POST-PEPPERMILL SOCIAL EVENING

We have booked an apéro rather than booking a table for dinner, so people can pop in or stay longer as they feel like. The apéro will be hosted by Zürich Netball Club, and will include light bites and drinks.

Venue address: Little Italy Ristorante & Birreria, Militärstrasse 76, 8004 Zürich

Time: 6pm – 8.30pm (to coincide with 17.24 and 17.50 Bus 922 / S7 back to Zürich HB from Meilen, Hallenbad)

If you would like to join us for drinks and food, please put your name on this doodle by Monday 10th November (including any plus ones, etc)

Anyone who would like to book a table for a later dinner at Little Italy is welcome to do so on an individual basis – Kennedy’s Irish Pub and Loft 5  round the corner also offer food quite late on Saturdays but tend to get busy!
