Diners
Eat your way around the world was the original proposal for our lunchtime dining group. For people who enjoy eating out, and trying different foods in a sociable and convivial atmosphere with friends old and new! The group meets monthly on alternating Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, visiting cafes and restaurants to experience the many different cuisines available. Varying the days gives everyone a chance to join us, even those with commitments on certain days.
In addition to changing the meeting days, we also vary the food choice, rotating through European, Asian and Rest of the world cuisines.
The group occasionally meets in the early evening instead of lunchtime and last year we also organised a couple of Sunday Lunches which proved popular with our members.
The group was started in June 2022, and currently has over 55 members, with anywhere between 9 and 22 members taking part each month.
We have now tried English, French and Italian (European), Indian, Vietnamese and Thai (Asian) and Mexican, Lebanese, Caribbean, Syrian and South American (Rest of the world) restaurants.
Many of the places we visit have "lunchtime special" offers, with reasonable prices for a midweek meal. Expect to pay somewhere between £10 and £20 for a main course, excluding drinks. Actual cost will vary and will depend upon your food choice, and the venue. Vegetarian and Vegan choices are normally available, and both the number and variety of those dishes on offer continues to improve.
Should you decide to join the group, there is no expectation that you will come to every meal offered. Simply join us when you want to, and feel free to pick and choose those meals that take your fancy, or fit in your diary. Members are encouraged to suggest new venues or food choices, and help others share in something, perhaps unusual, that you have enjoyed.
