Crewe Toll Curry Tasters [Web Mirror]

4th August 2010 : Web Site Update

Gav has done it again !

Keen to keep improving the nature of our web resources, Gavin has updated the Restaurant Pages to include Google StreetView pictures and Google Maps for as many restaurants as possible.

Now, assuming there is a StreetView picture for the restaurant, instead of the pictures we used to have, you will find that the restaurant page has a split view with the upper half showing the StreetView picture and the lower half showing the Google map of the location.

New restaurants and restaurants in pedestrian areas retain the old picture format until google get their act in gear.

The original Maps can still be viewed by clicking on the map icon in the review list.

AWESOME stuff Gav :o)

Future Events

The next venue is another new restaurant Club India in Lothian Road.

So prepare to sign up and I'll look forward to seeing you all on August 25th.

The organiser will be announced soon.

See the Calendar page for more details.

2nd July 2010 : Half Year Review

Halfway through the year already! I swear the years are passing quicker as I get older.

So far we've had a mixture of New and re-visited venues with the latest being last years runner-up In Touch. It appears that Indian Restaurants are getting worse at coping with larger groups. This has meant, with our average group size being around 10 or more this year, that some of the meals have been quite slow. We can only hope that things improve as the year goes on.

Future Events

With the exception of The Verandah, the remaining venues are all new to us. I'm hoping that one or two turn out to be little gems :o)

So I'll stop wittering on and look forward to seeing you all on July 28th at Amani.

See the Calendar page for more details.

27th April 2010 : The Himalaya Revisited

Looks like another strong turnout for the revisit to The Himalaya this month. A group of twelve people have chosen to revisit the first restaurant to become Restaurant of the Year.

In actual fact, it was voted CCROTY for two years running in 2002 and 2003. I'm certainly looking forward to eating there again.

Lunchtime at Abida

Extra events have been inserted into our already overflowing calendar. Reports from Derek on Abida have been so good we just had to give it a try.

So for the curry diehards amongst you, come and join us on one of the extra events:-

1. Lunchtime on Friday 7th May
2. Evening on Wednesday 9th June

See the Calendar page for more details.

11th January 2010 : A New Calendar

Happy New Year to all of the Crewe Toll Curry Tasters!

We're only into our 2nd week back at work of the new year and already the curry website has been a hive of activity: voting for the 2009 restaurant of the year went to a re-vote and the ultimate winner was Khushi in Broughton Street. Also this year's calendar is already booked up to August with some old favourites and several new restaurants:

• Voujon
• Imans
• The Everest

We'll hopefully see some good crowds this year at curry evenings.
