BUBBLE INN MEETINGS

WHY? The Bubble Meet was originally started to get a group of friends to regularly meet up for a chat and some food and drink. Friends from various car clubs were also invited and as time went on the Bubble Inn evolved into a friendly monthly meet for like minded people in a variety of cars. Regulars as well as first timers, young and old. Families are welcome. WHEN? We meet at the Bubble Inn, Stenson once a month on a Sunday afternoon. The meeting is from 12.00 midday until about 4pm. WHERE? We park in the car park opposite the pub (see picture below). If it is dry, we park on the grass area next to the car park. The Bubble Inn is a unique venue with a canal side setting which has been converted from a 200 year old barn into a public house serving high quality food and drink all day, every day. The pub is 200 yards from the Bubble Wharf. DISCOUNT? A Bubble Meet membership card is available at the meet for anyone attending. It costs £1 with all the money raised going to charity (Cancer Research UK). The card when presented at the bar entitles you to 10% discount off your food (drinks not included) anytime you visit (not just on the day of the meet). CLICK HERE TO SEE A SAMPLE MENU
