ABOUT

Menus
https://www.wahaca.co.uk/mexican-menu/

Not so long ago, cheap tequila shots, mind-numbing spices and greasy tortilla chips were what sprang to mind when Britain went out for a ‘Mexican’. Wahaca shook things up and started doing things a little differently, to show people in the UK how vibrant and delicious Mexican food really was.

Mexican street food is totally ageless and classless. On top of that, the food has so much integrity in the flavours and the sourcing of the products. That’s what Wahaca constantly work to bring to life, continually looking to the markets of Mexico for inspiration and recreating their wonderful food over here.

They've worked hard to match the flavours of Mexico with ingredients that they can get hold of to create a constantly evolving, seasonal menu with ingredients sourced as locally as possible, or grown and transported with care for the environment. Wahaca's mantra is to create a sustainable restaurant business that is ageless and classless. Everyone should eat with their hands (or their forks if they really want to) – get stuck in and be social knowing the food they are eating isn't costing the earth in the process.

DETAILS

Please only RSVP if you're 100% sure of attending, as we can only accommodate 6 people... Don't forget to message me or change your RSVP to not attending, if you are not coming along, in order for those who can attend to be added to the list (I'll provide my phone number). Failure to do so could result in temporary removal from the group. Advance thanks for your understanding!

I don’t charge fees for attending our meet-ups. All I ask is that a one-off discretionary donation is made for your first time. This is to help cover the cost of running the group. Meetup groups are not free to run and cost £180 over the course of a year. I've put a link below (Paypal) where you give a one-off donation of £10 (or any amount) to help out. The group will always remain free so there is no obligation but it would be greatly appreciated. The link works on both desktops and smartphones.

Shy Bis & Gay Guys

Shyness and social anxiety can hold guys back from forming meaningful platonic and romantic relationships. It can be tough enough ‘coming out’, but being introverted can make it even more of a challenge and sometimes you need a gentle push.

So, whether you consider yourself to be ‘gay’, ‘bi’, ‘bi-curious’, ‘pansexual’ or any other label; whether you are ‘in the closet’, ‘out’ or in the process of ‘coming out’; whether you are vulnerable or feel at risk, this group brings us together. We embrace those who have experienced depression, anxiety, loneliness or isolation, especially if you may be considered on the spectrums of ADHD, Autism & Asperger’s, Bipolar, OCD and/or Schizophrenia.

You may be a highly sensitive person who experiences intense highs and lows to an extreme degree. You may be an artistic Creative with a vivid inner world hidden and locked away. You may feel easily overwhelmed by large groups of people, unsettled by the turbulence of the LGBT dating scene or sidelined/neglected in a whirlwind of rapidly spinning social circles. Anxiety may have even prevented you from moving forwards in friendships and relationships with other people because you are afraid of either hurting or getting hurt. This Meetup group is designed for you!

Have you ever taken years to build up the confidence to go to an event only to be disappointed? Want to attend an LGBT event but held back by your shyness? Simply come as you are. There is no need to pretend anymore. This is a get together for people who do not want to be on their own, to feel comfortable and foster a nice, friendly circle of people. And if you would like to come but do not feel like talking much, then that is cool, too! Take it at your own pace.
