I take the bus to Crewe from Congleton, and would be agreeable to a Saturday afternoon lunch anywhere that's bus-station accessible (or train station - I can get off the bus there instead of going into Town Center).
My only caveat is that DH has a minor out-patient/same day procedure scheduled a few days before, so my attendance would be contingent on his situation. Would know in plenty of time to commit or bow out. In any case, would be only me coming.
