The Rose of Bengal - 10th September 2010
Restaurant: Rose Of Bengal
Address:2-3 Crowborough Hill, Crowborough, East Sussex TN6 1DG
Tel: 01892 662252
Date: 10.09.2010
Report by Justin - again!
The evening was a much anticipated event being at the outer limit of our range - almost constiuting an "Away" match. It is a restaurant with a good local reputation. Below is the interior:
The party of Mango Chutney Club "irregulars" arrived gathered around 7.30pm, starting with the traditional "we curry no favour" toast.
Popadoms arrived at around 8pm and whilst being loaded with onions, chutney and lime pickle and drinking Cobras orders were taken at 8.15. Hadow the Currymaster General, conducted the grand popadometer test with an excellent result.
At 8.40 Mark made a presentation to Hadow of an important piece of literature which included detailed anatomical studies of a species originating from the geographically specific area of Asia Minor.
Then Henry, praise to his name, developed a new game which was to guess something - and I was closest or furthest away which meant that I ended up writing this review - yet again!
At 8.50 Henry the Wonderous leader fined James Gibson for making 4 phone calls to a member in Denmark. Starters arrived at 8.52 and they went down very well - general consencus was excellent, although the scoring will tell!
At 9pm the Badge award ceremony commenced. Badges were awarded for participation in our storming success at the Uckfield float. James, Richard, Bob Henry, Alan and Dave (although James said Dave was rubbish).
At 9.30 main courses arrived, again all very good and all finished by 10.00 - a good sign. The general comments were excellent and the majority really enjoyed their meals - wait for the scores
At 10.25 a game of Spoof was initiated which culminated in the final between Justin and Dave ...and what a final it was! I won!
At 11.03 Christos (below) was celebrated as Man of the Month, having come "back from the brink" and we are all pleased to see him out of hospital, where the chances of getting a good curry are non existent!
Complimentary drinks and chocolates were generously provided without any prompt!
As always, judging was firm but fair. Notable scores were Atmosphere: 7.75 out of 10 and food quality a storming 18.5 out of 20! Overall score was an excellent 100.8.
Above is Hadow and numbers man Daryl checking on the fiscal prudency. The bill per person was a reasonable £33.00 per person
The presentation was made by the Grand Curry master General Hadow
Evening ended at 11.50pm. A great evening and a triumph for the Rose of Bengal.
WE CURRY NO FAVOUR!

Friday 9th July 2010 - Bonani Battle High Street
Friday night was here on with the MCC regalia a knock on the door and we were off heading for Kensington to get the MCC bus (kindly driven by Jeff)
A quick stop on the way at the Café Rasoi to refresh our dry throats after the long walk and on to the bus!
Stopping on the way at the Barley Mow to pick up two more Mcc members sitting out side with empty pint glasses. Next stop Battle.
Entering the curry house to join up with the other Mcc members already there and this months European guest Pete who was quickly made a member and squeezed into a XXL regalia And tying his tie to match the rest of his physic.
A quick round of DRAFT Cobra and on to the Mcc toast (We curry no favour).
The papadoms arrived which had a good result on the papadometer test.
More cobra and on to heads and tails which Dave P won in two rounds (quickest game ever).
Next (the reason I am writing this match report) guess the year that Henry’s relation won the men’s singles at Wimbledon.
Another cobra to drown my sorrows for winning and to be honest I can’t remember any more apart from Mr P reminding me about the fly that they took out of James’s wine with the ice tongs and gave back to him.
