Easter Saturday all day Ploughmans at the Rappi Bier factory

Sounds like a splendid afternoon.

If it's raining, you can get bus 50, 52, 995 from Rapperswil station to Rapperswil, Zeughaus (every 15 minutes or so... and it's only a two minute journey).

Map with bus stops here. Plan your journey here.

Oi mate - it will not be raining - don't tempt that bleedin' fate!

(but just in case it does rain, thanks for the info)

But they will all be gone on Wednesday. Unless, of course, you can persuade me to hide some for you both? Come on ladies, you know it makes sense

amaraya · #9 29.03.2010, 23:27

my dear- let us go then!

my hubby would make the trip for beer. my son would make the trip if a football can be kicked around in the vicinity.

me, i would go to see you! (and the beer!)

the discussion with hubby will now begin!

Khaia · #10 30.03.2010, 11:58

Ohh I'm really looking forwards to this event, but still need to confirm with hubby who is away in business, so all depends on him not being totally knackered by the long trip back.

But like your hubby Amaraya, mine can get persuaded by the beer! And so can I! Plus all the yummy cheeses... and to meet some members of EF, well, that really makes it a must not miss!

Is it a kid friendly place / event? We'd love to come but we only just got here Friday and haven't got babysitting options. Understand if it isn't but just wanted to check :-)

If it's dry, there's a fairly big car park area in which children can play in relative safety (it's an industrial estate, so not much traffic at weekends). It's not exactly Wacky Warehouse, but we've all played in less exciting places in our time, no?

Or you could do what everybody's parents did in the seventies: Lock them in the car with the windows down, a bag of crisps and a bottle of Vimto.

Never did me any harm...

Sky · #14 30.03.2010, 21:04

circa 50... Grumpy do you have enough cheese ?

MusicChick · #15 30.03.2010, 21:05

We have been planning to go to Grumpy's for ever, hope it works out this time. Hmmmm....stinky cheese, fun people

You can take it from me that he does.

Where2 · #17 30.03.2010, 21:14

Prop the hubby in the corner, on a stool at the bar and we will keep him awake with beer. He will thank you for it the next day (who's driving BTW?)

Kids welcome in the bar and as DB say's, loads of space to run around outside

Mathunut & DB know that I do. More than enough!

Dogs welcome too. But I won't be bringing our 2 Rottis. They love cheese far too much.

Just to re-cap - we'll be serving from about 1 - 8 or 9 in the evening. It's not a "posh' place but the beer and conversation is excellent, and the cheese is pretty good too. If you've not been to Rapperswil there's plenty more going on in the town to make a day of it too.

If you are a "maybe" and know for certain yet if you are or are not coming, do please up-date me. I'd hate to run out of pickled onions. I'm really looking forward to this one

51 maybes! The power of Cheese, pickled onions and fresh beer. And nothing to do for days. A heady combination.
