"Thirteen CCC members made their summertime pilgrimage across to East Hampshire to an old Club favourite having booked a couple of weeks in advance. Previously used Covid screening areas, which are still very useful at giving individual tables some privacy, were dismantled in advance to get us all on one long table. We were warmly received by the senior staff as usual. The menu had been updated in February’22, since the previous full club visit and contains an impressive selection of main courses, most of which are bespoke to this venue. The ‘Jungli Mas’ was particularly popular. The staff spoke with authority responding to Members questions about some of the dishes that they had not seen before. (The sauces of many dishes are available commercially from their sister ‘Honey Garden Sauces’ business). As is the case with large groups, chatting prior to service, some of the Members had forgotten what they’d ordered. This was no problem for the excellent staff who quickly rectified any issues. It was noticed that a high volume of takeaway collections and outgoing deliveries was noted – none of this detracted from the activity in the restaurant. You can guarantee a great culinary experience here, and at good value for money. No wonder this restaurant keeps winning awards! IC"
