The first post claims that NAC also has SW00.

… 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.

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!

Thanks Michael

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

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

Thanks

Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑22:36 Sun 19 Apr 2026 No starter

Main: 3 sausage and mash - but with skinny fries instead of mash. Side of roasted carrots.

No dessert.

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

Starter Smoked Salmon
Main Roast Rump of Lamb - Medium if asked
Dessert - Cheese

Thanks

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

May I have .....

• Soup of the day
• Burger + Cheese + Streaky Bacon, + skinny fries;
• Welsh rarebit.

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...

Done. Attention is needed to who is bringing which?
