You'll have a great time.

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

This is a mixed celebration to include our wedding anniversary (3 Apr), my birthday (soon enough) and then moving on - the earliest we could get in is 29 April

Perhaps a silly question but what don't you like about Oxfordshire? It's where I come from
PS I've always wanted to eat there!Comment

I should rephrase it - sorry
Celebrate is the wrong term, it should be 'to mark' leaving, I love it here but the RAF need Snowdrop elsewhere

Whilst it's lovely that he's arranged something that you obviously like, is it just me that hates that sort of place? Too poncey for me and not my sort of thing at all. Thankfully OH dislikes them even more than me so we're well suited
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

I'm assuming you've been Alison, to be able to comment on the "ponceyness" of it?
I went about 7 years ago as a treat to myself as I love food, and found it to be:
Flippin expensive, but:
Great food prepared by chefs who, it would appear to me, are in love with what they do,
owned by a bloke who's life and passion is food and with an ambience that didnt in any way to me seem over the top.
Those that know me would say I'm not really known as being a delicate soul, not really into appreciating what some may call the finer things in life, but I had a thoroughly enjoyable meal (except the thrashing my visa took, but I suppose I knew that would be the case anyway).
That said, it was 7 years ago, I would imagine the chefs have changed and the ambience may well be different, but I really enjoyed the experience.
If I was financially better off, and lived closer I would definitely go again.Bob Leponge

I think the celebration event is your way of taking the lemons life hands you, Piskie - and making some delicious lemonade!Originally posted by piskieinboots View PostI should rephrase it - sorry

I don't think that's fair to say unless you've been Alison.Originally posted by Alison View PostWhilst it's lovely that he's arranged something that you obviously like, is it just me that hates that sort of place?

Didn't find it poncy at all - very relaxed and welcoming. What did impress me was after dinner, LadyWayne and I retired to the bar. We ordered drinks and they were brought to where we were seated. No request for room number, or name. We thought we'd gotten away with it (I shan't tell you the price). However, the drinks did appear on our bill the next morning. It's those little things y'know.
Not poncy at all, but maybe I'm a ponce.
Enjoy it piskie, it's fantastic.
Oh and they have an amazing cheese board! O. M. G.
Oh, one more thing. If I left the table to go to the loo - one of eth waiting staff discreetly moved over to near where LW was seated to ensure she wasn't lonely, Struck up conversation (again, discreetly) and if they got the feeling you wanted to be left alone, they discreetly moved away. When they saw me coming back, they again, discreetly, walked back to their 'station'
A fantastic place.Last edited by HeyWayne; 23-03-2010, 05:26 PM.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/
