Lunch Group

We are a friendly group of singles and couples who meet for lunch on the 4th Wednesday of each month at as many different locations as we can find within 30-40 mins drive of Lostwithiel!

Between us we have discovered some really good places to eat and are always keen to try new ones. The lunches usually start at 12.30 for 1pm.   

Members take it in turns to organise and host the lunches with the help of the group leaders if required but if no one volunteers then there is no lunch!!  As yet luckily this has never happened!

Since our 10th Anniversary Open Day,  we have welcomed new members to join this friendly group. If you are interested in joining too please contact us to have your name put on the list.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at Edies at Carlyon Bay. The food was delicious especially the deserts. I can vouch for the apricot and almond tart. Highly recommend.

June 2024

Always open to new ideas, a new venue was tried this month at The Crows Nest, Darite  - an historic, traditional inn full of character on Bodmin Moor and organised by Sheila Mackinder.  It certainly past the test and the lunch was enjoyed by fourteen members.  It was a perfect day too to be up on the Moor.

 

 

July's lunch will be at Edie's Carlyon Bay now instead of the originally planned Kingswood Restaurant at London Apprentice.

Lunch at Carlyon Bay Golf Club was excellent, seventeen of us in a superb cliff top setting. It was a pity about the weather otherwise we would have been able to really appreciate the view. The event was very well organised by new member Ruth Clench.

Many thanks to Sue for organising.

Nineteen of us enjoyed  a lovely lunch at Trehellas Hotel. The food as usual was outstanding and the company was good too. Many thanks to Dorothy for organising.

For our 10th Anniversary the u3a Lunch group enjoyed a splendid meal prepared for us by Jordan and Kerris. If you haven't been to this little gem tucked away in Lostwithiel's Fore Street you really must try it.

May 2023

Those of us who went to Cloisters Restaurant at St Austell College had an Indian Lunch. The students were being assessed whilst they carved Tandoori Chicken. The meal was very tasty and finished with a coconut panacotta with mango. Well done to the students. The meal was lovely and the service was good.

The group enjoyed a superb lunch at Stepping Stones in Wadebridge. Lots of clean plates!

Thank you to Sheila for organising.

We enjoyed a lovely meal yesterday at the Lanivet Inn whilst welcoming six new members.

It was a very busy venue and had an extensive, reasonably priced menu. 

We look forward to our next meal at Stepping Stones in Wadebridge. Please contact Sheila Goodgame with your menu choices as soon as possible.

 

March 2023

u3a had an open day yesterday to showcase our groups to the general public.

It was a very enjoyable day including music from u3a members and free refreshments.

There was such a buzz in the room and comments such as "This has such a lovely welcoming community feel" were much appreciated.

We had many enquiries from both u3a members and people wanting to join so we look forward to seeing many of you at future lunches.

Many thanks to those of you that set up our display - it looked lovely. Also to all members who looked after the  the table and talked to potential new members.

Just another quick update. Our lunch at Restormal Kitchen is fully booked but if you are still interested please contact the organiser who can let you know if a place becomes available.

February 2023

We had a very enjoyable time yesterday. There were nine of us seated round an oval table which allowed conversations to flow freely.

The lunch was good - the food, the ambience and the people. As Doug said, "you can't get much better than that!"

Many thanks to Keith for organising.

February 2023

Details of our luncheon trip to Kingswood have been emailed to all members.
