Hi, So trouble is I sort of
Hi,
So trouble is I sort of suggested this but can't do the Monday meet up... Was wondering if that was set in stone or if anyone can do Weds 18th.

Different Date
I don't mind a different date, but the 18th conflicts with Brighton Farm, and since that's the last one before Christmas I don't want to miss that one.
I'm in Amsterdam Monday but
I'm in Amsterdam Monday but totally game if it's another day :)
Food then Farm?
Food then Farm?
Still don't know if I'll be able to escape to somewhere hot yet so will be there if not!
What about that newish place on the front that does burgers etc. which is supposed to be nice? Will google...
hmmm...
Food will be a bit rushed if everyone is going off to Farm after. I won't be going as I'm not a freelancer and it would be nice to make a nice jolly evening of it :( what about Tuesday?
Burgers
Hobgoblin pub has flipping amazing burgers!
There is a Meat Liquor in Brighton now, this needs to be investigated.
Lucky Beach is a burger place on the beach but its opening hours aren't regular.
I love burgers <3
Im up for a meal - need to
Im up for a meal - need to nail a date son though as runnig out! Can do monday or wed at the mo...
places will be getting booked
places will be getting booked up rapidly so the sooner we book the better or may find 'no room at the inn'!
Can't Do the 17th or the 20th
Can't Do the 17th or the 20th all other days are good for me
Ah I thought you were talking
Ah I thought you were talking about the 2nd Monday of the month! If it's 3rd I can do.
Meat Liquor is amazing!! Hob Goblin is also amazing - The Troll's pantry burgers - NOM!
Also can't do the 17th...
Not sure about other dates but as long not the weekend should be fine... though Wednesday also the farm...
Ok....
What have you caused Richard Jones!? :)
I think it should be Weds as everyone can make it but some people will be leaving early to go to Farm.
Dates for all!
As always with these things the dates are going to be tricky. I'm free any time except for the 18th. I'd rather not eat then go to the farm since as Emma said, I'd rather make more of a night of it as well. And by the time we meet up, get seated served, etc, us farmers wouldn't be getting there until kinda late.
Sooooo, not entirely sure what to do about the date. How's the 19th then?
For food, I was thinking more of a sit down for a meal kinda place, instead of a queuing for a burger at the back of a pub kind of place, so I'm not a big fan of Hobgoblin/Trolls Pantry for this. And besides, Burger Bros has better burgers! ;-)
We could give Meat Liquor a shot or somewhere else that does nice burgers. Then there's always the usual Chilli Pickle or Indian Summer, or maybe even La Choza for Mexican. We could also try the Thai place on Kensington Gardens, and then we could bring our own booze.
19th
At the moment 19th (Thurs) looks like the only date all who have responded so far can make it - Thai on Kensington Gardens sounds good, keep meaning to go there as everyone says is good
It is good! Very tasty!
It is good! Very tasty!
chilli pickle wasnt fab last
chilli pickle wasnt fab last xmas. im easy on where we go tho, agree with not rushing it on wed. Who cant do monday 16th? Also Im happy to put down a deposit if we know where...
I'm with you
IMHO Chilli Pickle isn't all that great anyway, It's just easy to accommodate larger groups.
OK any reason NOT to to thurs

Not sure if we'll get everyone
Trying to get everyone in on this might not be possible, but I'm all for the 16th or 19th. I figured originally the 16th would be the best since it's the day we'd meet anyway, so I would hope people wouldn't schedule anything else! It's a repeating event in my calendar ;-)
We could push it up to next week as well, if that's better for everyone.
True Jeni - I can do the 16th

Yeah, that's cool if you want to do it. It's not a big place so at this rate we might end up taking over the entire place!
@miggle we wouldn't be able
@miggle we wouldn't be able to do the 19th, as we have our Xmas meal that night - i did have 16th in my diary (as may have louis/steve/ian) but as to whether i can make it then anyway would depend on how many passes I have left at that point. I'm almost out, while my wife still holds a full hand...
Ah but you hold the "its xmas
Ah but you hold the "its xmas and I bring home the bacon card" which should never be undervalued...

So this is booked at Street Thai, then? I just want to make sure since I originally suggested the place on Kensington Gardens and I want to make sure everyone ends up in the right place!
There's a map on the site that Kev linked to above, but here's a link to Google Maps just in case:

Sorry I've not replied earlier. I was waiting for confirmation of whether I have an interview (which has now been delayed). I hope to see you all next year.

Lurgy prevents me, I'm afraid! I have let the restaurant know, so they are now expecting 13. Craig, if you need to jump in, their phone is 207444; ask to add one to the booking at 7pm for Kevin.
Have a good one and hope to catch up in the new year.
