Dinner at Macellaio Soho with BYO
Macellaio is an Italian restaurant famous for its fine steak. In fact, Macellaio means "butcher". The steak they serve is exclusively from the Fassona beef breed, which is native to the mountain valleys in the north of Genoa. Macellaio takes pride in sourcing authentic Italian ingredients, preparing them with love, and expertly cooking each dish bringing to life a delightful trattoria dining experience.
**The menu is primarily focused on quality beef,** however there are also some vegetarian starters and main courses (pasta) and a chicken main course. Before signing up for this event **please make sure that the menu is suitable for any dietary requirements you may have.** Here is the full menu [https://www.macellaiorc.com/soho](https://www.macellaiorc.com/soho)
For the BYO for our table of 8 people I will take a 6 bottles of wine with an average retail value of £20 per bottle - 1 bottle of sparkling wine, 2 white wines, 2 red wines and a dessert wine. With typical restaurant mark-ups these wines would cost around £60 on their wine list, so this is a great opportunity to enjoy delicious food and drink fine wines without paying restaurant prices (for the wine!).
The pre-pay for this event is £53 which includes:-
\- the 6 bottles of BYO wine
\- £30 credit towards your food bill
\- paypal/meetup fees
The wine which I will take is an integral of this event so please do NOT ask if you can attend if you are not happy to share in all 6 bottles of wine. On the evening you will pay for the balance of your food bill and any additional drinks you order.
**Please note that Meetup now charge an additional fee to attendees on top of the price which the Organiser sets. This fee is paid direct to Meetup and is beyond our control.**
**REFUND POLICY:** If you cancel your place by Sunday 28th June latest you will get a refund of £50 but, IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE, only if there is someone on the 'waitlist' who books and pays for your place.
**TRANSPORT:** The nearest station is Piccadilly Circus
**WAITLIST:** If this event is fully booked and you would like to attend if someone cancels, post a comment in the event to let me know that you are interested.
Cheers,

Free dancing, tea and cakes from 12.30 pm to 2.30 pm. Many good dancers, who are friendly and will happily dance with newcomers. [)
George Tudor Hart Says about this Dance "There's a nine piece dance orchestra in white tuxedos, an area of the floor sectioned off as a large dance floor and seats for around 120 people. Free tea and cakes are served at around 1.30 pm, The dancers are a mix of locals who many of whom have lived in Spitalfields for yonks, and visitors from other parts of London. The music is good, quicksteps are in abundance, and there's some, but not too much, sequence dancing. When I was there the crowd were friendly, all could dance and were easy and obliging when asked to dance to ask to dance. Several were very good dancers. The area was sheltered and tea and cakes were served efficiently, and with style in China cups, not styrophone. There are clean public loos within in the market. The stalls in the market are interesting and varied, Some good hat shops are there, and Tracey Ermine's shop is around the corner outside the market. This event is held every month on Wednesday afternoons from 12.30 pm to 2.30 pm on the They don't do it in the colder months after September "

Here are the ice cream parlours we’ll be visiting:

So the plan is extremely simple. We’re to visit each food place and savour their unique delicacies hence the term ‘Chocolate crawl’.

Sunday 5th July 🥐🏃♀️ THE 5-STOP GIRLY BAKERY RUN & PICNIC 🏃♀️🥐
Let’s be real... the only thing better than a Sunday morning run is a Sunday morning run that involves **FIVE** different bakeries, immaculate vibes, and a park picnic with the girls. Welcome to the Girly Bakery Run - not your average run club, but a rolling 5k pastry crawl through central London!
Whether you run every day, haven't run since school, or literally just want to walk and eat baked goods (same), you need to be here. This is the ultimate, low-pressure Sunday morning. Think: beautiful London streets, securing the bag(s) at five iconic spots, and ending with a huge community picnic in the park to sip our coffees, debrief, and eat our body weight in butter.
### 🎀 The Setup
We’ve escalated this to a 5-stop tour because we simply couldn't narrow it down. We've got the route, the timings, and the picnic spot completely sorted so you can just rock up and vibe.
* **The Route:** We’re doing a \~5k loop hitting up **Chestnut Bakery**, **Ole & Steen**, **Cöödie**, plus **two surprise stops** along the way (& moreeee!). We will be ending the route at our final stop to grab iced coffees/matchas before heading to the park.
* **What’s included:** Your ticket is a tiny cover charge to help us host the event, map out this epic 5-stop route, run the community, and set up our post-run picnic spot!
* **The Strategy:** Sharing is HIGHLY recommended! The best way to survive a 5-stop pastry crawl is to split treats with your new besties so you get to taste a little bit of everything without crashing before the park.
* **What to bring:**
* **The Cargo:** Bring a small backpack, tote, or cross-body bag to safely stash your pastries as we move!
* **The Funds:** Everyone will be buying their own treats and final coffees, so have your Apple Pay ready. (You can obviously eat a little as we go, hehe, but the ultimate goal is to build a massive stash for the park!)
### 📍 The Details
* **When:** Sunday 5th July, meeting at 10:00 AM sharp.
* **Start Line:** Bond Street Station (Elizabeth Line).
* **The Paces:** Choose your own adventure! We’ll be splitting into two groups, and **we will have a dedicated leader for both**, so absolutely no one gets left behind:
* 🏃♀️ **The Slow Run Group:** A super easy, chatty, sexy pace.
* 🚶♀️ **The Walking Group:** A gorgeous, leisurely stroll between bakeries.
* *(Note: We are leaving lots of time for the movement, queuing at 5 different stops, and getting to know each other. This is a rough itinerary, so if things shift on the day, we just roll with it!)*
* **Dietary Requirements:** Please note that we’ll be visiting standard bakeries. While many will offer vegetarian and vegan options, if you have strict dietary requirements or severe allergies (like gluten, dairy, or nuts), please double-check with the staff at each location before purchasing!
* **The Finish Line:** After our fifth and final coffee/bakery stop, the movement part is *done*. We'll walk together to a nearby park, lay out the blankets, and feast on everything we’ve gathered!
### 🎟️ Tickets
* **Bakery Run & Picnic Ticket:** £6.00
**Lace up your favourite running or walking shoes, grab your pastry-carrying backpack, and come spend Sunday morning with the best girls in London! 🥐☕️👟✨**
