Right... let's try and get it sorted out today
so we don't have it hanging over us. Okay?
Good idea. I'll take notes.
First thing... numbers...
have we got anything definite?
Well... I've been working it out and I think 40 to 43.
Shall we put 45 to be on the safe side?
Yep, fine.
Dates... well, that's straightforward.
The last working day before Christmas... which is...
which is December the 21st.
which is going to be pretty difficult to book at Christmas
so we'd better think of two or three places just to be on the safe side.
Well, last year's was hopeless.
The Red Lion, wasn't it?
Yep.
We ought to go for something more expensive, cos you...
...you gets what you pay for.
That new Indian restaurant in Wetherfield is supposed to be excellent...
the Rajdoot.
How do you spell that?
RAJDOOT.
But it's bound to be packed.
Well, let's put that down as the first choice and have some back-ups.
What about the Park View Hotel as a second choice?
Yes, that's always reliable.
Park View Hotel...
And the London Arms in case.
London Arms...
I'll call them now if you want.
No. I'll do it, Joan.
You're really busy.
Oh, have you got the numbers?
Not for the Rajdoot, but...
right... Park View Hotel:
777192.
And London Arms: 208657.
Great.
Before I ring, we'd better just make sure they're within the price range.
Up to £15 a head?
I think you'll find some people won't be able to go that high.
Well, you can't get anything decent under £10.
Okay.
We'll say £12?
Okay.
And we'd better make sure there's good vegetarian food.
And a non-smoking section!
You know what the boss is like.
Don't remind me.
I'll let you know as soon as I get anything.
Good news. I found Rajdoot's number straight away
and they can fit us in.
Their Christmas menu sounds great.
What is it?
French onion soup or fruit juice.
Roast dinner or lentil curry...
sounds ordinary but my friend said it was really tasty.
Umm... lentil curry... that's unusual.
And then for dessert, there's traditional plum pudding
or apple pie, plus coffee.
That sounds really good for £12.
Did you book it?
Well, I said I'd check with the staff first.
But they did say they'd hold the booking until next Wednesday anyway.
Oh, and if we go ahead, they'd like a £50 deposit.
50 is normal... that's fine.
And they want a letter.
Right... to confirm.
They say with such large numbers we have to choose the menu in advance.
That won't be a problem.
I'll put up a notice with details of the restaurant and the menu.
When did you say they wanted confirmation by?
It was... let's see...
the 4th of November.
Where do you think I should put up the notice?
Where everyone's guaranteed to see it.
On the café noticeboard I should think.
Hardly anyone looks at that.
Well, the Newsletter is probably your best bet.
Good idea.
I'll go and do that now.
