I note from the default food order that some people have items that are no longer on the menu. I have therefore applied the following substitutions:
"Cornish crab salad with ciabatta toasts" >> "Spiced fish cake, Cornish crab mayonnaise, mustard"
"Oak smoked salmon with beetroot, orange and horseradish" >> "Chapel and Swan oak smoked salmon, horseradish crème fraîche, capers"
Please say if you want something different.
