I’m at home with covid. Was meant to be in Portugal — extremely irritated.
The NHS instructs that my “last day of self-isolation is 2 October 2021”. If there are any immuno-vulnerable people attending this tasting, such that the 2nd–6th would be too tight for their needs, then I will withdraw. If not, and assuming my sense of smell and taste continue to hold up, and that my exhaustion fades, then I will gladly take this much-needed medicine.

Yes, my understanding. Also it seems the understanding of the NHS. But the immuno-vulnerable might desirous of a higher level of paranoia. Hence my offer.

Wish you speedy recovery! Given that I am 3x vaccinated I am happy to sit right next to you!
Hope to cu on the 6th

food order for me: duck liver pate followed by Burton steak, green beans and chips. Would like to share some cheese if welsh rabbit is not an option. May I kindly ask to make a plea to Gary the manager again please to amend the menu including some standard popular dishes!

Food for me please:
- No starter.
- Steak medium rare, chips, green beans; plus a Bearnaise sauce if possible please.
Tom-supplied steaks would be excellent, otherwise happy with menu Sirloin.

This is an International Catastrophe. Call the Foreign Secretary! Call the Home Secretary! Hell, it might be that saving the nation requires the assistance of The Private Secretary to The Queen — call them all!
Meanwhile, Soup (which I’m told will be roast pepper and tomato); steak (blue) + skinny fries; Welsh Rarebit (I don’t care — ask anyway).
Really underwhelmed by the choice of starters and so will bypass to:
Steak (medium rare) and fries with the green beans
Chocolate Brownie
Like JDAW hoping that they will relent on the Rarebit
Soup
Steak (12 oz UT fillet preferred, 8 oz sirloin acceptable) medium with chips and green salad
Cheese (but preferably jdaw1-esque WR if that is an option).
@WS1 - did I see you cycling through Bloomsbury this afternoon?

my steak medium rare please and if there are no 12 oz Burton steaks the menu ones have to do.

I'm Coeliac, they ask we flag this up so mine can be as gluten free as possible (they try not to cross contaminate when cooking, and leave such as croutons off)
Chapel and Swan oak smoked salmon, horseradish crème fraîche, capers
Steak (medium rare), Burton would of course be best, but otherwise sirloin from menu, with fries and green beans please.

Also wishing you a speedy recovery. I think you are in dire need of medicine, I hope you can come.
Have had further contact with B&F.
They're working with supply chain re additional steak choices & will update soon.
More importantly though they've agreed to do Welsh rarebit.

I spoke to Gary earlier - he seemed a bit frustrated with Davy's internal supply situation, and said that if he didn't get a clear answer by Friday he'd let us bring our own steaks.

Regretfully, I am going to have to withdraw from the Warre tasting [head in hands] due to a work conflict which has arisen and which I cannot avoid. Extremely frustrating. Please open my spot up in case someone else can have the opportunity; assuming at this late stage this is unlikely, I will of course cover costs. I've also sent you (Neil) a PM. Argh.
