The group meets every two months in restaurants that are easy to travel to by car or bus. We find places that are reasonably priced and usually arrange a fixed price that includes a tip. If you find it difficult to come alone, please let Maggie know, as we make new members welcome.

Some restaurants accept payment on the night of the meal. When restaurants require payment in advance, this is collected at General Meetings. We have a card reader for paying by debit or credit card. Alternatively you can pay by bank transfer which saves you having to queue at the General Meeting.

For details of future meals tap the Calendar button and select Dining Out from the Group drop-down list, or refer to the Next Meals section below.

Recent Meals

The group went to Baba Turkish restaurant, and the general opinion was very satisfied. This restaurant is next to Sneinton Market place, and we had a side room booked just for our group, with a bar and no background music. The staff catered very well with our group of forty, and the meals were generous and tasty. There was a range of meat and fish kebabs, moussaka and much more.

Altogether, very enjoyable evening!


This was our first visit to an all you can eat buffet.

There was a lot of positive feedback about the food, and it was certainly value for money. If you are planning to take any hungry youngsters out for a meal, this venue is to be recommended.


A very good time was had by all at our Christmas Lunch at Mapperley Golf Club. The room was decorated and the attractive table decorations made by Gwen and Mary were raffled off at the end.

The catering was very good and after our meal Leanne led a ‘singalong’ including popular Christmas songs. Everyone had dressed in their best and some strutted their stuff dancing!

These events do not organise themselves, so many thanks to Mary, Gwen, Julie and Phillis
