October Luncheon Club is a sit-down community meal at East Cowes Town Hall on Tuesday 13 October. The £6 price includes the meal and tea or coffee, with gluten-free options available. The two-and-a-half-hour slot means you can eat without a café’s pressure to free the table for the next customer. That’s half the point of a local lunch club.
Advance booking and payment are required at East Side Curve. The council asks for both by midday on the previous Friday, so the practical deadline is Friday 9 October. The cut-off is lunchtime, not the end of Friday. Don’t leave it until the Monday. If you need the gluten-free option or have another dietary question, raise it when booking, not when the food arrives. The published details don’t list the menu.
Lunch runs from noon to 2.30pm at the York Avenue town hall. Come on your own or arrange to meet someone there. Neighbours get time to talk as well as eat. It belongs with East Cowes food and drink events that keep the cost clear and the planning simple. Bring proof of payment if the booking point provides it, and check the council’s post in case the arrangements change before the date.
