We are a sociable group which meets once a month for lunch. We like to try food from different countries as well as traditional Scottish fayre and generally meet in the Paisley and Glasgow area. This year we have already tasted cuisine from Nepal and China, as well as traditional Scottish fayre. Our members make suggestions for new places to visit and different foods to sample. Equally, we also like to return to restaurants which have become firm favourites.

Our next lunch will be in Phat Bhuna, 13 Canal Street Paisley on Thursday 22nd October at 12:30pm, We have been to this restaurant before and enjoyed a very good meal. Please inform Alex using the contact link above if you plan to attend the lunch.
