Thanks to everyone who came out to play last night! I think we all enjoyed ourselves. For the interested who didn't make it, the menu choices were: Starters: * Fennel soup - really very nice. It had mushrooms in too. I find myself wanting to eat this again. * Italian tasting platter * Lobster cocktail - basically prawn cocktail with lobster instead. I thought this looked rather overpriced (13 quid!) Mains: * Rump steak with roquefort and red onion marmalade - I had this, took the roquefort off though since it didn't need it and I was planning on finishing the meal with cheese. The frites it came with were fantastic, lovely and crunchy. As were the green beans, actually. * Springbok sosatie with fresh mango and pawpaw - this was a sort of kebab. * Sea bass with pureed Jerusalem artichokes, wilted spinach, and tapenade. Desserts: * Charlotte au chocolat * Rhubarb pie with vanilla bean ice cream * Cheeseboard Disappointingly, they didn't let us go into the cheese cupboard to choose our own cheese, but I suspect that might have got a bit chaotic. They did have us send a posse into the wine room at the start of the meal, to choose wine for the party. Anyone who wishes to opine on either the restaurant or the pub we met in beforehand may do so here: http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Bleeding_Heart_Tavern%2C_EC1N_8SJ http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Vivat_Bacchus,_EC4A_4LL Kake
