Couldn't we just sort that on the day? Seems a bit OTT to have a full seating plan in place in advance...

Parking on single yellow lines and normal meter spaces is free after 6:30pm Mon-Sat and free all day Sunday! During the day Mon-Sat parking on a meter is about £3 per hour. Just don't park in Resident Permit Holders bays.

[MEGA]

I'm kinda gutted as I don't like mushrooms and wanted beef. Can I be awkward and go off menu or is it set in stone? I can go lamb if needed but not sure about Naomi who is likely to be just as fussy..

Or can I request a mushroom free Wellington lmao.
