here is the website

oh fuckity fuck

here is the review

OP posts:
FlameBatfink · 21/08/2007 17:35

Why are we listing place names... is it where we are coming from for car share etc?

BecauseImWorthIt · 21/08/2007 17:40

Is Cod really coming?! She's down at number 14 ...

CountessDracula · 21/08/2007 17:41

SO THE UPDATE IS

I have spoken to the Venue today and asked a number of questions, the upshot of which is:

  1. They will be issuing the xmas party menu on Thursday, it will be £24.50 per head and will comprise platters of 6 tapas choices (ie we choose 6 between all of us, they divvy it up into platters and each table gets one) for starters, then platters of main courses again to share, things like steak, chicken etc on platters, we can choose 5 and there will be veggie options.

Alternatively we can have a buffet of the same food (not table service) for £2000 for 100 people.

  1. They need a £200 deposit which I am happy to pay myself and recoup when the cash comes in.

  2. If we have between 90 and 130 people we can have the restaurant exclusively from 8pm all night to ourselves. If we dip below 90 they may put other tables in the restaurant too.

4.The adjancent cocktail bar and the club downstairs will also be open to the public. He said that there will be other parties (smaller) in the cocktail bar so we will not be on our own in the club (which is what we wanted I believe)

  1. I will collect all the money via paypal as much as possible and others can send me cheques. I will then pay for the FOOD ONLY upfront. There will be no table service of drinks, you will have to go to the bar if you want wine for dinner. All wines avail from the bar. This means there will be NO faffing around at the end of the evening over money.

  2. A week before the party we MUST confirm numbers. I'm afraid anyone who drops out after this time WILL LOSE THEIR MONEY as I will still have to pay. Obv if you can fill your place with someone else then that will be fine. If anyone else suddenly decides they want to come in the last week I'm sure that would be fine but I would have to check.

Oh Minty, are you coming to theChristmas bash?

CD, I think everything looks fab. Well done!!

Come on people, sign up and recruit allof your MN buddies. In fact,recruit buddies whare not yet on MN. We can get them hooked.

And,Marsy,oh the cheek. I started a threadeven put your name in the title, but it was silent as could be. So I gave up on the night out and suggested to CD that her review was more than enough to proceed to book it if that was okay with everyone else.
And now you want to know when we're going...not to mention you are only interested in going with CD...hmpf!! I'm going to tell EVERYONE about your ASDA lemon drizzle.

Beetroot · 21/08/2007 20:41
