There will be nibbles and things first, and then the food will be served in batches depending on when people arrive.

Basically, they offer large, tasty savoury (and sweet) Dutch-style "pancakes" with a wide range of fillings. They're cooked to order so basically you can pick anything off their menu.

It's anticipated the cost will be about 10 pounds a head plus whatever drinks end up costing - a couple of sponsors will be pitching in to cover the difference on the cost of the food.

The booking is for 30-50 people, but it would be good to get an idea of numbers as quickly as possible so that I can give them a more definitive idea. If we can get together a full 50 people, we can have a private floor to ourselves - if not, we'll have to share the area but we'll at least have a private section.

I am guessing the event will probably run until 9-ish there (depending on how many turn up and when) and then after that those who want to can decamp to somewhere like Covent Garden or further towards Holborn, both of which have a bunch of pubs and are only 5-10 minutes walk away...

Please post below if you can definitely come (and numbers if you're bringing anyone else!)
This looks very worthwhile, and I would have liked to have come along, but I've been away and I missed this post. Any last minute travel arrangements by UK public transport always cost an absolute fortune! I was in Geneva and the French Alps last week and it couldn't be more different - went to CERN (where the web was 'invented' by Tim Berners-Lee) to see the Large Hadron Collider. Stunning.

Have a good meeting.
