On Tuesday 5th September 24 members of the U3A Dining Group went to restaurant “Victoria Station” in Parcent for lunch. This was the group’s first ever time there and an excellent way to start the 2023/2024 season of group activities.
Whereas the usual practice is to offer one lunchtime and one evening event, it was decided that the distance involved might deter some members from driving to Parcent at night. Given that on the second occasion on Tuesday 19th September we doubled the number of attendees to 48, we are confident that we made the right decision.
Unfortunately, on both days, uncertainty about the weather meant that the luncheon had to be held indoors rather than outside in the attractive garden. Whilst it was not a problem to accommodate 24 people on the 5th, conditions were somewhat cramped and noisy on the 19th September. However, nobody can predict the weather.
Victoria and her staff could not do enough for us; the food was excellent, beautifully presented and plentiful. All the feedback I received was positive.
I have no hesitation in recommending that “Victoria Station” be added to the Dining Group’s list of future venues.
