Wycombe Wye and Pie 2 - Sun 7th Sep

[domster]

After the success of Wye and Pie 1 (a small gathering for Wycombites that became a mini-Virginia Waters with people like Bruce coming from London in his Ariel ) Mr Bluesatin - of White Horse notoriety - and myself have decided to instigate Wye and Pie 2.

This will be held at a new and untried venue, which Bluesatin ominously tells me is down a 'dead end lane' It does however have car parking for 50 cars and is by the river. If more than 20 cars look like turning up, I will attempt to warn the pub about our takeover bid.

Details of pub here:

www.pubfoodguide.co.uk/pubs/marlow-spade-oak.htm

Date: Sunday 7th September, 12 midday onwards

All the best and hope to see you there.

Would you like me to bring No6?

Blue Satin will have to comment on whether there is room to turn the Jeep and trailer around down the lane - I haven't been to the Spade Oak since I was 16....

[PetrolTed]

I'll be there.

[RiverGirrl]

Excellent! My first official Wye and Pie Meet as a newbie to this area rich in PH'ers

[domster]

Andy, I have been told that the car park is pretty big, so trailer and No6 may not be a problem if you are still scrounging for sponsorship pennies Why bring the trailer, just put a tax disc and some re plates on it like Grant Tuscan does

Look forward to seeing the Tedster and Carolyn (our new neighbour ) too.

Cheers
Domster

Indeed near the river but not actually on it. Spade Oak is a popular spot with dog walkers and picnickers and is a rather picturesque stretch of the Thames a mile or so downstream from Marlow. The pub itself is a typical large Victorian “pile” probably popular with boaters in the 19th.C. It is now a sort of "Country Faire" type place with OK food, cheap and cheerful with the usual choice of Steak ‘n’ Ale pies, Rub-a-Dub Chicken and something Vegi' - OK for a Sunday pie ‘n pint but not cordon-bleu if you know what I mean. There is also a large grass public parking area closer to the river which is quite nice. Have fun Rich...

[domster]

Cheers for info, Rich

Sounds fine for a motley bunch like us. Don't like The Compleat Angler anyway

You are embarrassing yourself, Buster. It is a shadow of its former self. Ever eaten in The Brasserie recently? I've had better meals at The White Horse, High Wycombe

Now, Le Manoir IS proper bo

Wasn't thinking about scrounging sponsorship pennies (although clearly these are always very welcome), so much as if you chaps and chapesses were interesting in having the car there to peruse.

Its a bit of a fag dragging it over, but if peeps are interested I'll bring it along. If not I'll just bring myself...

Car park would hold 50 at a squeeze and the access road is very narrow so I'd do a recce first if I were you.

[bobski]

Be leaving Devizes that morning . . .see if we can make it down en route to London! ROLL ON!

[jon_t]

Sounds like fun Will try to make it for a swift one if poss.

[domster]

Good stuff, people.

Andy - I haven't checked out car park or access myself so can't advise re trailer. Nice thought re showing the car tho'. Maybe see what the response is like - seems like it may be too much effort for this gathering, but perfect for a Virginia Waters one.

Cheers

People take trailers with yachts and canoes down there so no problem. As I say there is a huge grass car park at the end of the road so you can always turn there. Just a thought. Rich...
