Many thanks to Pete and Julia for getting hold of a copy of the menu for me.

Anyone who cannot make the Buck's Head on the 8th November let me know your preferences and I'll collect deposit on the night.

John,
Can you add Caroline to the fun for this one. Prawn cocktail, turkey and cheesecake, please. Just as well I paid up on Thursday, now only the other half to find...
Settle up at the Dolphin? If indeed we are doing a Dolphin on 27.11.12 - we seem to eclipse the AWC content during the winter months! Are we scheduled for BH before the 20th? If not I might be up for gatecrashing the SE on the 13.12.12 if they are not too far East.

How are we booking this?

Soup
Pork belly and cheesecake for me please*

*I hear the chef at the BH is Romanian? If so I may be cheeky and call and ask them to do some Cozonac, this is a sort of Romanian Panettone and a traditional Romanian christmas dessert

[MaddAussie]

Just spoken to the chef at the bucks head and he will do two types of cozonac one with chocolate and hazelnut and one with turkish delight ***does a happy dance***

Mark,
The late addition of a new attractive menu choice after most punters have already declared their selections, may not be best received by the organizer! This also has the extreme liklihood of pissing off the chef too if nobody changes their dessert!
And, as ever, it is all done with the best of intentions on all sides!
Caution friends; an amnesty well before the event may be needed!

[MaddAussie]

I am quite happy to fund an extra dessert for everyone or take the left overs home

[tanamana]

I will just eat it. I won't worry about the politics - as usual - If chef is willing, so am I . Life's too short.

Four courses?
Surely nobody could do them all justice? It's like Botham and the shredded wheat....

He's still alive, isn't he ?
It'll go down very well with the cheese board.

Pete, that was boxing day, early hours. We have friends staying for the next three days but maybe after that if the job still hasn't mobilised - I have a week of accrued leave to use up! and the Mulberry needs a run.....
