Meal

[Sailfree]

I have seen no comments on the meal.

My crew thought it good value and considering the Kir Royale and wine that was included with 5 courses, my crew commented on how good the steak was.

Its never going to be perfect for everyone but to get a place that can cater for up to 80 etc etc.

What think you?

Sorry - I was too knackered to appreciate it fully - steak was superb - exactly how I like it ... but was on the water rather than wine .... I did get chastised by little bro though - I know he enjoyed it - even thought about moving to france.... but probably not Cherbourg!

i thought it was excellent, and the location really is ideal for what we need. My only preference would be a lower price, with less wine included, so the heavier consumers (me being one) pay more as the evening goes on.

Thats ok Nick - you were most welcome to my quota! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I'd had enough whilst entertaining your crew in the afternoon whilst you were watching the rugby ...

The food was very good in my opinion. Steak melted in the mouth.

I cant imagine any other restaraunt accepting such a flexible booking from such a big group.

Yes, lovely stake. The only thing missing IMO was a few chips.
Sorry for the lack of refinement, but I knows what I likes!

um .. yes! all that grub got in the way of the chatting ...

far from denbigh's diatribe abt it being expensive (and now that recollection of what was served is returning) it was fine and, as you say, the location is perfect

We may have to try to arrange a special plate of chips to be delivered with great fuss and fanfare to your table next year then!!

[/ QUOTE ]wow... diatribe... that's rather coming it! I simply pointed out that it was pretty expensive for a meal out here and at that point, there was no menu identified, also that diners would have to pay for any absent guests.

Since then, as I understand it, all (who have posted) agree it was a great meal, an abundance of wine and that in the event, the question of cover for absent guests was not required. That's great.

I will still stand by my guns on the price, however. By local standards, that is well up in the Michelin prices.

If all are happy, that is all that really matters. But don't, please, twist my words - otherwise I might come to the conclusion that offering a minority opinion on this board is an invitation to rudeness? Perhaps you meant it jokingly, in which case... ok.
