Christmas meal

**mike hayward** · 05-10-2003 21:23

Before i go sending any letters out i would like to put it to the members first,

would everyone be happy with a meal in the Harvestor again or go elsewhere?
the menu seems ok but iwas more dissapointed with the staff last year.

thoughts on a postcard please well ok a reply.

**Tefal** · 05-10-2003 21:35

depends on the date, as ill be going to the Mk1 Astra OC crimbo meet and if they clash ill go to that one not the mig one

If the dates dont match then ill go to both

**mike hayward** · 05-10-2003 21:48

The date will be Sunday 7th December.

**Brett** · 05-10-2003 21:58

maybe a 'proper' pub in the area would be a better idea?

the food at harvester was awful last year.

If Adam/Jason know somwehere in the South Somerset/North Devon area thats got a good reputation, maybe we could go there?

**Gr@vel** · 06-10-2003 08:07

mmmm ... maypole ......

**adamSRi** · 06-10-2003 09:23

indeed, food in the harvester was quite crappy i thought. it was like a microwave meal lmao

hungry horse make do very nice food, as does the master thatcher around the corner from me.

**LEE69** · 06-10-2003 09:54

Me and aj.
Try some where else mike,also for the monthly meet,also doesnt have to be Taunton.

**EstherSRi** · 06-10-2003 18:20

Ill be up for it, dont mind where we eat, but preferably not the harvester again!

**Tefal** · 06-10-2003 18:31

there is a hungery horse in taunton and ive heard the rumwell inn is sposed to be really really good for food.

I have go for an explore around that area and try and find a gooden, i know the pub at the end of my lane does really nice food tho, especially the black cherry brandy sundaes

**Joekont** · 07-10-2003 18:11

I'm up for it.

But not the Harvester I reckon Mike.

Food was crap for the money last year.

And Lee's right. It don't have to be in Taunton...

But if you know the sort of numbers there are then that gives a better idea for phoning around places to see what deals they can do.

And I reckon everyone should pay a £10 deposit for their place. That way, you won't get let down with the numbers!

the hungry Horse in Burnham-On-sea is also very good, its prices are very good to iirc.

Cant see any problems arising with the one in Taunton either.

if theres sopace gfor everyone, I think that might be a suitable venue

small carpark/small pub

**Tefal** · 09-10-2003 21:07

The one near creech castle?

**Gr@vel** · 10-10-2003 11:19

hare and hounds, just outside honiton ... or is that too far out the way? --> vvgood food ...

the barn owl exeter ...joe should be able to tell you which junction its off (exeters last northboud one)

**Tefal** · 10-10-2003 22:25

oh what about the nutwell lodge (i think thats what its called), on the way from exeter to exmouth near the military base

**adamSRi** · 11-10-2003 08:11

how about a return to admirals landing in bridgwater.

**Brett** · 11-10-2003 18:33

yeah the food there was good, there was plenty of room in the pub and also enough space for all those cars that attended the mega meet 2 years ago!

If you want the number/info on christmas melas etc I can get it - Im in Bridgewater on Wednesday for a job interview

**adamSRi** · 11-10-2003 18:34

yeh get it brett
i thought that place was an ace venue.

**mike hayward** · 13-10-2003 17:23

good venue though if iirc it was difficult to get to in a convoy split up a few times.

If i could ask people to PM me with some details venue and possibly a phone number would be superb, thanks.

mig meet venue see other thread.

Harvester i could not agree more on unwelcome atmosphere and poor food, what about the new pub adam? any details please.

Mike

well we didnt even get to give it a try as rds said it was crap but hey.

hungry horse would be my best bet. food is really good there too. carpark is large, and is easy to get to. would mean though that you will not meet at taunton northbound, as to get there easily, you get off at junction 26 wellington and take the road into taunton as its just on your left as you come in.

for those not knowing the way, coming from north somerset, could meet me at taunton southbound.

easy to find as you stay on one road.

**Tefal** · 13-10-2003 18:12

i wont be attending so i dont care, going to the mk1 astra club meet in birmingham
