Mid-Essex Mid-Week Nocturnal Series

[jiberjaber]

It appears that all three routes north of home towards Great Waltham are flooded 

Looks like I'm going to be a no-show...

Only flood free route I could think would be Woodhill Road and then across Chelmsford (through Baddow & Moulsham)

The rivers were very high when I walked to the pub on Sunday night and there is a flood warning for Can and Wid. https://riverlevels.uk/flood-warning-river-can-and-chelmer-through-chelmsford

No mention of Hammonds area though but I expect thats just as bad.

So, next Wednesday evening, shall we have a festive curry or some such?

  It's going to be somewhere near Witham isn't it ? (So not the Jalsa Ghar in Dunmow or Ruby's at Tolly D'Arcy.) Coggeshall Spice; Omar's, H. Peverel?

[jiberjaber]

Needs a reccie I think....

I’m going to struggle to get in there before next Wednesday, shame they aren’t open for lunch, but Google reviews are good.

[psyclist]

I'm hoping to ride across. Work should be a bit quieter this week.

[Oscar's dad]

I think we should just book a table at Omar’s.

I think we could be a table of 10 to 15 as I have been messaging a few people.  I will attempt to book a table this evening, Omar's aren't picking up at the moment.  I'll go for 8pm and explain some folks might drift in a bit later.

bike parking? Is there a car park at the rear?

Doesn't look like it - there'll be a big stack of bikes out the front I think ...

Sorry, I can't do it. Bummer.

There's a zebra crossing out front, I did wonder if we could get away with using the poles for the bikes lol...  Google satellite view looks like rear parking.

[psyclist]

I would think parking bikes at the front of Omars would be safer, attached to each other.

I was just checking their website. They do supply alcohol don't they, or is a BYOB arrangement?

Also closing time is shown as 10pm. That's good for me as I have a long trek home, but thought I'd flag it ... not that it's far to the nearest pub!

[Oscar's dad]

No idea about the booze situation.  There is a Co-op nearby.

Last time we were there, many years ago, they did not have an alcohol licence, but the family also owned the off-licence next door so you went there to buy your bottles which they would provide glasses for at the table.

Opening hours
12:30-2pm
5:30pm- late
7 days a week inc Bank Holidays

As a restaurant of Bangaladeshi origin you will not find pork on our menu and we do not make a profit from alcohol, meaning that we are unliciensed and do not serve corkage charges for customers who bring their own alcoholic beverages to enjoy with their meal.

Morning.

I'm going to have to bail on tonight I have come down with a stinking cold and while it is the season of sharing I don't feel inclined to make you all ill.

I have £11.20 from last weeks whip. Should I hang on to it for next week for The Compasses or does some one want me to do a transfer it to them so you have it for tonight.
