                                                                         LUNCH GROUP

 

The aim of this Group is to provide an opportunity for members to meet and socialise in an informal, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, to get to know each other – and to have a good lunch. The Group will try out different restaurants and cuisines, based on members’ suggestions.

 

Number of Members – ca 15. There are no fixed rules on membership and attendance tends to fluctuate, but there is always a good turnout.

 

Meeting Dates: Usually, the first Monday of each month, though this may vary.

The Group will meet again on 4th November, in Bella Italia, Marriotts Walk, Witney.
 

Beverley tries to find a range of different venues for meetings of the Group.

 

On 10th October, the Group visited the Windrush Inn in Witney, which is a great place, with friendly and attentive staff and delicious food. We all enjoyed our lunch and most of us found the dessert menu irresistible.

The Group stated the 2024-25 season with lunch at The Fishes, North Hinksey on a lovely day in early September.

On 1st July eleven members had lunch at the Café at Bampton Garden Plants, which we all agreed was a great choice. The food was plentiful and tasty, the staff were friendly and attentive, and – for anyone with gaps in their garden borders -  there was the opportunity for some serious shopping.

The Group started 2024 with a visit to The Maybush, which is situated in a beautiful spot by the river at Newbridge. The venue had been threatened with flooding during recent heavy downpours but, fortunately, the water had subsided in time for the visit. It is hoped to return during more clement weather, to see the place at its best.

This year’s Christmas lunch was held on Monday 4th December, at The Turnpike in Yarnton. Twenty-two members attended, the food was delicious and plentiful, and we all had a lovely time.
 
 
 



 
 

 
 

 


Beverley is always on the look-out for interesting venues for meetings. The place chosen for our get-together on 2nd October certainly came within that category. The Old Flight House, Weston on the Green, is described as “an antiques, vintage and interior centre”. Behind a deceptively simple entrance there is room after room where unit owners display their wares. We found the café light and comfortable, the staff helpful and friendly, and the food delicious.
