Very sorry to hear that Phil. Haven't seen you in ages, seems like it'll be May until we get to drink Port together again.

No need for card.

Probably. But I will cope by asking Kasha to make sure there are at least 10 sirloin steaks kept back for us on the night.jdaw1 wrote:Are we too late and incompetent for food pre-ordering?

I'm sure we could get a food order together by Monday, even if not for everyone. It is kind of handy when the staff arrive with the food saying your name, which the emailed table of orders facilitates...
I'll start, and if enough respond then great. From the B&F ‘Dining Menu’:
Potted shrimps
Chargrilled sirloin steak 220g (Rare, no sauce)
Peas and beans with mint lemon and butter

Re: Mon 2nd March 2015 - Henry Shotton visits London
Perhaps we should all have the cold roast beef?
If my memory serves correctly the last time we visited on a Monday the steaks were a bit small and ropey, no doubt being the runts of the previous week's litter.
I might go off piste.

The current draft of the food order. When a few more people have decided please could somebody check for errors.

It’s some vegetarian pants that some people have decided to believe is anything other than tasteless vegetarian pants. It’s a secular religious joke, like the New-Zealand Jedi thing. Do you really need to know more?djewesbury wrote:Please sir, why is quinoa?
Truffle Mac & Cheese is presumably Mac and Cheese with added Truffle. Rather resembling what it says on the tin.djewesbury wrote:Please sir, what is Truffle Mac?
