Is the pub going to be big enough for all of us?

As long as we get there early enough!

Is there anyone who will be there earlier then 12? I was planning for about 11 but it will depend on the weather.

I'm not sure when I will be there yet Mark, haven't checked the trains yet, but will let you know. I'm certainly hoping to be there well before 12 🙂

Hi Mark,

Have been to this pub a couple of times (wind down from work) and it sure is big enough.
Front is covered at present with scaffolding but is still open.

Is it? Seems to be a trend for us - the last London pub we went to (The Shakespeare's Head on Holborn) was also covered in scaffolding!

 

[Steff]

Im due to be there for midday only 40 minutes away.

Morning All

Still hoping to get there (hubbies aunt keeping stable so hopfully we don't need to rush to Chichester) & hubby has agreed to come so less likely I'll go on the underground the wrong way round!

Getting the coach from Oxford quite early as I want to go to the National Gallery beforehand (hubby checked the net & opens at 10.00am) should get to the pub about 12.30/13.00; anyone know when they stop serving food or is it an all day job?

Unfortunately it's looking like Saturday could be a bit wet - so my plan of playing out on Lincoln Inn Fields might not work. Anyone want to be a play-thing for a 3 year old?

It has been suggested that I take him to Hamleys but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get him out again 😱

He certainly wont want to leave after all its the biggest toy shop ive ever been in, we were lucky my lad came out with only ?85 worth of stuff lol

 

[Steff]

I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to meet outside the station? i know how to get to shakersphere head without issue but not so much with the penderel as ive only been once.
Thanks.

Which station Steff? Penderel's Oak is up the road from the Shakespeare's Head and turn right at the top (where Holborn Tube station is), then it's about 5-10 minutes walk.
