Welcome to 2010...8th January gathering...Hobgoblin and Royal Tandoori

January's gathering - is in Reading...for the Maidenhead crowd you can do this from the railway station and walking...!

Meet in the second best pub in Reading (the 'Goblin" has only 3000 Real Ales!) - but be warned it isn't a big place so getting there late for this one could be a mistake as you will have to stand outside ??

Meet at 8pm for 8:30pm at the Hobgoblin on Broad Street (No. 2) then a short hop to the Royal Tandoori on Duke Street (No.8)

Trains from Maidenhead to save you looking it up: 19:21 arrives 19:45 plus a walk or 19:40 arrives 19:56

January 8th 2010

The Cinnamon Tree was good but still only ranked a 7.5 on the curry house monitor...we had been warned about overly attentive service but good food...and merely got good service and good food... Great ambiance and quite attractive decor..good stuff.

All the starters are the same price but the Onion Bhajee offers the best value...but everything else looked and seemed to be very good, and tasted it too I am told by fellow members. The main courses were quite a selection...sticking to the Chef's Specialty List and the Lamb Jalfrezi was very good indeed...

Good food, good service and good decor...can't really go wrong...oh, but Parking was tight AGAIN. Less garden more parking might well be a good move.

Banter normal rubbish...numbers 5 and plans for January laid and detailed below...make a note...

... we chatted about January's gathering..and thought Reading would be an interesting addition to our monthly curry extravaganza..but we also realised the first Friday is the 1st January and the collective thought was it was probably going to clash with other arrangments or just plain hangovers! So we are going for the 8th instead - so pulled out the old diary/pda/Blackberry and write it in now...otherwise you will forget...go on DO IT NOW...

Details to follow - have a great Xmas & New Year and here's hoping that 2010 is a better one than 2009 for all. See you soon.
