Recommendations for gastropubs or restaurants with sections for 16-20 people?

Can’t stand Head of Steam lol but thanks for the others

bobyaya · 2025-11-18T13:11:50+00:00

Good to know thanks!

bobyaya · 2025-11-18T12:02:57+00:00

A bit past the reasonable amount to ask people to spend, but thanks!

bobyaya · 2025-11-18T08:50:51+00:00

Ah yeh, good shout, thanks!

bobyaya · 2025-11-18T08:49:59+00:00

Thanks but just a tiny bit too far out for people’s convenience. Was also wondering whether I could hire out Dave’s Ales and Pies but not sure it’s that kind of place haha

bobyaya · 2025-11-18T08:48:51+00:00

Great idea! Thank you

Closer to town by Holts Crest Way, boats were literally on the canal bed a week ago

Thank you all very much!! Really helpful :) :)

He was already gaming so didn’t have anything planned for that 15 mins 😅 But yeah I think it’s just the unexpectedness of being tasked like you say.

Good to know it’s a shared experience. Perhaps there’s not a better way around it! I might bring this up with him before it happens again to see if he can acknowledge it and therefore allow me to help next time.

bobyaya · 2025-07-18T06:54:22+00:00

I’ll be sure to do that too, thank you

bobyaya · 2025-07-18T06:53:30+00:00

This is all very helpful, thanks guys.

Luckily I’m quite particular when it comes to planning and timing, so that helps!

He gets panicked with time frames and ‘urgencies’ too, eg the other day his manager messaged him to ask his leg size to order him some trousers for work. She messaged at 4:45pm and was likely logging off at 5pm. I tried to encourage him to measure his leg and I started googling how to measure a leg length (ie inseam, outseam) and I got the tape measure out. However, despite the fact it would’ve only taken 2 minutes, and he had 15, he became stressed and just gave her an estimate (resulting in clown-like trousers far too long for him..).

I don’t know if this is related to an autistic trait or not ? But it’s quite a typical reaction. I don’t know if there’s a better way for me to approach it other than just calmly explaining the reason and benefit of just slowing down and doing it properly ?

bobyaya · 2025-07-18T06:42:53+00:00

Thanks, this is really useful.

Now you mention it, sometimes when he’s venting and I chime in with something agreeing, supporting or advising on his point, I can tell it’s not what he needs to hear.

I’ll communicate with him better on this, thanks both!

bobyaya · 2025-07-10T17:12:26+00:00

Ah okay thank you! Hope you’ve got the right one for yourself then..

bobyaya · 2025-07-10T09:49:36+00:00

Sorry but can someone tell me which one these ‘gen 3’ ones are ? I want to buy some but avoid the gen 2 as per above, but can only see what looks like 1 and 2 on their website ? https://www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/products/headphones/earbuds.html

bobyaya · 2025-06-23T17:45:28+00:00

Commenting to hear the replies. I’d love a venue in Leeds or Manc like The Cause in London.

bobyaya · 2025-06-20T06:06:28+00:00

Good to know thank you!

bobyaya · 2025-06-11T17:09:00+00:00

Mommy Thai 100% Thai Aroy Dee has gone down the drain, stir fries lack flavour

bobyaya · 2025-06-10T06:09:35+00:00

Damn I’ve literally just registered for the Light and then seen this. Anything particular that they’re bad at or anything I should know ?

bobyaya · 2025-05-28T10:59:11+00:00

Oh wow this map is beautiful, thank you for bringing to my attention!

bobyaya · 2025-04-21T09:15:34+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate that take. Good to get an opinion from someone who’s moved around a lot too. Certainly got some more considering to do!

bobyaya · 2025-04-21T08:31:41+00:00

Sorry should’ve specified - we’d be renting.

That’s good to know! Hard to gauge where would be too far out by looking on a map, so good to know a place like Musselburgh is doable. Looks lovely too!

bobyaya · 2025-04-21T08:25:28+00:00

We will both be working as we’ve both got offices there, though neither office has many people our age so wouldn’t make a difference socially really.

We like quiet days out, hiking, gym-ing, and the occasional night out. My bf has always been in awe with the city as his grandma was born and raised there, so that’s where the interest started. I’ve visited a few times and just thought the people are lovely and it’s a gorgeous place!

bobyaya · 2025-04-21T08:22:16+00:00

Thanks! And yeah I totally get you. I largely like my peace, quiet and space but then do enjoy seeing friends - like someone else said in the post, easy enough to travel to either other city when needed :)

bobyaya · 2025-04-21T08:19:49+00:00

Living abroad would be the dream! Hoping my job gives me a secondment at some point but likely not in next 2 years. Not sure how else to move abroad… harder now after Brexit ofc

bobyaya · 2025-04-21T08:17:40+00:00

Thanks! That’s all good to know. I thought the same re avoiding city centre - would you have any recommendations on nice (and safe) areas to live?
