OK, so the last thread decided that we're going to do it... but I'm a bit lost trying to read through and sort out what's what, so if you'd like to come please sign up here to give me an idea of numbers and I'll get a space/table booked.


Details:


Sat 12th Dec

8pm onwards

PLOUGH PUB (near Dulwich Library)


The more the merrier!


Pippa

Is anyone with a huge bump going? I'll only get dead jealous of all your Cosmo (etc) drinking if i don't have a 'lime and soda' partner. I'd love to join you but might join you for a January one otherwise - then I can have a drink or two and let my hair down more.

Would love to come, but am driving back from Bicester late on 12th so though my heart is willing my flesh will definitely be weak. I'll raise a mug of Baileys & hot choc to you all when I'm safely home & snuggled up in front of 'Casualty' (my secret addiction), and wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

No bump ... but I'm not a great drinker and might even be driving, so don't worry.... come along!!

Around 13 (give or take) so far - anyone else?


If you don't sign up please still come along if you fancy it, it's just a casual meet up - come for a drink, have some food if you want to (I will eat before I come out as we eat early with the kids in the weekend), put some faces to names!

OK, an update... the Magnolia aren't able to accommodate us on Saturday, so I've got us a space reserved at the Plough. Bit of a random choice (hope it's OK for everyone), based purely on the fact that it's one of the few pubs I've been to recently, has quite a nice vibe without being too mad, and there's plenty of room. And also the lady I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and helpful!


We have a space (not sure if it will be a table, or maybe one of the groups of sofas) reserved for us from 8pm, under "EDF Mums" and my name - Pippa.


If you're coming along and don't know anyone feel free to PM me for my mobile number, and I'll make sure I meet you as you arrive. I'll comfortably be there for 8pm, will try to arrive a bit earlier. Feel free to invite any friends you have that fancy a night out.

Thanks Pickle, I like the vibe at the Plough, glad we're not going somewhere so loud we can't talk (great if dancing, but not so good for first time socialising)!


I too should be there from 8pm, mobile number below if anyone wants/needs to call me.

Hi Pickle,


Are you trying to reserve the room upstairs at The Mag or just an area on the ground floor? Just out of curiosity really because sometimes they let people have it if the group is large, but suspect they are busy for xmas socials.


Anyhoo, many thanks for arranging the Plough and look forward to seeing/meeting all the ED ladies (think I only know a few of you... Pickle, Fuschia, Molly!)


Best,

-C

    • Their food is lovely, but unfortunately the waiting time for it is sometimes so long, even when they don't seem particularly busy, that we no longer go there. We used to just accept it, but seeing people who came in long after us getting their food before us was the last straw after we had waited well over half an hour, if memory serves. It might have been nearly an hour, but I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. We paid for our drinks (which had come quite quickly) and went to have lunch elsewhere. We reckoned we would get our food quicker that way. We were very  hungry by this time! It's a shame, because we would like to support them as they are a small local business with great food, but there seems to be some problem on the kitchen side (we were assured that our order had been given to the kitchen as soon as we made it - we asked earlier, as we thought maybe it had been forgotten, but no).
    • This is a bit niche 🤣 I like  Kargs cheese and pumpkin seed crispbread, but it's quite expensive even when it's on offer. So when M&S started their own brand,  I used to buy that sometimes. It was different from Kargs, but ok. Then it disappeared from the shelves for ages. I assumed this was due to the supply problems after M&S  were hacked into. So I was quite pleased recently to see it had returned. But it now tastes revolting (in my opinion). I have no idea what was in it before, as I had no reason to look, but on checking the ingredient list now,  the second after wheat flour  is cornflour (?!), and it's also got palm fat, rapeseed oil, cheese powder and potato starch. And some other stuff. Plus some  actual cheese. I can't find anything online to say the recipe was  changed, so maybe my taste buds have suddenly become more sensitive, but after reading this, I'm appalled M&S are selling this rubbish. Has anyone else noticed any changes? I'm assuming they waited some time so customers would have used up what they had and couldn't make a direct comparison, but that might be a hideous slur (if so, apologies to M&S). Kargs use sunflower oil, and have  none of these other weird ingredients. I shall be gritting my teeth and buying only Kargs from now on. Disclaimer 1 : I don't have any shares in Kargs. I wish I did, I might get a discount! Disclaimer 2:  Yes I have many better things to do with my time than post on here moaning about crispbread, but I am having a tea break (just preempting another attack from those people who haven't got better things to do with THEIR  time than post on here to randomly attack other posters for no apparent reason).
    • There is the Blue Brick Cafe for vegetarian food too.
