    There's about twenty people who have voted so far; on past showings, that probably means about six people showing up

    S&S could possibly have the upstairs booked that night.

    And with Belgo there is that old chestnut of the 30 turning into 6 and therefore becoming very expensive for the 6 that turn out paying for the 24 that didn't.

    As for the Harp, it has good beer m but is always packed to the rafters. However there is a room upstairs, Mr Fitz, do you perchance have some sway with the managment of said establishment whereby we could reserve an area sans costs?

      Deposit £10 each, 2 fixed menus £25 and £30 - the £30 looks better (more variety in the dishes you can choose from) and a "free" beer/glass of wine. Though they are saying that if we book and people don't show they'll want the full price of the meal.

      Screw that for a game of soldiers. Belgo it isn't.

        Looking at the menus, it doesn't really cater for diabetic, non-alcoholic, non-asparagus loving veggies. So I agree with your statement.
        If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

          If you have to pay anyway why take a deposit of only £10?

            What if the food was tulip! Would they still expect paying!

            Ship & Shovel and Maccy D's it is then!

              S&S is still a risk if the upstairs gets booked.
