The Big Summer Meet thread, confirmed 20th August

[plod]

I'm a bit dubious about that breakfast junction and suggest we either go the little chef over the road as originally mentioned or we have a breakfast run on the barbie as well as lunch

Is that the same junction plod? (I've got no issues with either, be happy to swap to the Little Chef).

Literally over the road

People from the North will need to go past and do a u turn at M40 J15 and back up, will add exactly 3 mile to there overall journey

Something just ain't sitting right with me about the other place, so basically you usually can't go wrong with the little chef

What sort of food to little chef do? i've never been there

What sort of food to little chef do? i've never been there

you can not use the word food and little chef together
and you need a creditcard to pay the bill

[Bailes1992]

That fine

Just found a Menu online... I'l give it a try lol

Totally confused about where it is? only little chef I can find takes me to a train station?

[plod]

I can't say I patronise Little Chef much, as like Nigel, says, they are a tad expensive

I did however, when I did any jobs to Scotland, treat myself to an Olympic plus black pudding at the first Little Chef you hit after coming back into England

Anyway, no one is forcing anyone into eating at the chef
Like I said, if we wanted, we could get some food on the go when we get to Gaydon as it will save us all a few quid

If people want to each put something in, then we could put something together

My own BBQ at home is to cumbersome to bring, unless of course, I strip it down, but I need Gas

Otherwise if someone brought a Barbie, someone else charcoal, then other food and cobs etc, i'm sure we could knock something up and save some dough
I'm sure it would be a £20 touch going into the little chef for me, the wife and the lad, and that's just for breckie

I think I heard asda were doing some small barbies for just £8

[Bailes1992]

I think I'm just going to do myself a packed lunch.
Is there a cafe at gaydon?

[plod]

Is there a cafe at gaydon?

Yes

I'll pop round the asda and see if they have those cheap barbie

Can't wait for this :p Tommorow needs to hurry up. Although its supposed to be raining saturday

[waue1978]

I'll stick with my original plan of bringing food for me & little man + a bit extra. Main reason being that I can't guarantee an arrival time so best not to be bringing anything too essential.

Won't be anything majorly exciting, probably little pasties & sausage rolls, some basic little sandwiches (no cheese, mayo or salad) & little tubs of bite size cakes (which you'll probably have to prise away from the boy).

If the weather is anything like we have down here today though, the barbecue may be wasted...

Anyone wanna bring a PP2000?

[Doggy]

Anyone wanna bring a PP2000?

I'm bringing mine, (thought the list was just grub related).

FWIW BBC Weather says light rain, Metcheck says sunshine. Place your bets....

Mine never leaves the car... I need it there
