Aug Twee8 (21 Aug) The Eagle
Right, I’m not drinking at the moment (as long as they serve soda & fresh lime), my turn to host. I’m thinking… THE EAGLE2 Shepherdess WalkLondonN1 7LBhttp://www.theeaglehoxton.co.uk/ @quitepeculiar is there any new pub openings?”

That’s a difficult decision. The Eagle is iconic and I’ve always wanted to go inside. However, the other one is more local and I like all the ‘locally sourced’ blah blah too. I thought I couldn’t come but now it looks like I can. So will round up who I can and get the Canuckian lot alerted. Hope we get votes and a good crowd! Would be nice to see you!

I vote Eagle as the menu looks a little more accesible and it’s been a while since we were in Shoreditch.Although it is quiz night. Might need to book a table as I think they get busy. ( @staystylish it’s also 21st Aug, not 23rd!)

@ewebber Changed! Oops! Although I’m dying to try Hunter S’s scotch egg I’m leaning towards The Eagle too as @Janice said it’s iconic and I’ve always wanted to go inside. If we need to book then it might be a good idea to get a rough head count. Therefore… role call please! Anyone coming? @ollie @stephenhignell @3djamie @marty21 @hackneye @dml82 @tamlyn @goodlegs @jystewart @mattyc @kuxi @monkchips @quitepeculiar“

Pretty sure I’m free for this one too. I’d opt for The Eagle over the Hunter S- last time I was there it felt a bit soulless. The Eagle’s been through a few different managers (I think) over the past few years, but the beer’s pretty good and there’s plenty of space.
ewebber
I should be able to make it along.

Right, I had a chat with The Eagle. They say they can hold us a table for 10 but if there’s only 2-3 people hogging up for an hour then they wouldn’t be possible to keep the table free as they get a lot of demand for tables for the quiz on Wednesdays (i have mentioned that we’re not there for quiz night (or should we????? anyone up for a quiz night edition of twee8?) so they can throw us in a corner). So basically, can we have a group of 5-6 people showing up at 7pm?
janice
No quiz for me. 🙂 I am going to try my hardest to get there for 7 but will probably be coming from Southend so a bit at the mercy… want to PM me a phone number and I can text you I’m on my way.

Timing is everything – I’m travelling on twee8 day (yes, again) but I’ve not forgotten – I’ll come to the next I can!
quitepeculiar
Ahoy! I shall endeavour to make it down, but I may have plans with a friend. I’m not sure how set they are, or if they’re a sort of \yeah we’ll hang out… next week…ish” sort of thing. So I’m a bit of a maybe. Will confirm with the Twee8sters closer to the date. I also have not yet been to The Eagle but noting the similarity of their website with another pub I know fairly well The Albany it should be all right. Will pass on the Twee8 details to The Tom. Hope to see you there.”

Right, i’m change the reservation for 6 instead. 10 is a bit too many if people are not showing up as they are busy tomorrow night.
janice
Els, I plan to be there, coming from Southend so may be early or late. See you all later.
