Tue 5 May 2026 - GC/SW/QH triple vertical

[jdaw1]

Rather than get my case of SW00 out of bond to take a single bottle to this tasting, I've ordered a bottle from Davy's stocks - it's available in the shop but isn't on the wine list at the Boot & Flogger so it will be a special order.

The first post claims that NAC also has SW00.

SW availability:
… 2000 (AHB, NAC)

I received a note earlier this morning from the B&F which includes their "new menu launching on the 5th May". The menu is NOT available on the B&F's website at the time of writing, so I have added screenshots of the menu they sent to me below (which I appreciate is not ideal, but I think the resolution is acceptable).

From a quick review, it seems that the following are impacted:

MJRM, as no starter or main is available which matches your food order.

JDF, as no pudding is available which matches your food order.

This is also a handy opportunity to remind others who haven't got their order in to please do so, they are:

HTWH - hadge;
MSC - mcoulson;
MPM - flash_uk;
IDJ - idj123; and
NAC - nac.

I've made an executive decision. Rather than get my case of SW00 out of bond to take a single bottle to this tasting, I've ordered a bottle from Davy's stocks - it's available in the shop but isn't on the wine list at the Boot & Flogger so it will be a special order.

Monica should be able to confirm tomorrow if there are any issues, but since SW00 is available on the Davy's website she doesn't expect there to be a problem.

My QH00 has been removed from its resting place and is now standing upright and attentive...

Thank you, Alex. Sorry for the hassle here!

I’ll go for the red pepper bruschetta to start and the vegan burger for main.

[idj123]

Mains – bangers and mash avec carrots
Dessert-TBD on the day

I'd like to amend my food order slightly please. I'll replace the carrots for a side of chunky creamed sweetcorn!

Please may I add the new chunky creamed sweetcorn.

An early draft of the placemats has been added to the first post. Doubtless many changes to come.

Pls could there be a decision about whether we are having both the QH and the BBR 1977s.

If we want a 19th(!) bottle, I'll bring the QHBBR77 as I can't imagine opening it in more appropriate company anytime soon. In the absence of a positive reply, I will not bring it.

Of course we want it. Requires a re-think of the layout of the placemats, but of course we want it.

Excellent news. Sorry if it's a faff with the placemats...

Both QH and BBR 77s. Sorry if it's a faff with the placemats...

[jdaw1]

Both QH and BBR 77s. Sorry if it's a faff with the placemats...

Done. Attention is needed to who is bringing which?
