Hawksmoor recently emailed me to say that they were using the government "eat out to help out" scheme to offer August Monday-Wednesday diners the option of steak & chips for £10 per head, this being based on a 300g (10oz) 35 day dry aged rump.
And Hawksmoor continues to offer their Monday Night Wine Club £5 per bottle corkage rate — but are now fully booked throughout August
I'm bored with sitting at home all day every day and would very much like to meet up again for a properly socially distanced Port meal with my Port chums. Is anyone willing and able to join me for Port, Steak 'n' Chips at 18.00 on Wednesday 12th August? Given current rules, we'll be limited to 6 people:
AHB (new date confirmed)
NAC (new date confirmed)
MPM (new date confirmed)
CPR (new date confirmed)
IDJ (new date confirmed)
WS1 (new date confirmed)
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
Slight problem - all the Hawksmoors that are open in London are fully booked on Mondays in August. It seems lots of wine lovers had the same idea as me but were quicker off the mark.
I'm on the waiting list but may need to organise an alternative venue at short notice.

I would love to; I really would. However while I am very much missing meeting up and sharing port with friends, I am in a more cautious position, and so will have to remain envious also.

The B&F reopens on 5 August!
But not on Mondays or Tuesdays according to their website.

And the free seat created by Ian dropping out goes to Ian! I’m pleased and relieved the original five could make the new date and be joined by Wolfgang.

I suggest a theme of “Port you’d like to share with other Port lovers to celebrate the end of lockdown while remaining appropriately socially distanced”
Any alternative suggestions?
