Dave - Much depleted attendance for our visit to the red chilli due to transport problems for el pres and Jon. The 3 of us met in the brown bear - a good old traditional boozer - for a couple of carlings to prepare ourselves for the long walk next door! Prawn puri was the standout dish for me and also the nan bread was nice and crisp. The chicken curry was good and overall a very pleasant evening was had. With only 4 of us in June and 3 in July should I be booking a candlelit table for 2 in August?!

Jeff - The Brown Bear had its usual one real ale on, but it was palatable enough. The Red Chilli was relatively busy but emptied out quite early and by 9 pm we were the only people in there. Bottled beer was available. Only 3 of us tonight. I chose an excellent starter, Chicken Moricha, plentiful with a sweet and sour sauce to which I am giving 10 without hesitation. Lamb Rogan was also enjoyable although not to the same standard. A request for a free Baileys was cheerfully accepted at the end, and then we chatted to the manager while the bill was paid. He was very friendly and at the very least feigned interest in the web-site!

Brian - A very enjoyable evening, although I think it was the lowest attendance of any curry club outing that I've been on. Calamari starter and Fish Karahi main were outstanding. Beer, sides, bread all to a good standard too (I really don't see how anyone can produce a chapati that excels). Red Chilli is obviously the new Empress, and the Brown Bear, refreshingly, remains a proper boozer (could have done with having a few more beers on though).
