Good to see all you grans again. The Barbakan was such a lovely place to have our lunch. I would certainly be happy to go there for our next meet up. Great food and those puds were something else!

Another friendly get-together yesterday with excellent food and massive cakes; three cakes and five spoons and we still couldn't finish the meringues. Good photo showing the dainty puddings artyfarty.

Nice to meet you kirbylass and
thanks for the recipe. It sounds delicious.

See you all in the new year, I hope.

Had a great afternoon in York with these lovely ladies. Photo shows us just about to demolish dessert. The portions were huge so just ordered three with five spoons!

Just one week to go until the York meetup at Barbakan Polish Restaurant, Walmgate, at 12.30 on the 22nd Nov.

I've booked a table for 6, so we've got room for one more if anybody fancies joining us for delicious food and a good chat.

oldgoat Sun 10-Nov-19 08:43:39

I've never managed a Barbakan pudding either artyfarty but those cakes are calling me. Must make room this time.

Artyfarty Sat 09-Nov-19 14:34:02

? oldgoat Turkish, Polish it was delicious! I’m going to leave room for a dessert this time. ???

oldgoat Sat 09-Nov-19 11:13:11

Actually, it's Polish food at Barbakan ( another senior moment!).

oldgoat Sat 09-Nov-19 08:50:32

I'll be booking the table at Barbakan on Monday.
It would be great to have some more Grans meet us for delicious Turkish lunch and maybe a look around the Christmas Market.

Artyfarty Fri 08-Nov-19 12:23:36

Definitely the more the merrier! Looking forward to meeting old friends and new.

oldgoat Fri 08-Nov-19 07:57:27

The more the merrier Kirbylass.
See you on the 22nd at Barbakan.

Hello marydoll

Hoping that some more Yorkshire Grans will join us on the 22nd. Go on! You know you want to!.

I'm really looking forward to the lovely Polish food and cakes at Barbakan - and it's Christmas Market time in York, too. Hope some of the North Yorkshire and Teesside Grans will be able to join us.

Too short notice for me unfortunately. I'm sure you'll have a great time though.

Alygran Mon 04-Nov-19 12:48:02

We are meeting for lunch at Barbakan in York at 12.30 on 22 November. Anyone who would like to join us will be very welcome.
The restaurant is a short walk (about 20 minutes) from the main line station.
