George - sorry to lose you.
That leaves us with two spare seats is anyone would like to bring one or two guests.
Julian - I will keep the offer of the Warre in mind in case we need to swap wines or a guest needs to adopt.

Accidentally, Warre has already remained on the placemats, with a change in name of provider.

It was merely what a cursory inspection found on the B&F website.

Is anyone able to print the placemats? Since retiring, my printing is now limited to water-soluble inkjet printing on A4.

Oops. I’ve just realised this is your event that I’m helping with and not the event the B&F have been telling me will be when the new menu is in operation.

As you were everyone. Food orders to JDAW please.

Food order looks good for me, thx Julian. Something a little strange with Charles' - seems to be getting skinny fries AND fat chips. And then Martin C wrote "chips" and is getting skinny fries.

Our guest would like:
“Potted Devon crab & Chicken breast

If we’re doing puddings am happy to share cheese if anyone would like or the brownie.
If no one is doing pudding then I’m happy without”

Feel free to add veg and / fries.

Alex/Julian - to confirm, Christopher is adopting the T94 from me.
What's the guidance/preference for decanting?
Unless there's an objection I'll decant the Cr & T the evening before, leave in the decanter for a couple of hours, and then put back in the bottle and Vac-u-Vin.

Can’t help but being underwhelmed by the current crop of B&F starters and so:

Welsh Rarebit
Steak (M/R) and fries with peppercorn sauce and carrots
Dessert TBD on the night

Thanks
