Somewhere around the Worcester area.
Dinner and evening at a pub.
If your’re interested leave a comment below with links to any nice pubs we might use (that have accommodation) and email me, subject ‘Worcester’.
Timing all depends on replies but this year likely Sept/Oct.

Oct good. Prefer Worcester to Kairdiff.

Hi All,
To set the ball rolling will suggest 3 local “non-city” venues that offer both accommodation and good food:
Bank House Hotel, Bransford (Olde Worlde, golf course, 3m Worcester)
The Swan Inn, Hanley Swan (Village green type, v popular, near Malvern)
The Baiting House, Upper Sapey (Out in sticks, excellent food, 9m Worcester)
Am sure someone with recent experience can suggest the best Worcester venues and accommodation.
-
Tue 28 Aug 2018 @ 15:19 UTC #11399b-bobParticipant
Another local venue to add to above list:
The Crown Inn & Sandys, Ombersley. (Renowned village inn, 3m Worcester)
-
Thu 13 Sep 2018 @ 11:59 UTC #11408Going PostalKeymaster
Currently 13th October. Venue undecided but it will be one of the above.
-
Thu 13 Sep 2018 @ 12:12 UTC #11410FrataculaParticipant
looks OK now but might have work.
-
Thu 13 Sep 2018 @ 12:58 UTC #11411snotsicleParticipant
Probably can make that weekend. Would be coming from North Somerset on the Saturday morning and going to Mid-Wales on the Sunday, if that helps anyone.

Belay that – just arrived.
-
Thu 20 Sep 2018 @ 11:34 UTC #11419CrikeyParticipant
What sort of pub crawl is likely after dinner? Thinking of taxis/getting back to hotel etc
-
Thu 20 Sep 2018 @ 11:40 UTC #11420bluesman_1Participant
Just a point t Bank House is out on its own. Moving on from there will require taxi. Unless you walk a mile or so to the Fox.
-
Thu 20 Sep 2018 @ 11:44 UTC #11421snotsicleParticipant
Heads up to those with Hotels.com or Expedia Rewards accounts – they list the hotel mentioned so you can get your usual 10% off the website price.
-
Thu 20 Sep 2018 @ 12:19 UTC #11422CrikeyParticipant
Well I think I’ll treat my self and stay at Bank House. I’m too much of a lightweight drinker to do pub crawls without adequate supervion anyway
-
Thu 20 Sep 2018 @ 13:16 UTC #11423b-bobParticipant
Hi all. As per SB’s earlier e-m request, have proffered for consideration an alternative venue in town to eliminate the need for taxi’s.
Ye Olde Talbot Inn (Olde English Inns)
As being fairly local, I’m happy to go wherever is decided.

Thu 20 Sep 2018 @ 20:24 UTC #11425Churchills SharkParticipant
I would be up for the Ye Olde Talbot Inn rather than the Bank House.
-
Fri 21 Sep 2018 @ 10:49 UTC #11426CrikeyParticipant
What’s the parking situation like in Worcester?
-
Fri 21 Sep 2018 @ 12:13 UTC #11428CrikeyParticipant
Thanks b-bob
-
Fri 21 Sep 2018 @ 16:50 UTC #11429bluesman_1Participant
My 2 cents. Premier inn with paid parking – 10-15 mins walk to the centre. Taxi situation to/from Bank House is not great.
-
Fri 21 Sep 2018 @ 17:04 UTC #11430Going PostalKeymaster
As most of you seem to prefer staying in the centre I am minded to change the venue.
I’ll send an update tomorrow once I’ve confirmed no one has booked a room at Bank House
-
Thu 04 Oct 2018 @ 11:01 UTC #11436Going PostalKeymaster
This is all booked and arranged now. You should all have emails.
-
Fri 12 Oct 2018 @ 14:45 UTC #11441FrataculaParticipant

-
Fri 12 Oct 2018 @ 15:51 UTC #11442FrataculaParticipant
thanks Snots, information received. Will call them tomorrow to see if the table can be stretched to 10 as my wife wants to join
-
Fri 12 Oct 2018 @ 21:46 UTC #11443stuartbeakerParticipant
I had planned on coming to this, & will still try – I can bring a dog-bowl if there’s no room at the table. I am currently on a fizzer to get out of my house by the 30th & may be ‘v busy’ tomorrow. My new place is near to Worcester, but atm only looks like a storage facility.. see you if poss!
-
Sat 13 Oct 2018 @ 18:05 UTC #11444snotsicleParticipant
So, who’s in the pub, then? Bit early but can’t see anyone recognisable.
Look for a balding bloke playing with an iPad and drinking orange juice through a plastic (REEEEEEE) straw. -
Sat 13 Oct 2018 @ 18:45 UTC #11445bluesman_1Participant
Inbound, ETA 45 mins.

Sat 13 Oct 2018 @ 19:19 UTC #11446CrikeyParticipant
Who’s in the pub?

Sat 13 Oct 2018 @ 21:34 UTC #11447stuartbeakerParticipant
Ah well, wasn’t to be. There in spirit if not in spirits, see you @ next do when I’ve finally MOVED.. Have a grand time all.
-
Mon 15 Oct 2018 @ 10:56 UTC #11448Going PostalKeymaster
I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. We can do it again now we know where to meet up.

All in favour say Aye, Aye.
What date is the brewery bash ‘19
So I can book somewhere? -
Sat 03 Nov 2018 @ 08:59 UTC #11487WooshyParticipant
Anyone up for another meeting ?
-
Sat 03 Nov 2018 @ 23:52 UTC #11490stuartbeakerParticipant
Count me in Wooshy. Was sorry to miss last one, and I’ve now moved to within 5 miles of Worcs TC so will aim to be there any time, apart from around Christmas when I will be in foreign parts.

Sat 03 Nov 2018 @ 09:22 UTC #11488CrikeyParticipant

Sun 04 Nov 2018 @ 18:25 UTC #11494CrikeyParticipant
As long as it’s not next week, I’m pretty flexible.
-
Mon 05 Nov 2018 @ 10:52 UTC #11495stuartbeakerParticipant
OK, I’m good for any time until mid-Dec, and don’t care where we meet so if the last venue was a good one that’s fine by me, otherwise there seems to be a vast number of places round here compared to where I’ve just moved from, but I don’t know any of them yet..
Looking forward to it. -
Mon 05 Nov 2018 @ 12:05 UTC #11496
-
Fri 09 Nov 2018 @ 16:41 UTC #11498WooshyParticipant
Sorry been a few days, busy with work Etc. Are we all OK with 30th of November or the 1st of December? If anyone wants a different venue speak up now. I am going to presume people want to eat food like last time, so once we have a venue and if those dates are OK with people I will reserve a table!
-
Fri 09 Nov 2018 @ 23:29 UTC #11499b-bobParticipant
Hi Wooshy. I’m good for either, (prefer Friday if pushed). Looking forward to meeting up again. Thanks for this…
-
Mon 12 Nov 2018 @ 12:23 UTC #11502stuartbeakerParticipant
Oops, been busy so I didn’t follow here.. I’m fine for 30th or 1st, in fact most days up to roughly 13th Dec. Anywhere you like will do me, looking forward..

I can do either but would prefer Saturday. Looking forwRd to it which ever day you all choose 😄
-
Sat 17 Nov 2018 @ 01:18 UTC #11503Gordon Brown PMParticipant
I’m in Germany but might be back in England by then.
Probably would come for a drink then go home -
Sat 17 Nov 2018 @ 13:49 UTC #11504Churchills SharkParticipant
I will be up for the next meeting. I don’t mind which day you do.
-
Tue 20 Nov 2018 @ 09:39 UTC #11506Going PostalKeymaster
I’ll be there if I can.
-
Thu 22 Nov 2018 @ 20:30 UTC #11508WooshyParticipant
Sorry busy week! I have provisionally booked the 1st of December at Ye Olde Talbot again. We all know where it is, if anyone needs directions or anything else get at me. I’ll put full details up once I have confirmed with the restaurant.
P.s I was originally going to go for the 30th of November. But with Tommy’s March going on, on the 1st I thought we could discus the days events after. Again any issues or problems get at me.
-
Thu 22 Nov 2018 @ 23:30 UTC #11512stuartbeakerParticipant
OK W & Everyone, that’s in the diary. I seem to have spent several days this week inadvertently recce-ing Ye Olde T so I should be able to bump into it without too much trubble..
Looking fwd to it!

Thanks Wooshy looking forward to it🙂
-
Wed 28 Nov 2018 @ 10:33 UTC #11521WooshyParticipant
Slight issue this morning, I rang Ye Olde Talbot last week to book a table, which was apparently fine. I had a phone call this morning to say they have had a double booking, they said they can accommodate us in the bar. If people are happy with that then it’s fine by me. But I am going to ring a few other pubs to see if I can get a table. If people could let me know. Sorry about this.
-
Wed 28 Nov 2018 @ 11:02 UTC #11523Going PostalKeymaster
See if you can find somewhere else. I can’t say I was too impressed last time, leaking bloody ceiling and I never did get my hat back!
-
Wed 28 Nov 2018 @ 13:02 UTC #11524stuartbeakerParticipant
Wooshy, appreciate your efforts, and I’m fine wherever.
However, can’t have GP’s hat going missing! I’ll bring my own with the large brim, in case the ceiling still leaks.
I haven’t seen a place so awash with pubs and hostelries for years. Surprised the entire population isn’t horizontal by and large. Kempsey, nearest place to me, just outside W, must have 7 or 8. Even Green Street has one that does meals, although that is only open certain days – and there can’t be above a couple of dozen or so houses there. -
Wed 28 Nov 2018 @ 17:13 UTC #11530b-bobParticipant
Wherever you can book is fine with me Wooshy. If all else fails, we’ll get in at Spoons (Crown).

-
Wed 28 Nov 2018 @ 10:51 UTC #11522CrikeyParticipant
Happy to go with the crowd
-
Wed 28 Nov 2018 @ 18:01 UTC #11531WooshyParticipant
OK, sorry hectic day. I have rang the crown (spoons) they can accept us. I have also been thinking I am presuming people will possibly be driving, if people are not bothered about being in the city as such I’ve been told there should be room at the Stonehouse Manor on Malvern Road or The Swan at Whittington (just off junction 7 M5) both of these have on site parking. So if people prefer the centre or outskirts let me know! I know most people said they are easy. Sorry its all abit Heath Robinson.
-
Wed 28 Nov 2018 @ 18:39 UTC #11532stuartbeakerParticipant
Spoons’ fine Wooshy, see you there. There seems to be parking close-by at CrownGate Shopping Centre, they do 5pm – 9am for £1.
WR1 3LX [Moreton Place]Oh, also, there’s a Premier Inn just over the Worcester Bridge, by the cricket ground, in case anyone’s stuck..

Thu 29 Nov 2018 @ 22:08 UTC #11542WooshyParticipant
OK I am going to say the Crown in Worcester. They have said we don’t have to book, it might be busy mind. It’s a Weatherspoons so it’s not going to break the bank. But it’s not going to 5 star Michelin grade quality. (just so everyone know what we are getting into) If anyone has any issues speak up now. If people do want to think about parking and such I recommend parking at Pitchcroft car park or the Hive. Postcode for these are:-
WR1 3RD for Parking
WR1 3LL the Crown in Worcester.
If anyone wants me to meet them somewhere to walk them in if they are unsure let me know. One final thing apparently its going to be the first day of the Christmas Market in Worcester, I do imagine it’s going to be pretty rammed of people. So if people do fancy a quieter drink and food say now and I will book at table at The Swan at Whittington. Again I can only apologise for the Heath Robinson of all this. Hectic week in work, I’m already over 40 hours and I’ve got to work saturday before our meet up too!-
Fri 30 Nov 2018 @ 00:08 UTC #11543stuartbeakerParticipant
Splendid Wooshy. See you there, about 6-ish?
-
Fri 30 Nov 2018 @ 14:31 UTC #11545b-bobParticipant
Cheers Wooshy. Will be there 6 ish. We will hopefully grab a large enough table at some point, there’s also a back and an upstairs room. Fayre finishes at 6 apparently, but will be rammed as you say. Will keep an eye on this page should there be any change.

Fri 30 Nov 2018 @ 19:15 UTC #11546WooshyParticipant
I’ll be in Worcester from 6ish!
