Cellar records suggest it was acquired in April 2021 so, perhaps, 2020?

£60    Club Sirloin on the bone 600g
£46    Filler Steak £240g
£86    Chateaubriand 500g
£78    Cote du Boeuf on the bone 680g (Prime ribeye)
£82    Tomahawk (Prime ribeye) on the bone 900g-1Kg

Peppercorn, garlic butter or chimichurri sauces £3 each on top.

As I said, a pre order for these is needed.

Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑20:25 Tue 08 Apr 2025 Oh very well. I've been bottle-shamed and will join the herd.

How would people feel about me rolling the dice and bringing a Dow 1977 that we can pop, pour and consume before the terrible TCA swamps the wine?

nac wrote: ↑18:32 Fri 11 Apr 2025Looking at the list of 77s for Monday and note that we don't have Graham.

Any thoughts on me bringing it instead of Sandeman?

Since it has become a ’77 evening, why don’t I adopt the Graham, and ideally another 1977 (anybody?), and save the F85+F85+crusted for another time. So pls may I adopt the Graham?

nac wrote: ↑18:49 Fri 11 Apr 2025Could also offer J&B77.
