Feb.This meal was held at "The London Inn" at Morchard Bishop. in the end 29 members experienced the hospitality at the London Inn, The numbers attending was down from the original 33 due to occurrence of the respiratory infection that is going the rounds at the moment. Those who did attend were once again very well served by the pub with many people having to take "doggy Bags" of left over food at the end of the meal due to the size of their portions. This really is a "do not have a starter if you want room for a desert" type of pub! The deserts are also large and very very moreish. Thanks once again to all at the pub who made our visit so good.for pictures of deserts see side.
