London lunch or dinner in May?

[bossykate]

hello everyone

it seems like forever since the last big london meet up at the end of november.

just wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting up for lunch or dinner in may?

have to confess i have dates and venue in mind already!

dates...

lunch or dinner on sat 10th may

dinner on fri 23rd may
lunch or dinner on sat 24th may

i thought we might go to a turkish place i went to recently near oxford circus. for groups of 10+ they do a set menu for a cheap(ish) £18 per head. you get a good variety of starters to share, a choice of main courses and dessert, and there are reasonable vegetarian options.

based on views expressed before previous meets, i was thinking separate bills for food and drink...!

well, if that doesn't appeal there's always pizza express!

will look into it but i think their maximum group booking is 25, so if there is a lot of interest, it might be first come, first served - but i think i'm getting a little ahead of myself!

anyone up for it?

I'd love to come - went to the E Surrey get together but only managed the last half hour. However, don't think I can do the Friday unless I could pitch up for a quick drink. Having said that a quick drink isn't my speciality. If there's another meet up please count me in. I'm v central - Picadilly Circus.

I'm still in, but promise to check for Engineering work in advance so don't have to disappear at 9 o'clock...

I'd like to come too - dinner better than lunch - free in May so far.

looking forward to it - will put the date in my diary.

Haven't posted much, but can I come too please!

wills, sykes, eemie, hoxtonchick, wonderful i'll add you in!

twink, if you bring your trainers you can always run back if necessary!

Hmm, there's a thought !

I know my limitations, 35 miles on top of a Mumsnet night out would definitely be beyond me - but I could bring copies of the Race For Life 5k training programme...

OK, I'll get me coat

BK, still in, thanks again.

Yes, I'm still in.

Count me in. Tks for organising BK.

Count me in. Tks for organising BK.

I'm still up for it. See you all then.

me too. (just wondering if we have to make 3 reservations for bells2)

Just noticed this. I'd love to join if O.K.

LOL SofiaAmes.

Sorry 'bout that. Just got completely overexcited at the thought of a night out.

I'm still on for this, thanks Bossykate!

Looking forward to it.

I am new to mumsnet but would love to join you for lunch or dinner on 24th May. I'm assuming anyone is welcome but if it is for old mumsnet users who know each other that is fine.

I can actually do any of the days you suggested. I may be too late mind you as it seems like there is a lot of interest.

PS - how will I know if I am too late as you have your numbers already? Thanks

Can't do dinner 23 May, can only do lunch 24 May.

hello everyone

finally got round to booking this yesterday

details as follows...

friday 23rd may
7.30pm
ozer
4-5 langham place
london
w1

sorry, cam and peteandartie , booked this before i saw your messages based on what seemed to be the majority preference based on earlier posts.

i have booked for 25 people, so that still leaves space for a few more if anyone else is interested. as this is still some weeks off, i expect there will be some to-ing and fro-ing with the numbers anyway.

i have got us the "party menu" priced at a flat £18 per head. i have had this before - it's pretty good, with a fair amount of choice.

so far we have batters, clucks, fionn, sofiaames, scummy, marina, tigermoth, kaz33, sis, twink, willow, bells, nqwww, wills, sykes, eemie, hoxtonchick, expatkat and ks.

looking forward to meeting everyone then!

Would have loved to have come. Please book a Saturday lunch next time, please!

hi tinker, shame you can't make it next time someone suggests a meet i will lobby for lunchtime.
