August

Sunday 23rd August.

Weekenders enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Peter Tavy last Sunday. Always a popular venue. Small portions were very reasonable and everything was delicious.

Saturday 1st August.

On Saturday 1st August, Weekenders went to Barbican pasta on Southside St.
It was a delicious Italian meal, with 2 courses for £17, which is really good value these days
The staff were very welcoming and made it easy when it came to paying.
We said Goodbye to Pam who is relocating to Scotland after being in the group for 10 years.

July

The weekenders met at  Staddon Heights  golf club on Sunday 12th July

it was a lovely meal with a choice of roast lamb or roast beef and vegetarian roast

It is getting more and more difficult finding venues for a large number without pre orders or deposits 

June

Weekenders broke their Saturday/ Sunday rule to take advantage of the Monday to Friday luncheon offer at Dunya.

2 courses £12.50.    3 courses £14.50. Remarkable value!

The pictures show us in Dunya, Marilyn’s chicken shish and at the Memory cafe having a coffee.

May

Late May

Saturday 30th May. A beautiful day to be lunching at the Wet Wok overlooking the Hoe

Twelve Weekenders enjoyed a lovely meal and then a rather hot ride home on the bus!!!

Early May

The Weekenders group visited the Lopes in Roborough on Sunday May 10th.  The restaurant required a deposit as there were 14 of us but everyone enjoyed a very good roast apart from those who had been to Warners and had fish and chips.  A super pavlova pudding was very popular.

April

Weekenders went to a new restaurant on Saturday 18th April called Grecian on the Barbican.
We were welcomed and shown a fabulous menu. 2 courses for £19.95.
One of the best restaurants we have visited since I took over Weekenders 20 months ago.

March(late)

On Sunday 29thMarch, the Weekenders went to Drakes Manor, Buckfastleigh.
They do small roasts for £14 which was excellent value and everybody enjoyed their meals. Puddings were £7.95.
I have attached some photos but also the menu from our next destination, Grecian on the Barbican.

March (early)

The Weekenders went to Lockyer Quay for a lunch on Saturday 7th March. There were 14 people who enjoyed a very reasonably priced lunch.
Our next outing is to Drakes Manor in Buckland Monachorum on Sunday 29th March at 12.30pm.
