Hi, may I please have
Duck liver pâté
Pie of the day
Sticky toffee pudding
Thanks!

Food orders all updated - Ben, Ian & Neil - whats your food order or shall I put you down for a large plate of fresh air ??

On the assumption that there’s nothing in their range of seasonal specials to attract, I will order a starter of Welsh rarebit (if available) followed by a steak (medium – rare) and fries with creamed spinach. Dessert tbd on the night.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay here. Just larger bangers & mash for me please, no starter or dessert!

With significant regret I must withdraw from this.

Julian, I plan to bring something that is not port but I hope to be at least interesting if not very enjoyable for the group, but I'm unclear if it needs a circle or can just be enjoyed aside from the main event.

You are confusing me with the organiser. Ask him.

Hi Rich

The criteria is bring a bottle so that would fit but since it's blind then it's going to make an already hard task even harder but I'll leave that call to you. Either way it should be on Julian's placemats

Cheers

Martin
