Confirmed
I have just realised that the Six Nations rugby starts that weekend, so I may have a desire to head to a suitable pub late afternoon on Saturday, to watch England play Ireland
Iād be up for that!
I might be able to day trip for the Sunday. Will try to drag @Kate_Davis alongā¦
Ok guys I will investigate Bunkhouse for Saturday night.
And yes Peter Rugby is a great shout. It will likely be cold and dark by the time it comes on anyway.
Guy
Keep us posted on venue decision, easy day trip for us
@PaulSagar Could I have a ride?
Fo sure. Leave Saturday AM.
I am due to be out for a little stroll on Saturday, and may pop in to the pub for meal and saying hi later (as long as I donāt disrupt the rugby ) so please post which pub you end up at if at all.
Cheers
Hi team,
Itās Ā£15 a night at the thorpe farm bunkhouse near Hathersage. Shall I pull the trigger for Saturday night? Iām sure thereās somewhere that shows the rugby in Hathersage.
I would be booking for five which I think would be:
Me
Catrin
Martin
Peter
Laura
Guy
Bamford one looks a bit nicer and Bamford looks a bit nicer but they wonāt pick up the phone
Thanks Guy!
The Little John Hotel in Hathersage have told me that they will be showing the rugby and they do food (huge portions of basic fare when I was last there, but that was ages ago).
I also note that the current forecast says -2degrees AM & 0degrees PM, with feel-like temps of -7 & -4, but with completely blue skies! So South-facing boulder faces only!
A week is a long time in meteorological predictions.
The Little John is fairly described as serving āhugely generous portions of nearly inedible foodā! I am no food snob but I avoid itā¦
However if you are staying at Thorpe Farm and want to walk back to there then it is probably the most sensible choice (and maybe the food and service has improved?)
Last time I was forced to have chips there (peer pressure) it was like eating heated-up papier-mâché. You have been warned
I guess we could always just watch the rugby there and then eat somewhere else.
Another alternative might be to go to the Shoulder of Mutton at Bradwell instead; they said that they are probably showing it, depending on what the people in the pub at the time want to watch; but thatās a ten minute drive away.
Right weāre all booked into the bunkhouse for the Saturday night.
There must be somewhere else we could eat in Hathersage if we watch the Rugby there. Fish and chips?
Thereās other pubs and the George hotel, 2 Indian places (Sangams and Maazi) and the old bank on the main road has now been converted into a restaurant
Good show Guy. I donāt believe thereās a fish & chips shop, but there are a couple of other pubs & a curry place; I guess booking would be advisable for Sat evening.
I will investigate and book somewhere. Personally i think curry is an excellent plan
