Late summer night out... Stamford or Uppingham raid

[pupp]

Are we going to do this then? I suggest we pick a Friday night ('cos the little girl in Uppingham told those of us that shyly enquired that Fri was the best night for getting bevved up), and hire a mini-bus (and driver) so that all can neck a few sherberts. Uppingham gets lively, Stamford more so and has a cheesy club too.

Maybe someone can suggst another small market town... Harborough (better for the Northamptonians)?

Roll up, roll up

Yep I'm in. But will leave out the sherbert ta

Is this the call for.... 'Beer Van!' ??

Perhaps I'm getting (too) old but I'd prefer a blast out (convoy) to Uppingham for a meal and a laugh and a hoon back!

I usually go into Uppingham on a Friday eve, but Saturdays just as good, simply cos the beers good and I can walk there and get the beer scooter home!! I'd hardly call it proper "lively", but a couple Bombardiers in the Waggon and Horses then plenty of Timothy Taylors Landlord in DP's does the trick for me There are a couple of others if you fancy a proper pub crawl.

Stamford is an altogether busier place and it has the Central, curry houses etc. I'll leave it to you to decide if the extra journey and associated cost makes it worhtwhile....

As a compromise what about Tyre Treads suggestion - those that fancy followed by some more get transport to Uppingham and those that want to hoon themselves there and back meet at DP's? I've eaten there a couple of times and it's very good, or as an alternative there's the late night delicately roasted prime cut of meat wrapped in a fresh pitta, accompanied by crunchy salad and a chilli jus (aka a kebab!)

Pistonheads comes to Uppingham. Who'd have believed it....

I can't do 22nd or 23rd but am free the weekend after. Will go with the majority though, so if it has to be 22nd or 23rd I'll raise a glass to you while I'm away
