Pub Lunch The Rushbrooke Arms, Sicklesmere

The Rushbrook Arms is a lovely thatched Pub and Restaurant in the village of Sicklesmere, just 1 mile from Bury St Edmunds on the A134.
They have a large Restaurant and can accommodate large bookings and private functions. They have an outside Children's Play area and approx 20 benches in a lovely garden.Prices range from £ 7 upwards.

For the beer drinkers they stock quality Greene King Real Ales and seasonal guest ales, for example Ruddles County. The Wine list is very comprehensive and reasonably priced, stocking well known brands including Jacobs Creek.
We need to let the Rushbrook know numbers and menu choices in advance.

Follow the link to find the menus. (we are using the lunch menu)

Unfortunately I have a holiday booked and will not be able to attend, but please contact me to confirm your attendance.
If the weather is non Tiger, you can always bring your "tin tops" so that we can still have a get together.
Let me know if you are interested along with your menu choice. As soon as I have the names of those interested I will e mail the list of attendees to you all so that you can then get together to organise meeting points and routes from the various locations.
I will advise the Rushbrook of numbers and menu choices. If possible can you confirm by the 13th March
Meeting time would be around 13:00 hrs.

The Almost Cat and Fiddle Run II
Well maybe the title could be slightly misleading - although the route will be going to Derbyshire. We aren't going to either the Cat and Fiddle pub or the road into Macclesfield due to the average speed cameras which have been installed.

Instead the route into Derbyshire will be the same as last year. We will then go via the A515 towards Buxton stopping off at the Bull i' th' Thorn pub for lunch (no my keyboard hasn't broken that is the correct spelling).

We don't have a menu to prebook as they change it every couple of weeks (presumably to keep things seasonal) but I have checked costs and starters are £ 3.95 mains between £ 7 and £ 15. I am booking tables for lunch and to do this require a £ 10 cash deposit per person. Please send deposits to the address on the right. If you pay a deposit and don't make it on the day then I am afraid the money will go to the landlord - I can't ask for places to be kept on a Saturday lunchtime and not have people turn up.

The deposits will be handed back to you before we sit down for the meal so that each person can pay for their own food - do you want to try and work out how to split a bill 20 odd ways...

So no excuses - if the weather is really bad bring the tin-top instead! I need the deposits by the August Bank Holiday Weekend

After a (hopefully) short lunch break we will proceed by some minor roads to drive the Winnats Pass and then loop through Bradwell before stopping off at Bakewell for a break from the cars and the chance to stretch your legs.

Once out of Bakewell we will head back via Matlock and Matlock Bath before going back to Ripley and then off home.

08:00Meet: Peterborough Services on the A1 PE7 8UQ
08:15Depart services and head towards Oakham.
09:00Meeting point: The Noel Arms, Bridge Street, Langham, Oakham LE15 7HU

10:30Leave services on M1 heading for Ripley.
11:00Arrive at Butterley Park pub opposite the police headquarters. DE5 3QP
11:10Leave pub and head out on the A515 towards Buxton
