Hi Clive,
If you’re looking for a place that serves food, here is a place in Covent Garden I particularly like.
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ … ent_Garden
It’s all seating, and they have an area upstairs which we could book (big plus). All tables can be reserved, but it is very much a pub, not a restaurant, although a lot of people eat when there. Good food, but it’s the extensive choice of European beers which is fantastic.
Central location, good atmosphere and the fact we could book tables a plus. Maybe have a look at reviews and let me know what you think.

I think thats an excellent choice. Easy to get to as well
Lets go for it
January 22, 2008 at 13:30 #136983I’d love to know whether it’s named after either the old halfcab double-decker bus built by Albion in the 1960s, or else the Brendan Powell-trained gelding that would barely go a yard for Guy Opperman in hunter chases last season.
What do you mean, neither?
I should be around in either case, subject to a clear run down the A40…

January 24, 2008 at 18:18 #137469Regarding the TRF evening, do we have any idea of numbers? I have spoke with the manager at the Lowlander, and firstly, we can only book if we are eating – is that definitely the case?
Secondly, there is a minimum spend of £400 for the entire party if we want to book the upstairs section. However, we can book a table for upto 15 downstairs (again, if we are eating).
So, who is interested (reply here or send me a PM), and thoughts on the above please.
January 24, 2008 at 18:47 #137475If you are looking for a pub in that area that will reserve space without having to eat you could try The Captains Cabin just off the top of Haymarket and about 2mins from Piccadilly Circus. I know they will reserve space usually upstairs. It is only a suggestion as I do not if you definitely want a meal.
January 24, 2008 at 19:22 #137482Definitely interested in coming along.
January 24, 2008 at 19:25 #137483Yes I’m interested too but can’t give a def yes or no because I havent actually started my job yet so can’t say when/if I’ll be off.
Sorry to be so vague and unhelpful…January 24, 2008 at 19:36 #137486I’m in

That’s Saturday nights task – not sure if there are many good ones though!

Not that I’m an expert on the subject,……by a long way, but I suspect you might have more luck travelling to Reading rather Newbury.
Best of luck with the new job.
