Come join us for a special Indian buffet lunch at Veer Dhara in St Albans. Veer Dhara offer their specialty all you can eat buffet on Sundays from 12:30-3pm, so I have booked a table for 6 early in this window at 12:45pm to give plenty of time to sample the foods on offer. Caution: i hope I don't eat all the buffet food before you get there - arrive late at your own risk!

This event follows pickleball from our sports group - feel free to join that event too, to make the calories from the buffet feel hard-earned! Here's the link to the pickleball event https://meetu.ps/e/Q1zzl/121h8Z/i
