For this outing we ventured down to New Cross, to keep those pesky Sarf Lahndners happy. We had a massive turnout this time – 23 including kids – with many first-timers. Good to see our wee club getting popular 🙂

We met at the Marquis of Granby pub, then headed over to the restaurant.

It’s a BYOB and reasonably priced. The staff were a bit taken aback with the numbers, but did their best to accommodate us all, with Garry electing to sit on his own in the naughty corner 🙂

The starters and main were good, and the price was very reasonable.

Palms of Goa

We’d been meaning to try this restaurant for a few months, and Charlie McHarper got around finally to organising something. We met in the Dev as usual and headed down to the restaurant around 6ish.

There was fair turnout, and we thought it would be OK to get a table for 13 or so of us. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, and there was a booking later for a large group, but the staff rejigged and gave us the larger table and accommodated us.

We ordered drinks, and starters – all of which was tasty and well cooked and presented. The mains were a good size and also really tasty. The place filled to bursting whilst we were there, and they handled it all with a great sense of professionalism and pride – nothing phased them.

Overall was a round of 8s and 9s. The staff were great, the ambience was good and relaxed.

Standard Tandoori

Can’t remember much about this place – we met up at the Wetherspoons for a couple of beers and then went up to the restaurant. There was a decent sized turnout from what I recall, and the food average and not that cheap.

The service, however, was poor – Mark Licker’s daughter was choking and we asked for water, the staff just either didn’t understand or didn’t care and carried on (VERY SLOWLY) picking up dishes and moving like a sloth.

Don’t think any of us would be back any time soon.
