A very enjoyable evening. Allycat, Floating Onion, Hibbs, Strafer Jack, Georgia, Helbel and Katie1812.


Helbel was a welcome first timer and Katie dragged herself here from deepest Norfolk, so was able to attend her memorial meeting.


We met in The Draft House, an enjoyable experience, some interesting Belgium beers available and an American Ale is promised. Nice ambience although some still regret the loss of the Black Cherry. There was some debate as to whether the prices were a tad high or not. I cant help thinking free WIFI would help boost their daytime trade. The menu looked interesting and there were a number of people eating.


On to the Surma. There was only one table of diners when we arrived and so we were it for most of the evening. The food was nice. My Onion Bhajis were crispy and tasty, although the portion was if anything a little large. I had a good Chicken Madras with a Brinjal side dish but couldnt finish it. The remainder was boxed up and taken home.


Service seemed rather slow, given that we were the only people in there. Plenty of food and drink was consumed for ?25 each including a tip.


Five of us wobbled over to the Bishop for digestifs.


Others may wish to comment about their choices at the Surma.


Looks like 15/5 for the next meeting. Venue TBC.

Onion bhajiis were nice and crispy, chicken rezalla had good flavour, nicely spiced and the tandoori roti was delicious. Service was pleasant but the food did seem to take a while arriving to the table between courses, making it a later eve than expected. Great company and conversation though!


Tried to break away from the Cobra/Kingfishers and opted for Mongoose instead ('for those in the know'...apparently) which went well with my curry. Brewed in Bedford though...


Good eve and made it safely back to Peckham eventually. Cheers all.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks, it was great to meet you all!

Enjoyed the curry - sorry for accidentally digging into yours too Hibbs!

Prawn and potato balls (!) were fab and I liked the amount of fresh green chillies in my rezalla - yep, am definitely a chill head!

Hope to come along on May 15 with my +1

Cheers! (tu)

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      @Sue now that you've been provided with an elegant sufficiency (most usefully from @Dogkennelhillbilly ) of evidence of sectarianism in the Gorton and Denton campaign, has your support for the Greens changed in any way? Genuinely interested.

      Another recommendation for Niko who identified a leak in my lavatory and sorted it.  Helpful and good to deal with.

      The SSRS app (Safer seas and rivers service), is worth downloading. It gives you real time updates on water safety / sewage discharges. It's pretty eye opening / alarming, how regularly areas are not safe, but reassuring when you do get the 'all clear'.

      Dirty Business on Channel 4

      The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit.
