Do we need to give a food order in advance, or is that only needed for a larger group?

I remember there being only one type of chips. You get what you’re given, and then say “thank you Miss”.

Missing Ian.

Others at www.jdawiseman.com/2015/20150209_ThePortForum_food.pdf. When Ian has posted an inspection will be requested. But premature inspection might be helpful.

When you send the food order would you remind them that we will need around 80 white wine glasses please.

Ian added to food order. As I’ve never had the potted shrimps, and they are heavily praised, I’m changing my starter to that.

Awaiting Rupert, who has also been emailed.

We’re still coming to the Boot & Flogger on Monday 9th February, in the Green Room — yes please. Most people have sent me their food orders, and what I have is at
      www.jdawiseman.com/2015/20150209_ThePortForum_food.pdf

If Rupert contacts me I’ll add his request, which might or might not happen before you download the page.

Also, please could we have about 80 white-wine glasses.

Thank you.
