Just a quick straw poll for those interested in getting together for a Sunday lunch towards the Christmas end of the year. It will be close to the M25 for easy access and have a reasonable car park. I thought we'd try an alternative to the Grasshopper, but still friendly and good food.

If a venue hasn't been decided yet, this place always looks quite good for a meet, very easy from the M4 and M40. A little less south than the grass hopper but nice and close for me!

Nah, Chef and Brewer reheat meals from frozen, not food prepared and cooked on the premises.

Not eaten in one of their places since they gave 3 out of 4 of us eating in their Aldershot place food poisoning. They won't get another chance at finishing me off thanks.

This is great that there is real enthusiasm for this
I propose The Rose & Crown, Dunton the reviews are favourable, there is a good sized car park and it is easy to get to for most there has been no favouritism in location, it just looked fairly central. There is even a 20% discount available on the food per table
The menu seems good and varied.
The date I would like to book the venue for, is Sunday lunch 1st December. I hope this is OK with all? but I have to put a pin in the calendar somewhere.
I hope it will get all you "Bah, humbugs" in a festive mood for the month ahead
Please can you mark you attendance with a "confirmed" if you can make this date, thank you.

The Shire Horse car park is the venue for the (in)famous photo shoot of the matt green, black boot, 5 seater 'LE' Coupe for sale and discussed on another thread. Maybe the owner will show up, or maybe it is still there?

I know I am a noob to the forum, but this pub is very nice and the owner is very friendly (2012 landlord of the year) and a petrolhead (as you can see from the website).

He would love to have a load of Coupes in his car park. But we would have to book well in advance as seating indoors is limited - we'd probably own the place for the evening.

Wherever the venue, count me in please.

Hi, 1st time on here. I`d like to pop along on the 1st of December if that`s OK.

so your be up nice and early ready for the meet

Presumably it won't be a strict Coupe meeting as I will probably have SORNed the old thing by then?! As may several others on the list?
At least I can assure you it will be Italian!

Ross,
Shall I contact MrT for a reunion?

Hi Chris,
By all means contact MrT, more the merrier anybody heard from Tim of late?
I too will be in an "alternative" vehicle (not Italian, family car), but it does have a very clever British designed engine to be proud of and what with the whole tribe to transport in comfort the LE has now been tucked up cosy in it's shrine.

Please can names be confirmed over this weekend, as I'm on holiday after Monday and I'd like to book a provisional number of seats before I go away for a week. Just copy and paste the list into a new post and add "confirmed" after you name (make sure you put numbers of your party down too ) and I will then know how many to book the restaurant table for. If names are added and not confirmed I cannot guarantee you a seat at THE table/s
Thanks for the positive feedback regarding this event

Count me out for now, got a lot going on at the moment and can't guarantee attendance, i will know closer to the day if i can make it so it will probably be a case of showing up on the day and eating everyones leftovers

Depending on my work schedule it could maybe make it

Thanks to whoever 'confirmed' our attendance it saved me a job! Also I have sent a message to Alan (MrT) to see if we can persuade him- I'll let you know.

Put me down as a possible, will be with the family too if I can make it

Right guys, provisionally booked a tables for 20 in the conservatory for 12:30 -1pm we have a 3 hour sitting. Please can those who have committed, check numbers in their group and amend as and when you are sure of attendance There is room for 35 in the conservatory, which is where we'll be seated. So there is plenty of space for others still to attend. But, please continue to "confirm" you name and add numbers a you go. I will need to update the restaraunte of final numbers closer to the time. Also can you have a look at the menus and decide if you would like a Festive meal or one from the standard menu. It would be really helpful to the restaurant to know rough numbers of the type of meal prior to the day of booking.
I know it seems forward to think of all this now, but as Christmas approaches, there'll be plenty of other things to be distracted by
We are booked as a group party under my name: "Ross Charman" also as a reference of the "Fiat Coupe Club"
Any Q's pm me

Apologies, but I am now unlikely to attend as I am attending an Xmas 'do' the night before and I doubt I will be in any fit state to drive to this the next morning. If I do wake up sober and anywhere near home and decide to come, I will be fighting James over any left-overs.

Ross,

Hi all,
I've been contacted by the Rose & Crown to ask if we can decide wether well be having the Festive Menu or the Main Menu?
They said that they really need to know if it is the Festive menu you'll be having over anything else, as this has to be prepared separately. This will greatly assist the kitchen staff and lead to better service on the day. If you wish to eat anything from the other menu's that is no problem, as long as we dont all choose the same thing

PLEASE can those who have committed to this meal take a look at the menu's and at least make a decision from which menu you will be ordering from on the day
I have sweet talked the staff into not taking a deposit for this booking from me, as this would be a nightmare to work out on the day. All I ask from you is that you decide upon your preference for your meal on the day. I'll need to let the kitchen know about a week ahead of the 1st December. So could we have answers by the weekend of the 23rd November please, thank you

Just post a "Menu" preference for those in your party and I'll do all the collating of the info.

P.S.Childrens Menu also available

Point of order Mr. Chairman (or should that be Charman!),

It appears that the Fixed Price Menu is NOT available on a Sunday. Have they made an exception or do we ignore?

Festive menu for us please

Well spotted Chris
Just checking someone was paying attention
I think we can assume that the Fixed price is NOT available until confirmed.
I'll deleat it from the option of menu's

Hi Alan,
Glad to have you onboard, choice noted

Thanks Ross, looking forward to seeing you all.

Hi

Had already posted saying I am now very unlikely to make it - Xmas party night before & unlikely to be in a fit state to drive or close to home on the Sunday morning. Will be craving for a Turkey roast though by lunchtime no doubt.

To all those who have not responded to pm's or requests for menu choices, you'll have to take pot luck on the day. I'm sure they'll have a few Xmas menus spare, I just can't guarantee it though.
Any TBC's or undicided's, please confirm either presence or menu choice throughout this week please.
Thanks, Ross.

Is this the correct post code for the venue: TN13 2TH??

and what time are we all thinking of meeting up ?

yes Hanny thats the right postcode , full address - The Rose & Crown, London Road, Dunton Green, Kent, TN13 2TH

Hanny, are you thinking of attending?

So 10am then

Iain, are you casting dispersions about my time keeping sir? Is this to ensure I make it there for lunch?

all i'm saying is that it will take you alot longer to get there in the scooby

so what time are most aiming to get there for ?

Fixed it for you

I was going to come in the C-max 1.0T 3 cylinder, an interesting and plucky little motor. But as most have not seen the Fozzer, I'll come in that. At 250bhp she's no slouch

lol , so what time ????

It's quite close to me (only in Crawley) and it would be interesting to see some Coupes and new owners. Plus if Beggers pulls his finger out and turns up he is going to need me to help push start his motor

Just need to run it by the misses when I get back from Denmark

Oh and if you guys don't mind a German car attending!

Nah not at all, I'll be in a Scoobaru
Quite a few owners will have SORNed their coops for winter now anyway, like me
Could you let me know if are going to attend, so I can add extra places on to the booking. Also if you'd like the Xmas menu, let me know that too please.
Regards, Ross

I reckon 12 o'clock onwards would be a sociable time to meet and chew the fat before we sit down and do the same

Sorry for the late reply myself and bluemeanie are going to have to pull out because we have been dicked to live in muddy cold holes until Saturday night and may not be back in time. If we are then we will shoot down and say hello.

Does anyone know if they allow dogs? cant see anything on their website.......

I doubt it being a restaurant & a pub. I've got call and give numbers, so I can ask then. He/she could always wait in the car

Great to see so many people coming along!

We will not be in the Coupe but one of two Alfas. Either Jean's Spider if weather is tolerable or the sick 159 ti so that the Brains Trust can give me a diagnosis- I think it may not be a water problem now! Free drinks if you can cure the problem!

Mostly looking forward to seeing old and new friends- we'll be there after 12:00.

Peugeot 306 cabby for me...will there be any Coupes there at all?

I'll be coming in my one.

i'll be in my coupe too

It's always good when *someone* turns up in a coupe; at least we know we're at the right place.

The last couple of meets I've turned up in the Quanturbo, but unfortunately a critical part is waiting some welding, as is most of the coupe...

I'll probably bring mine, otherwise a Grande Punto.

Can you get that from Starbucks or Costa ............

I’ve PM'd a few people but surely we can get more - double the qty should be the norm for such a prestigious forum and elitism ownership of such a true modern classic.
I’m sure there are a few people who are reading this post and thinking if they should or should not………if I can turn up after years away I’m sure you’ll be safe………..saying that I hope you guys at the meet are going to ‘gentle’ with my lack of up-to-date knowledge with the Coupe, I'm a very shy and a tiny bloke who jumps at shadows…..be gentle…………

Hi Hanny,
Glad to have you onboard & back in UK. We'd be happy to welcome all new faces, but can you ensure all parties wishing to dine with us are registered with the forum please & have added there names to the cofirmed seats at the table
Re: dog question, no, sorry, not in restaurant. Hope that sort of helps
Regards, Ross.

And don't step on his blue suede shoes!

No worries matey - there might be a couple late arrivals but by the what they said they would not be dining so I didnt pass on their names, my intent was to PM should anyone of said that they wanted to eat as I know your trying to keep on top - hope thats okay I know it can be a bit a a nightmare to organise

I can see how this meet is going to go......... ..... enough from the cheap seats please

Sorry chaps, won't be able to make this one...... Have a great time !!

Just me now, no kids, but if it's any consolation I'll bring my diagnostic reader...

Missing this one too
Enjoy all

Good to meet up had a great time....a bloody nice roast too. Cheers Ross for organising another good social event.

Thanks to all who attended today. I hope you all enjoyed the get together? Even if there were a few hospitality issues. I enjoyed the food and it went down well on our table. It was good to see the youngest of the party getting on well together
Sorry I was late, bloody satnavs! Next time I'll do it old style and glance at the map prior to departure the M25 was lovely at a leisurely 50mph, when your late! Aaahhh!
Anyway, moving swiftly on, good to see some of the usual suspects and chat to members not met before.
Have a Merry Festive Seasonand don't forget to get a pressie for the Coupe in you life

Best wishes, Ross.

Thanks Ross.

Cheers Ross - sorry it was so late before we got to talk!

Thanks Ross, good to meet you all

Apologies I wasn't there. Got side tracked into doing something else by Becky

Thanks again Ross, sorry I had to run, I was getting grief off a guy I bought some brembo's off!
