Wondered if anyone fancied Port and dinner on Monday night. At the B&F but actually pretty flexible, kick off around 6.30

Edits:

Location has become Hawksmoor Air Street.

Current draft of the placemats.

I might be able to. Leave it with me a few hours.

But perhaps Hawksmoor would be a good venue - £5 corkage on a Monday and they don't start getting twitchy to go home at 9pm...

I confirm I can be in London for dinner on Monday.

Hawksmoor Air Street it is

Would love to, but was there on Thursday & struggling to be in London on Monday.

Yes please.

Blind or sighted? Is there a theme?

I’m considering bringing a bottle of red wine rather than a bottle of Port, but haven’t completely decided yet…

May I join in please ?? I have a bottle of champagne that needs drinking !!!

Perfect would be great to have some champagne!

One SQVP, or two vintage? The VPs much more unusual, but likely quite junior.

Blind or sighted?

I like unusual. It’s Christopher’s event, but I vote for one VP (two if you really insist) and blind.

I’m almost certain that I’ll bring a red wine.

By WhatsApp Christopher has replied “Sighted”.

I believe this rejects the excellent SQVP, in favour of two (one wasn’t offered) VPs about which I am less optimistic. OK.

I will bring blind: Christopher might, and might not, command that they can be immediately unblinded.

Edit: circa 21:30, the two VPs opened: that’s what you’re getting. Will be decanted tomorrow morning.

Pictures of the placemats are in the first post.

Just asking the obvious - is anyone able to print the placemats?

This applied to B&F.

Is H.A.S. booked for the same time?

I’ll be in London - around St James / Mayfair - from about 14.30. I have a few errands to run but will probably end up working either in the Oxford & Cambridge or in 67 Pall Mall from about 16.00.

I’ll be happy to meet up early if anyone is free.
