Little River pub meal mid-week nights in winter

**Transalper** · 3rd June 2014, 18:30

Want to ride to the Little River Pub for food after work?
I've done it a couple of times recently and just thinking if you're not put off by the cold and dark then anyone want to join me?

I've done mostly Wednesday evenings but also may do a Tuesday or Thursday for whatever reason.

I'm going again Wednesday night (4th June 2014) unless it's blowing a gale or raining.

Expect to pass/leave from the Halswell Vets (393 Halswell Rd) at 6:30pm and will collect anyone waiting there.

Just heading straight out.
An expression of interest would be good if you want me to stick to that plan otherwise I'll assume I'm going alone and potentially go earlier, or later, or not at all depending upon my current state of procrastination.

Good ride tonight, stars are out, not much wind, not much traffic.
Thanks for the company and conversation Shoshoni.
Was somewhat tempted by Gebbies and the Bays on the way home but didn't want to be toooo late back.

Bugger, saw this too late.

Keep posting if you're going riding, if I can make it fit I'll come along.

Good idea. Hard pressed to clear work in time.

Whats the grub like at the pub? I've always parked up at the Cafe but it's getting very busy now

I like my food simple, steak, eggs, chips, tomato sauce.... about $16, no other extras for me but some guy did have a plate full of green stuff the other week.
Steak quite eatable too, not a rubbish cut like you get at so many other places.

I usually go to the first cafe if going for lunch but try getting there about 11:30am to beat the rush.

Might go again this week, weather looking okish.
If you can't make Halswell by 6:30ish then just come out in your own time and catch us at the pub. I was a little late myself last time anyway.

Anyone else thinking about coming along to Little River tonight for a ride?

**Transalper** · 23rd July 2014, 15:41

Yep, the rain has stopped, the sky is clear and wind is calm. Great conditions.
Steak eggs and chips here I come.

Why have I found this thread just now.

I'd be keen for next week if the weather is good.

Was a nice ride out thought I lost TA for a few minutes, I didn't know he was having technical difficulty's with all his heated gear.

**Transalper** · 24th July 2014, 12:20

Yea need to remember which plug goes where but seeing my riding buddies go straight to the fire at the pub while I don't feel the urgency makes it all worth while.

Thinking Tuesday evening (that's tomorrow) might be the go this week, rest of the weeks forecast not looking so good with bigger winds and rain.
Doesn't absolutely have to be the Little River Pub but it is nice, reasonably cheap and quiet... so long as we get there at a reasonable time before the occasional appearance of the local rugby club a bit later. Actually only seen them once as I was finishing up.

What were you thinking about tonight Steak, Eggs & Chips at Little River or Bacon Wrapped Sausages at the Valley Inn.
