OK, I'm going to leave the food thing hanging for the time being, we're too far away to be making proper decisions yet. I'll revisit it 3 weeks before the event and see if anyone want to eat anywhere which we have to book.
My current thought is that maybe we will have to split into two groups, as the saying goes you can't please all of the people all of the time. However this won't preclude us from getting back together later in the evening. We have a few votes for Hon's Palace at the mo and at least a couple of people who don't like Chinese including SCM who is a local so maybe happy to lead a second party to Old Orleans or Nandos.
We'll see nearer the time anyway
