What we do
Food, wine and friendship - this is a group for Gourmets, Gourmands and Oenophiles. All are private functions.
You do not need to come to every lunch; choose those you wish to try. Non-members and friends welcome. (Maximum 2 U3A events).
We aim for an easy-going, friendly group: distinctly non-stuffy. All restaurants/hotels are amongst the very finest in Cumbria and North Lancs. Events are run on the day by our hostesses, Wendy Milburn-Dickinson and Jane Bateman.
