Some of us went to the Calthorpe Arms last Thursday, to see if it
would be suitable for a future social meet.

Wasn't it Wednesday? Not that it's important, though.

- Function room is big enough; it's certainly at least the size of the
  area we generally squeeze ourselves into at the CoY, though it doesn't
  have the advantage of quieter sections to retreat to.  It's also not
  underground.  And we can have it for free.

I thought it smelt a bit funny, but it's probably just pubbish.

- The food's not great.  The omnivore food seemed to be all deep-fried,
  including Leon's steak.  The veggie option (stuffed roast marrow)
  wasn't bad, though.

I quite liked my food, but I'm not particularly worried about food quality.

Comments?

Thanks for writing this up.

I'm minded to go here for the next social, on the 8th of August,
despite the beer festival going on, because I think more people will go
to a pub social than to a pay-to-get-in event.

Speak now, or hold your peace.

I am more likely to go to a pub social than a pay-to-get-in event.
Even if the beer is better at the event.

However, there is only one of me and I don't speak for the silent majority
on this list.

I must comment the intrepid pub explorers for their noble sacrifices made
in the quest for finding a better social meeting location. But I'm not going
to sponsor them :-)

I would go to the beer festival, but I'm happy to stick with the
majority. We don't need Yet Another Heretics Group ;)
