You're right about pre-booking, but then that seems to be the case for a lot of pub places lately (The Washford told my friend recently that the table for ten we were trying to book "wouldn't be fair on the staff..." err, ok, we'll take that business elsewhere then...). Worth a shot though!
Been The Harvester recently with the in-laws, as far as i know we had no problem pre booking a table for 12 of us, so should be okay i would have thought.
Right-o, unless there are any objections we'll go for The Harvester. Next step is to talk dates and numbers.
If weekends are preferable (that might suit some of our younger members, I'm sure Luke in particular would like to attend) then we're looking at either a Friday or a Saturday evening I think?
I'll knock up a multi-choice poll with Friday/Saturday dates for the next few weeks, so you can register which days you can make.
End of the month is probably better for most of us who get paid at the end of the month
My preference is any date on or after the 30th as that's when a few of us get paid so October time.
I third the end of the month also.
Looks like Saturday 1st October is the front runner, and a likely provisional date for this soirée.
i can't make the 1st, going to Butlins to play with bob the builder !! A Saturday is good though, just tell the Mrs i'm taking her out for a meal, she would be well chuffed !!
May be bringing the Girlfriend and little'un along to this, so anyone adverse to getting broody looking at 6 month old smiling babies beware!
