i may well come the next one if i can be arsed hahhaha but there should be a meet nearer to ,mine hahaha
I've been looking at other venues that fit the criteria that are pretty central to everyone, the Raven Inn at Glazebury doesn't seem too bad? Someone in the area would need to recce it first though? View Map
Well I'm Tom, I was out back with Robj and a few tothers, talking to Chris aka Fruit bat, I was wearing a grey t-shirt and asking you how the IAM was going lol....
There's a few pubs along that road that look OK but no idea what any of them are actually like. Another thats quite nice is the Black Swan at Rixton - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=The+Black+Swan+-+Pub+and+Dining,+Rixton,+Warrington&hl=en&ll=53.416195,-2.456195&spn=0.006842,0.013797&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=6.945272,14.128418&oq=black+swan+rixto&t=h&hq=The+Black+Swan+-+Pub+and+Dining,&hnear=Rixton,+Warrington,+United+Kingdom&z=16&layer=c&cbll=53.41617,-2.456212&panoid=AreGuu2gaa0gwfMIlbdgfw&cbp=12,354.12,,0,1.4 and The Olde Red Lion about 30 seconds down the road - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=The+red+lion+rixton&hl=en&ll=53.414138,-2.456313&spn=0.003421,0.006899&sll=53.41617,-2.456217&sspn=0.006893,0.013797&t=h&hq=The+red+lion&hnear=Rixton,+Warrington,+United+Kingdom&fll=53.413548,-2.457032&fspn=0.006842,0.013797&z=17&layer=c&cbll=53.414138,-2.456313&panoid=fhdi5FjS0yK0FLspLYJ7sg&cbp=12,331.33,,0,-3.08 Both are fairly big, do food and have loads of parking. I think once a month is enough to meet up and it would be nice to move venue every now and then just so people don't always have as far to travel. It's also a good excuse to try out lots of different pubs!
Yeah I agree, if we compile a list of pubs and ask people local to them to check out and and share their opinions, it'd work out really well.
well if you want somewhere a bit further.... my mate Dave runs a pub in swanwick, derbyshire, 1hr ride from warrington on ace roads... http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cross-Keys/29454867576 yes he;s a biker, the barmaids are fit as fk, live bands on, top keg beers, great food.... last time there was a load of us going he rigged up the barbie and we camped over on the grass so we could get pissed then had a top ride out the day after. if you're interested in a overnighter or just a good ride there n back let me know and i'll get the ball rolling
