No response from Ralph so I'm opening up his space. This is potentially for a guest - awaiting confirmation.

It's Mayor Sworder & Co. Ltd, of London EC4 - not Major

Indeed, The Book’s mentions of Mayor Sworder are in Df77 and W77, so I had no evidence of them at all as a bottler.
Please, evidential photos. Label, capsule, cork: usual business.

Just confirming final details of who is supplying what. Hope to have this sorted today.
Any volunteers for 1966 & 1975? I can supply both if necessary, but would prefer not to.
Also, does anyone have the 1950? This is the only obvious vintage we're currently missing.
We also have confirmed guests - Anthony & William Symington - who are bringing the 77 in Tappit Hen.

Hi,
am now confused, can you please confirm I am part of the tasting? You last post and lack of any e-mail and message suggest otherwise.

Right, bottles and associated suppliers now all known - top post has been updated accordingly.
I'll produce a statement of account and let everyone know what they owe or might receive. Per head cost is approximately £200.
Now onto food...
Will check with B&F re menu and post what's available.

B&F have supplied their current menu:
Gary (the Manager) is trying to source alternative steaks - he'll try and let me know tomorrow.
As the menu has changed I'm ignoring any previous saved orders.
Please let me know ASAP what you want - starter / main + any sides / dessert.
I'd like to get the order in by the end of this week.
