Hello

A few people have asked if there would be another night out at the Open House.

I have just contacted the Open House and they have a cancellation for Thursday 10th September 09.

I don't have the menu yet, but as soon as I get it I will post it.

If people are interested I will need the full payment. It should be £28 or £29 per person.

For those who have not been. The Open House is a restaurant in Chris and Phil's home, where they host dinner parties for groups of people. There are normally five courses, food is really good.

I need 8 people to confirm booking and the maximum to sit for the meal is 12.

Let me know if interested.
