We meet at different restaurants, about once per month, in the broader St Helens area. I'm doing my best to support local independent businesses.
We are a totally open group and welcome new diners, whether you are new to u3a, or have been a member since the inception. There is no commitment, just come to whichever meals you fancy, booking via the "Group Email".
We usually dine at 5.30 to 6pm, although that may vary, especially in the winter. We vary the day of the week, as many of us have commitments on different days. Our group sizes are usually 15-20 covers, sometimes a few more if the venue can accommodate us.
I have a strong policy of making our outings as inclusive as possible and try to cater for individual dietary needs. I try to ensure that we dine downstairs and that the loos are downstairs.
We sometimes preorder from a standard menu, or have a special menu. We've tried, several times, the growing trend of small plates for sharing. That gives us the opportunity to try many different dishes that we might not, ordinarily, risk.
There is usually a link to whatever menu we choose in our enews, and on our website. We’ve found that, by pre-ordering, service is smoother on the night.
