Prices are inclusive of VAT. Service is discretionary, but a recommended 12.5% will be added to your bill
But seriously I now have to ask you all to make a choice from the above menu. Once you have made your choice can you please PM it to MOTHEROFPEARL. Because I am also up to my eyes with the postcards for Forumfest she has kindly volunteered to coordinate the menu choices.. You will need to PM her before Fri 11th July (next Fri). Also we have arranged that there will be 5 tables of 10 each and each table will be responsible for their own bill. Please remember that from the start the menu is £25 per head plus 12 and 1/2 % service charge. We have agreed with Jeremy that people will go up to the bar and order their own drinks seperately to try and keep things as uncomplicated as possible. Nearer the time we will post exact details of directions etc..
On a very serious note I have given over my credit card details for all the people listed on the Supperclub section as definitely coming..if any of you don't show then I will be charged £10 per head!!!! I know this will not be an issue but I had to mention it!!!
Girls it is going to be FABULOUS!!!!!!!
P.S. I am also going to post this on the supperclub section
