and also you get some meal deals on sundays.

olly6969 · 25-02-2008, 15:09

I up for a meet, if u dont mind a 18 year old coming lol!

**Nobbie** · 25-02-2008, 15:44

TBH, unless you have Halfords spoilers, Lexarse lights, or a bonnet vent the size of a small country, you should be okay.

Saying that, we are a friendly bunch, and won't hit you with sticks.

olly6969 · 25-02-2008, 16:08

olly6969 · 25-02-2008, 17:04

Lol, So what u guys normally do on the meetS?

astra_sri_andy · 25-02-2008, 18:03

Well, Aylesbury is an hour for us to get to and MK/Dunstable etc is further...at least an hour and a half to 2 hours.

Beenie · 25-02-2008, 18:22

I like the old red lion, as it's close. other than that mk is good for me.

olly6969 · 25-02-2008, 18:46

Ahh ive seen that corsa about on mk3oc, i wanna get them cleaning products man, How u doing beenie

nickyboy · 25-02-2008, 19:06

I vote for Tring, The Old Red Lion is an hour and half for me, John and 2 hrs for Becky, Andy, Ben etc.

Only prob with the Carvery although very cheap and ace food is that you have to wait ages for food especially on a Sunday.

astra_sri_andy · 25-02-2008, 19:11

Thing is I'm not sure I'd be willing to travel 2hrs just for pub food, Bex feels the same.

vaughanp · 25-02-2008, 19:29

The Charter
2 Rimmington Wy
Aylesbury, HP19 8AW
01296 336855

not expensive and u cant get anymore central if u tried

**jamied** · 25-02-2008, 20:00

Its an hour and a half for us..might be worth ringing a few of the pubs to see if we can get a deal with them???

astra_sri_andy · 25-02-2008, 20:03

If it's going to end up an hour and a half away it'll be quicker and easier for us to go to South Central meets.

**Nobbie** · 25-02-2008, 21:04

Blacksmith's Arms, Old Marlow Road, Handy Cross, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, HP10 9QD??

As said, open to offers, i'll try and pop to the charter, obviously i'll not enjoy testing them all!!

The one we used to go to, has been re-done and is now a high end Steakhouse so not sure if still suitable for us.

nickyboy · 25-02-2008, 22:02

Thinking of Marlow tho, about a mile down the road towards Marlow is another pub with huge carpark but buggered if i can rememebr what it is called

Edit, its called the Three Horseshoes.

Not working round there at the mo otherwise i'd go check it out

Im gonna be holding a meeting at our Marlow offices on Wednesday, give me the rd name & I'll go via the pub on the way home

Then I'll let u all know...

astra_sri_andy · 25-02-2008, 22:22

Marlow is even better.

I don't mean to be awkward...problem 'we've' got is the region itself. It's massive.

One place is easy for certain members, another is better for others.

TBH if I have to travel more than an hour it's not really worth it. South Central meets are closer even now, as they are 40 mins away, yet The Bell is an hour. Even if the meets were in Didcot/Oxford, Bex and I would still have to drive 45mins to get there.

Personally, I think we need to look at the region as a whole and maybe drop off the southern lot into 'South Central'.

Just my thoughts.
