Have heard good things about this place and was thinking it might be nice to take a run out to this place one night and fill up the car park with our motors. Any one up for this, food is all fresh and huge portions at sensible prices

It's been my plan to go, probably stay, at Billing in June since last year . . . Dinner would be nice, but would mean me not drinking at all throughout the day.

This is unlikely . . . Although we'll see how it goes.

Went here last night, food was great and portions were huge.

Spoke with the manager about a possible meet and he was fine with the idea but asked if we could pre book rather than turning up on mass. Car park isnt huge but would hold a goood 10-15 american cars.

A brief discusion was had last night and the posabuility of a monthly mid week meet for the summer months was put forward.

This place is located on the A5 roundabout at towcester meaning easy access from either end of the A5,M1 junction 15a and the M40 Junction 10

If anyone is interested i will start a new thread where names can be added
