Food order for me please:
Herby Butter Bean Bruschetta
Sirloin (rare)
Fries
Broccoli

And I’ll bring a G77.

Tesco has Grahams 2020 LBV at 12.50 down from 18, if you purchase with a clubcard

Yes please, from memory have N, Ck, Meao, T and one other.

I have a couple of people I can ask.

OK have confirmation of one additional attendee. Christian, initials CDH.

I'm going to meander into town now, and expect to get to the B&F for around 5-ish.
