Medieval English Theatre Meeting 19 March 2005

Friday Night Dinner 18 March


We are asked to pre-book the menu (see Menu below)

Location: I have booked a private suite (room, bar, and toilets) upstairs at Langley’s Bistro, Bedford Place. This will ensure that we get some peace and quiet on a Friday night after a long day’s travelling.

Time: We will gather from about 7, but are expected to eat at 7.30, as this will ensure that we get the attention of the staff before the surge of other diners.

Cost: The cost of the 2-course meal (main course and pudding) will be £15 per person + share of 10% service charge (on party over 10) + share of any drinks we buy communally.

Method of payment: I would suggest that I simply pay the restaurant on my credit card (I will have already paid the non-refundable deposit by this means), and you pay your share to me on the night. I accept cash and cheques, but not time-share options, or measures of oatmeal.

Menu: We are asked to pre-book because of the size of the party and the need to ensure that everyone gets what they would like. The food will then be ready for us individually when we come. I must ask you therefore to choose in advance one of the following main courses and one of the following puddings and let me know your preference. Please email me your preference jjm1@soton.ac.uk by Mon 7 March.

Just give me your name and choices as follows: McGavin C2.

Main courses

  • A       Poached chicken breast with a tarragon cream sauce
  • B       Salmon and Ratatouille Wellington with a spicey tomato and basil sauce
  • C       Honey roasted Belly of Pork with a wholegrain mustard sauce
  • D       Almond and Pistachio Nut Loaf with a beetroot emulsion
             (The above dishes all served with potatoes of the day, and platters of mixed vegetables for the tables)
  • E       Cherry Tomato, red onion, and capsicums pasta with a herb pesto (olive oil, not cream based)

Puddings

  • 1       Vanilla Crème Brulee
  • 2       Orange and Raisin Bread and Butter Pudding with Crème Anglaise
  • 3       Duo of Chocolate Mousse
  • 4       Boozy Fruit Cocktail with Citrus Mascarpone
