I booked a standard double at about £150 Mon, anywhere else within walking distance was dearer....

Looking forward to meet you Dalip. Will be checking out your BLNR then, as I am thinking of getting one too

[BH13GMT]

provisional movements will be driving up with Gabriel in the morning, arriving approx midday. Bag drop off at the Tower then lose the car either at the tower or the carpark nearby which is a 5 min walk. I think some sort of lunch will need sorting in St Katherine's vicinity before we hit the Dickens. I am more than happy to meet up prior for lunch , feel free to PM me a mobile number If I dont have it already so we can touch base etc. Otherwise we will be in the dickens by around 1pm!!!!

[steveclocks]

Eurostar and the Tower booked. As always...I'll arrive on friday.

Oy-oy lightweight don't leave me sitting in The Dickens like a lemon trynna hold seats on me lonesome while you're hoofing down brekkie over the quay somewhere eh?!?

Get on over to the pub I'm sure they do breakfasts'n sarnies'n stuff as well as the inevitable pizzas later.....




Edit:
Yeppers, just checked, they do a brunch in the pub that'll fit the bill if you fancy it mate.... ??

The Mala has an online booking facility and they only had 6.30 or 8pm tables available so 'just in case' I've booked a table for 8 diners at 8pm.

Obviously I can change that though so a show of hands for prefernce and numbers would be great please chaps, thanks.

[steveclocks]

The Mala for me too please, it's marvelous there! So agree with Gabriel

The Slug's online booking system is a 'Thanks, we'll be in touch' type rather than an instant confirmation so I've also made a provisional/to be confirmed booking there as well.

Once preferred venue and numbers are known I'll confirm with the restaurant of choice.

[BH13GMT]

Gents

happy to go anywhere, Mala is tried and tested and prob more upmarket, Slug is more pub grub, but I havent tried the one in question.

Not helping here am I

Blimey Geert that was quick mate!!

I know Dalip's partial to anything "hot'n spicy" so I'm guessing The Mala it'll be!

Numbers'd be great though so to start......

Spuds
Paul
Gabriel
Geert
Dalip

I'm guessing Chris too and I recollect Wes saying he might be allowed out after 7pm so chaps please confirm.

......anyone else definitely on for dinner??

You're bang on as usual mate, The Slug's just slightly above average pub grub.

Having said that I was in there recently and so drunk that we were 'candle dancing' (after attempted hand stands outside The Dickens!, WTF?!? ) so it might be best avoided after all!!

[steveclocks]

Wes can't answer he's joking around AGAIN
