Meet Up In Ashton-under-Lyne 17th July 2016

Post by Alchemist »

Myself and rshome are arranging a meet up on Sunday 17th July in Ashton-under-Lyne, first visiting ASM Indian Specialist Grocery store for a browse and buy in and the for a curry at the Indian Ocean Restaurant (and maybe a tour of the kitchen if we can bluff our way in!)

We are planning to meet at the store around 3:15pm and then eat at the Indian Ocean at about 4:30pm.

If you want to join us for either/both parts of the meet up then drop me a PM - all welcome! :thumbup:

Enjoy your curry, lads. I will be working and my "curry action" for that day will be a Nong Shim Shin Cup (subject to the kettle having been fixed).

At the moment not very often, but hopefully others will follow our lead and arrange some similar meet ups in their parts of the world.

I have now sweet talked the restaurant manager (a lovely guy called Gaz) into letting us have look around the kitchen, hopefully we will report back with some new tips and photos :thumbup:

I wonder if they will let us taste their base gravy???

Good stuff, Alchy, you can only (politely) ask for such things as tasting their base gravy (etc, etc) and see what they say? Look forward to hearing about how you all get on..... 8-)
