There's been talk about lunch meetups for a while now and with recent interest I thought I'd keep the momentum up so looked around for deals and found this one currently:
Pub Lunch For Two, Four or Six People from £8.95 at The Windmill (Up to 50% Off)
http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/dealbank_en_gb/the-windmill/59574604
The Deal
Now under new management, The Windmill is located in a handy location near St. Nicholas Rest Garden and Brighton town centre. The venue welcomes guests to choose any main meal worth up to £8.95, such as the Elvis burger, the free range and handmade haute dogs, or for vegetarians the roasted Mediterranean vegetable lasagne. Customers should note that all menu items are subject to change at any time.
Choose from 3 Options
- £8.95 for Pub lunch for two (50% off)
- £17.90 for Pub lunch for four (50% off)
- £26.85 for Pub lunch for six (50% off)
The offer's on Monday-Thursday and the availability is all ok for June & July, so throw some replies with possible dates and we can take it from there. Not sure how long this offer's for but I've heard there's other places to eat in Brighton too ;) Just tried Silo, very nice! Not quite as cheap as this offer though... £28 for two lunches & two coffees...!

....finally went next door to Silo yesterday, was great!
£28.50 for 2 lunches & 2 coffees so not so cheap, but y'know, it's different - UK's first Zero waste restaurant!

Is it "UK's first Zero waste
Is it "UK's first Zero waste restaurant!" or "UK's first Zero waste restaurant advertising campaign!"?
Both I'd imagine. Or we could
Both I'd imagine.
Or we could go all-out & try the new Salt Room:

+1 for Windmill
Good plan. And the Windmill's very convenient for us Cogappistas.
I could do any Wednesday or Thursday, plus the occasional Tuesday lunchtime.
Cool, that's 1 for the
Cool, that's 1 for the Windmill (I'm easy wherever!) - any other takers?
Would be good to sort it out this week, not sure when the groupon offer ends!
Food glorious food!
Sorry I have only just seen this, sounds like a great idea! I can't do until next week, if that's not too late then count me in!
Good find Steve!
Fab! Yes, I wasn't thinking
Fab! Yes, I wasn't thinking this week, but finalising a date this week as the offer might run out - I think you can book up to about a month ahead.
Thanks for picking this up
Thanks for picking this up Steve... As per our twitter conversation the pub meets are sometimes (most times) difficult for me to make so a lunch meetup would be a good alternative.
Am at DrupalCamp CS for the rest of this week, so next week would work - Tues, Weds or Thurs.

Cool, was considering CS as
Cool, was considering CS as it's near Vienna & they're sprinting on D8 rules - am going to sprint remotely from sunny Brighton!
Weds is best for me I guess next week - it's available 12pm-3pm, I'd say 1pm is good.
So, can buy 2,4, or 6 tickets at a time so just need to know numbers now - any other takers (and current people let me know if you're planning on bringing other people!).
Let me know by say 5pm tomorrow (Fri) and I'll book it up... although not sure if my current credit will work, will cross that bridge when I come to it, can bring cash for my meal with me. Man, I hate this payment bit. Guy... group payments eh!
Weds works for me. I suggest
Weds works for me. I suggest we pair up and get tickets as it's not fair for Steve to take the burden.
1PM Weds then?
Alick's not around next week
Alick's not around next week and must admit it's a bit busy for me too. As long as we know numbers we can buy tickets then they can be booked up 90 days in advance.
How about Weds 17th or Weds 24th Alick/everyone?
I'm kinda guessing by the looks of it the offer will go on for a while so perhaps worrying too much, but you never know and at least we book a date in!
I can do 24th and if gemma
I can do 24th and if gemma can too we can sort out a pair of tickets for us i'm sure
Yep I can do 24th!

6 people, so if more than 6 decide to go they'll need to sort more vouchers out, just thought it would be easier to kick off this way.
I'll create a proper event listing with the deets
Looking forward to it!

So, that's the 6! I can buy one more voucher 'for a friend' so it would be easier for another person to buy the next one if more people sign up, no rush now I guess unless we fill the entire pub up ;)
Would be good to get these going on a monthly basis in different places, noodles would be good I reckon sometime!
So... anyone else?
Guess I should get the event page up...
Sounds good! I can make the
Sounds good! I can make the 24th, please count me in. Thanks for arranging, Steve.
Cool - hopefully more will
Cool - hopefully more will poke their heads above the parapit soon so we can fill up another voucher's worth!
Re organising - no prob, is fun & glad I'm not worrying about the time cost vs saved & focusing more on the value ;) But every penny counts when going out, right!

Excellent thanks - the 24th is good for me!
4 spaces left, more can be arranged!
OK, booked another table of 6, so with Xavier and Erik that's 8, so 4 spaces left at the moment. I'm sure at least 4 more people will want to go - who could miss a table of Drupal for lunch!
Seems groupon goes from the "give us the money we don't care" way so it let me buy another voucher.
It's £26.85 per voucher, so that's £53.70/12=£4.475 each - if you just give me a fiver each I'll take a pint for profit and maybe a pack of crisps if there's enough from the £6.30 left, any issues with that please find the appropriate issue queue or see me outside the windmill lol ;)
(I don't mind if you give me
(I don't mind if you give me £4.50 either, or £4.475 rounded up or down or whatever, just trying to get the thang going!)
