Tue 12 June - anyone available?
I could be in London overnight on Tuesday 12th June. If I was, would anyone be interested in sharing a bottle of port?

Unfortunately I can't make that date.
Re: Tue 12 June - anyone available?
That would work perfectly

I am flexible B&F, Bar Douro or somewhere else?

Re: Tue 12 June - anyone available?
Since it appears to be just the two of us, let’s go for Bar Douro. I’m travelling down from Liverpool by train that afternoon - would you be OK with a 7pm start just to give me a bit of extra time?

Seeking permission.
Placemats?

Re: Tue 12 June - anyone available?
Now you'll be three. I don't think you need placemats. Have fun!

Re: Tue 12 June - anyone available?
If you are able to, could you call Bar Douro and ask if we can increase the booking from 3 to 4 people please? I won’t get the chance to call them much before I arrive.

Re: Tue 12 June - anyone available?
Bear in mind we won’t have space at Bar Douro for tasting mats. Best we’ll be able to use is stickies — but we may not even be able to get 4 glasses each and we’ll have to negotiate corkage on the night!
