The Mumsnet Xmas party will be in the evening (8pm I guess?) at Latin Square and Club Havana in Farringdon Road, Clerkenwell

VENUE

Details here of the venue. We have exclusive use of the restaurant for the whole night, we can use the cocktail bar too and get free entry to Club Havana all night. I have been and checked it out, my review is here

FOOD

Cost - £26 to include a tip
The food is the Xmas menu, we have chosen:

Starters

Smoked salmon and asparagus - smoked salmon wrapped asparagus spears served with cream cheese
Goat?s cheese salad - with rocket leaves, Goat?s cheese, tomato and olive oil vinaigrette
Selection of Cured Meats - A selection of cured Spanish meats with manchego cheese and melon
Vegetable skewers - Lime-flavoured char-grilled seasonal vegetables with fresh basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Spanish omelette - A traditional Spanish potato and onion omelette
Turkey Breast & cranberry sauce - Turkey breast wrapped with Serrano ham served with cranberry sauce

Mains

Mix Sea Food - Deep fried seafood mix served with lemon, sea salt and aioli

Spare ribs - pork spare ribs in a hickory bbq sauce
Stuffed Bell Peppers - stuffed with rice, tomato sauce and authentic herbs topped with buffalo mozzerella

Pudding choices (you must choose one)

  1. Organic mango and coconut cheesecake
  2. Lemon meringue pie with a scoop of strawberry ice-cream made with double cream
  3. A shot of Christmas Slammer made with our imported tequila to get you in a great party mood (as opposed to English tequila one presumes)

BOOZE

No booze is included. You have to order and pay for whatever you want on the night

All come on platters to share served at tables.

PAYMENT (for new people signing up and those who have not yet paid)

IF YOU HAVE PAYPAL

  • Pls send £27.08 (NOT US Dollars which is the default) to countessdrac at gmail dot com. This is £26 + 3.4% plus £0.20 GBP which is what I will be charged to use this.
  • Ensure you put your MN posting name in there somewhere so I know who it is from.
  • Pls post on here to say you have paid and post your choice of Pudding (choices at bottom of this post) at the same time.

IF YOU HAVE A BANK A/C FROM WHICH YOU CAN MAKE A DIRECT TRANSFER EG INTERNET OR TELEPHONE BANKING

  • Pls email me at countessdrac at gmail dot com, I will send you sort code and a/c no which is all you need to make a transfer.
  • Pls post on here to say you have paid when you make the transfer and post your choice of Pudding (choices at bottom of this post) at the same time.
  • Pls ensure you tell me the name of the bank a/c that you are transferring from so I can identify your payment. If you are transferring from Halifax pls tell me as I don't get ANY details of who the payment is from, so will need to look out for your payment.

I will post details of who is coming....

hunkermunker · 01/11/2007 13:29

NQC Can you pay me, please, and you can have my spot?

I might still be able to come, but it's looking really unlikely (double-booked with an un-get-out-of-able family thing that I really ought not miss).

I'll email you NQC.

oliveoil · 01/11/2007 13:30

(no, I said people on here were not 'allowed' to be rich, I did not include myself in that number, am comfortable, not loaded. And therefore not paying for yer booze...)

StarryStarryNight · 01/11/2007 13:31

Unless the small print says price per person per room (meaning, you pay for yourself and your imaginary partner, ie twice the price of a single room?)

nailpolish · 01/11/2007 13:33
