Any one tried Oscard's? The one at the corner of Heng Shan and Fu Xing? Once one of my friends asked the manager if they serve F & C (not on the menu) and he said Yes. We didn't order that day since we'd just had some snacks.

Ok peeps - This is going to sound ridiculous but shucks, I'd realised (in bed last night) that I don't have the number for Beaver Eagle. Any kind souls out there who might be able to help? Or is it perfectly acceptable to walk-in and ask for a table?

You won't be needing to reserve a table at the Beaver - it tends to not get that busy until late - you should be ok at tea time. Have a good night!

Update released!!

So, there's currently 6 of us (bella + bf, jeff, oiboy, richvemon, and me of cos).

Thanks for the number and address oiboy Very Happy I will give them a call later (as you'd advised) when they open for biz. 4pm is kinda strange but for a pub nah...

Good question bella - how do we recognise each other? Lets bring a big card and write Fish Fanatics - place it in the centre of the table and grin grimace smile snort whatever LOL!!

No need to book. There is only one table. Otherwise you can sit at the bar and eat. Just turn-up.

Trust me ... The Beaver is great, but it is not high-class dining! You will certainly all recognize each other ... the place is pretty small.

Enjoy!

I agree no need too book a table. ust the fish. They are known to run out of stuff quickly and sometimes keep only limited stock on hand. (personal experience). Maybe they can give us a discount lol. This is China after all and we are ordering pretty much the sme thing. X 6 I think).

Jasmyn there might be a bunch more foreigners, as the weekly expat meeting planned at same time is kind of lacking its usual leader...

And if you mind frenchies, is a swedish guy ok ? Wink

Wow, sounds like it will be quite a party!! Just want to check the address, Jasmyn you sure it's Fenyang lu not Yueyang Lu?

Me and my boyfriend are pretty easy to spot if anyone's is looking for the meeting - he is bald and i have long curly brown hair.

See you all there! Looking forward to my friday fish and chips mmmm..!!!
