MINI Meat! Friday 25th April - The Filling Station, Edinburgh Omni

Time for another legendary NMS MINI Meat! For those who are new to NMS since the last one, the basic premise is that we meet up at a "central belt" reasonably-priced restaurant, and basically have a chat and eat some great (usually) food.

Exact time and location TBC, but is usually a 7pm meet for 7.30pm food and it will be central belt somewhere, usually around Edinburgh somewhere. Will confirm the details a bit nearer the time.

All those up for a meet up and some good food, say AYE! Please also state how many will be in your party.

1. AndyP & Lenore (2)
2. The Harper Clan (4)
3. Craig & Jude (2)
4. The Stone Clan (2 + 1/4)
5. We Three Kings (2 + 1/4)
6. Dave (1)
7. Stephen & Allyson (2)
8. Digital lemming (Andrew) (1)
9. Eddie & Rachael (2)

Total so far: 18 1/2 :)

21st April is a Monday?!?!

I'll put you down as a "maybe" Davy. :thumbs up:

Of course cheers Andy ;)

AYE x 2 + baby stone

As long as Sarah is in good health then we can attend so put us down.
We will be 'we three Kings' by that point.

All added... First time we've been in need of a high chair at a MINI Meat. And we'll be needing two! :D :lol:

Yeah am up for this. Just myself probably, downside to having a young kid is need to leave the missus at home!

Cheers

Good stuff. Be good to catch up. Haven't seen you guys for ages! :thumbs up::thumbs up:

I havent been to a NMS event in even longer I think.
In fact cant remember the last thing I was at.
I remember when I used to be at something at least every month.

Really looking forward to the return of the mini meats:thumbs up:

Yeah, it's difficult getting a location which suits "all". Sorry Linz.:frown:

But, there's plenty "northern" members, so you could always organise a meet up and food. Just start a thread in MINI Meets & Social Forum. :thumbs up:

Not a problem........definately be down for the Kirkaldy meet though :-)

Yup that's a thought, when I've cleared the bomb site that's my new kitchen, will sort that!

Have a good evening though,

Linz.

Any ideas yet where you are thinking of having the meet Andy?

We're actually think about Edinburgh's Hard Rock Cafe. They have a couple of set (2) course menu's for £15pp so it's not hugely expensive and there's no doubt the quality is WAY better than the likes of a Frankie & Benny's.

However, we realise there are drawbacks...

Parking is one. Although we could all park in the multi-story underneath the Vue Cinema. But then that's a bit of a trek to George Street.
Babies. HRC is probably too loud and not really suitable for newborn babies, and I wouldn't want to chose somewhere that precludes any chance of you and Rob coming along.

So, happy for thoughts on the Hard Rock Cafe idea. If that's a NO then we have other ideas.

Depending on what time you were thinking you can park on George St for free or could park in John Lewis not as much of a trek

We'd be into the free period, William as we'd be meeting up at 7 or 7.30 for a 7.30 to 8 food. But it's finding spaces for everyone. Lenore and I can drive up and down George street twice before we find ONE space, never mind 9 or 10.

Haven't parked in St Jame's for a while, but that's a good idea right enough.

I'm not fussed where we eat, but I don't want to have a pain getting parked. As you know Andy we had problems finding spaces the last time we parked on George St

Absolutely. I think it would need to be St James's multi story, if we go with HRC.

I don't mine I can always drop Christine and baby off and then park up and walk ;)

Parking is a real issue and if it's raining I don't want to be walking a distance with a new baby.
Not sure if hard rock is such a good idea

Stick me down as a maybe ta. I've got that weekend off and haven't decided if I'm going anywhere yet!

Was at the hard rock in Glasgow a few weeks back and it was quite loud so not sure how the soon to be parents feel about that :)

Con you put me down for the meat !! wherever it is, I should be able to get along.

Certainly the noise level is one of the considerations in a Hard Rock. I've added you as a maybe, could you let me know if it's you + 1 or just you?
