Thanks Paul. You had to go and organise it on a night when I have a *different* Leytonstone pub meeting to go to.
You couldn't have organised it in the Walnut Tree instead?
Blame me for choosing the Hitchcock. I'm sure Paul would've suggested the Walnut Tree. I prefer the hitch and it's got nothing to do with the fact that all my son's mates hang out at the Walnut - honest!
well the Hitchcock is the nearest pub to me so my house *may* be the nearest. What a coincidence!
I have been told that the Hitchcock has had really good chef's in the past but I don't know how good the food is now.
As it is also a hotel I hope it should be quite good.
It has had both good and bad - at one stage it had an in-house chinese restaurant and at another, a chef/landlord who used to get so paralytic that he fell down the cellar stairs, broke a few bones and as a result pretty much killed off dining there for a few months. It's now owned and run by South Africans, so I expect there'll be a braai or somesuch weirdness.
