Sunday 9th March 2008

After a belated Mother's Day visit, I joined a noisy C & M 11's at Courtyard cafe in Dorking where the proper coffee machine was out of action. (instant - £1)
It was double figures courtesy of Jake's Saturday section regulars. Most welcome in a year of more (I suspect) declining numbers.
Mike led us via Were Street to an old favourite, Little Park Hatch.
The portions certainly looked ample but at reasonable prices. A beerintheevening.com reviewer mentions "no rif raf" (sic) whatever that is.
Most followed Mike's route to tea going past Duke of Kent school where a couple of clowns in a green Range Rover chucked a firework out of the window narrowly missing Daphne but successfully frightening the birds and producing a deafening noise to rival a rear tyre blow out (at 160 psi).
Then it was downhill through a showery Peaslake to the PO at Abinger. Tea & cake - £3.50.
