1970 Horizontal - Food pre-orders
Hello everyone
It's time for food orders please. Need to submit these on Thursday, so I will be unashamedly stalking people to notify me of their order!
If you are attending BOTH Thursday evening and Friday all day - you have three orders to submit (dinner, lunch, dinner).
If you are attending Friday only, you have two orders to submit (lunch, dinner).
I will send an email to everyone, as well as WhatsApp or SMS for those whose numbers I have. You can reply through any channel - but please reply ASAP!
A reminder, cost is £100 for each sitting, which covers food, corkage and tip. I expect the final costs will end up very slightly lower than this, so I may return ~£10 on the day.
Finally, anyone failing to respond before Thursday 5pm London time with an order, will get Salmon, Chicken Supreme and Cheese as a default. In my mind it would be tragic to eat that up to three times on the trot...please get your order in!

Fries and garlic roasted carrots
Cheese
Friday dinner:
No starter
Shared steak with fries (or a club sirloin in the bone if no-one wants to share)
Lemon tart with coconut ice-cream (ie. Not with clotted cream)

The use of spreadsheets for food orders is a thing of beauty.

Re: 1970 Horizontal - Food pre-orders
I love the spreadsheet food order. It makes it quick and simple to review.
I have spotted some corrections please:
Thursday lunch - please could I have my steak medium-rare
Friday lunch - no cheese required
