Ashtead SecretSupper

Ashtead Secret Supper Club is for people in & around Ashtead to meet over a good
meal. Think 'Come Dine With Me', but with no sarcastic voice-over!

Sold at auction for barely €50 after label damage meant nobody recognised it. Turned out to be the last-known bottle of Romanée-Conti 1899.

@TheWhiteHorsePu @EllyWentworth I loved @EllyWentworth 's food when she was in Dartmouth!

[Nick Nairn @NickNairn]

Shocking 👇

@michelrouxjr Auchan or Carrefour?

[Ashtead SecretSupper @AshteadSSC]

@MattChristmas1 That is so cheap even then! The inflation calculator says to double the price for today's money! I remember paying £25 for a 3 course meal in Oxford in 1989 (a week's rent in 1986 was also £25)...

@FoodChatMatt Is the Eagle & Child (aka 'Bird & Baby'), opposite the Lamb & Flag, open again yet?

[Ashtead SecretSupper @AshteadSSC]

@FoodChatMatt That's amazing!

[Ashtead SecretSupper @AshteadSSC]

@FoodChatMatt @Top50Gastropubs And... The Baliwick Arms in Englefield Green is also fantastic - not really a gastropub, but amazing steaks!

[Ashtead SecretSupper @AshteadSSC]

@FoodChatMatt @Top50Gastropubs Oh, and The Victoria in Oxshott is fabulous too!

[Ashtead SecretSupper @AshteadSSC]

@FoodChatMatt @Top50Gastropubs No1 is fabulous - been there a couple of times. Never heard of the Surrey ones, but I'm always pretty impressed by the Running Horses in Mickleham.

[Matthew Williams @FoodChatMatt]

Only two Surrey pubs in this year's @Top50Gastropubs list, and both in the bonus 50 rather than the main selection. Who do you think should have been in with a shout? 🤔

[Ashtead SecretSupper @AshteadSSC]

@FoodChatMatt Such sad news 😢

"Former Dinner by Heston Blumenthal chef @APWChef is returning to the industry following a three-year break with a multi-venue restaurant project in Cobham, Surrey." https://t.co/uieeNO8cVq

@JancisRobinson @AlsaceWines Absolutely crazy. Rolly Gassmann have a petition https://t.co/zAUxxHKfxM

@FoodChatMatt Easy! The Royal Oak, Fritham. Tiny pub but lots of outside space, no pumps - barrels lined up behind the bar, very simple (but perfect) local food, proper fire, very friendly. https://t.co/7GlpfaHYoW

Do you have a view about having a plastic, fenced off, football pitch in Ashtead Rec? As the Council won't send a letter to every household, or commit to a binding referendum, we're distributing our own leaflet to alert residents & asking all to use the Council website survey.
