Gentlemen's Curry Club http://www.gentscurryclub.org Fine dining for discerning gentlemen posterous.com Thu, 10 May 2012 05:11:00 -0700 Newick Tandoori, Newick - 26th April, 2012 http://www.gentscurryclub.org/newick-tandoori-newick http://www.gentscurryclub.org/newick-tandoori-newick

Present 

Messrs. Taylor, Hill, Bourke, Wilkes, Campbell-Lloyd & Powers.

Score 

7

Highlights

A year of the curry club! Much reminiscing and many trips down memory lane. Gallant flattery for contributions in the name of curry. Turkish trouser curtains and most lurid golden wallpaper. Excellent curry - particularly good chapatis. Attentive service, reasonable prices. Good banter all round and a table united in the pursuit of curry perfection. Discussion of suitable attire for future meetings with some mentions of a black rod.

Lowlights

We all missed our hardcore farmer, who is setting up a sister organisation - the German Union of Friendly Farmers Eating Curry (GUFF-EC). An exchange scheme will be implemented in the future. Last minute drop outs (Mr. Morgan). Faux granite tiles in the bathroom.

Notes

The rating system needs recalibrating - cogitation required before next meeting.

Next Meeting

Thursday, 28th June, Venue TBD.

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:44:00 -0800 Thai Pod, Forest Row - 9th February, 2012 http://www.gentscurryclub.org/thai-pod-forest-row http://www.gentscurryclub.org/thai-pod-forest-row

Present 

Messrs. Hill, Rivera, Bourke, Wilkes, Campbell-Lloyd, Morgan, Ennis + 2 guests. Apologies from Mr. Taylor.

Score 

5 (for food), 10 (for experience)

Highlights

Service was excellent - mainly because the team picked it up and delivered it, and we never went short of beer. Facilities were more than adequate with ensuite kitchen and lambing baaaaaa-rn. Most excellent tractor calendar, Miss February sporting a fine set of pipes and a cheeky little red number. A good basic Thai Yellow/Green curry and good value for money. Learnt how to open a bottle of beer with another bottle of bear, fine until you get to the last one.....

Lowlights

Some demands for more chilli in the noodles. Snow. Wasn't allowed to check out Miss March.

Next Meeting

Thursday, 22nd March, Venue TBD.

Enthusiastic waiter, new Bangladeshi Indian beer, good quality tucker for most. Good value for money. Smallest nightclub in universe.

Score 

7.8

Highlights

Very good food, with new and interesting dishes on the menu. Reasonably priced. Top notch pub to start, a purist ale establishment. Great to have fresh blood at the table. Major solutions to all world crises provided, - if only we could remember them. Also, four chaps in a small space!

Lowlights

Difficult to find. Poor decor. Long waits for service really impacted the score. Interdimensional portal in loo window (rarely good).

Next Meeting

Excellent food, new members galore, great selection of beer. New and innovative approach for future weeks.

Indigestible menu, lack of false boobs (but got a flash of thigh), Grant needed more spice despite hot flush from thigh flashing. Tikka Chunder Massala in gents not pleasant.
