Mike JW is unavailable so we have a spare seat, if anyone wants to bring a guest.

Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑17:32 Sun 10 Mar 2024 On the assumption that Ben can take the last seat at the table, this is what I am asking each attendee to bring:

NAC Croft

Croft found (eventually, after much searching), stood up, in a safe place, etc.

My sincere apologies, but I am now no longer going to be able to come to this tasting. I am deluged with work.

Current draft of the placemats added to the first post.

I have W94, albeit with no front label, and will bring.


For the food order, please select from the B&F dining menu.

George - sorry to lose you.
That leaves us with two spare seats is anyone would like to bring one or two guests.
Julian - I will keep the offer of the Warre in mind in case we need to swap wines or a guest needs to adopt.

Is that the new, Spring menu, they have been promising to send me?

Accidentally, Warre has already remained on the placemats, with a change in name of provider.

It was merely what a cursory inspection found on the B&F website.

Is anyone able to print the placemats? Since retiring, my printing is now limited to water-soluble inkjet printing on A4.

Oops. I’ve just realised this is your event that I’m helping with and not the event the B&F have been telling me will be when the new menu is in operation.

As you were everyone. Food orders to JDAW please.

No starter. Main of sirloin steak (m-r) with fries and green beans / shallots.

JDAW guest now likely: bagsying space, at least for the moment.

Christopher would like ham hock starter, then the same main as me.

Luke = LTP will be my guest, and is deemed to be bringing the Warre.

Food order looks good for me, thx Julian. Something a little strange with Charles' - seems to be getting skinny fries AND fat chips. And then Martin C wrote "chips" and is getting skinny fries.

Our guest would like:
“Potted Devon crab & Chicken breast

If we’re doing puddings am happy to share cheese if anyone would like or the brownie.
If no one is doing pudding then I’m happy without”

Feel free to add veg and / fries.

Alex/Julian - to confirm, Christopher is adopting the T94 from me.
What's the guidance/preference for decanting?
Unless there's an objection I'll decant the Cr & T the evening before, leave in the decanter for a couple of hours, and then put back in the bottle and Vac-u-Vin.

Food order

Can I have
Soup ofthe day
Steak pie, green beans and a side of chips

Thanks

Tony

Can’t help but being underwhelmed by the current crop of B&F starters and so:

Welsh Rarebit
Steak (M/R) and fries with peppercorn sauce and carrots
Dessert TBD on the night

Thanks

As mike has suggested I only need one portion of fries - but please sir don't forget my Welsh Rarebit which seems to be missing
