Hi John,
Can you post a menu for the dinner.
Is there any arranged for Saturday night.
Regards,
Derek
This is a good question but we cannot give a definite answer. However
these are the sample menus we have had:
Scottish Menus
£25 per person
Menu 1
Scotch Broth Soup
Chicken Balmoral with creamed potato, roasted vegetables & café au lait
Cranachan
Freshly Brewed Coffee with tablet
Menu 2
Scottish Smoked Salmon with caper vinaigrette, brown bread & butter
Rump of Lamb with Skirlie mash, honey roasted carrot & beans with red
wine jus
Scottish Cheese Platter With biscuits & chutney
Freshly Brewed Coffee with tablet
Menu 3
Haggis Bon Bon with salad laced with pepper sauce
Scottish Fillet of Salmon with crushed new potato cakes & greens served
with a white wine sauce
Baked Vanilla Cheesecake with wild berry compote
Freshly Brewed Coffee with tablet
We have no plans for the Saturday evening - we thought improvisation on
the day would probably be the best with no advance payments necessary.
Booking the Holiday Inn has been quite complicated with a lot of work
for John. We shall be in their Conference Suite and at first they
expected us to agree to conference terms including a massive insurance
payment - they had not thought through that it was just a meal. We have
also spent a lot of time in the last week working out the costs and
payment methods for non UK-ers. Almost half of my income comes from the
Netherlands and I know all the tricks the banks try. When my Dutch state
pension was paid directly into my UK account I was charged £7.50 a
month. It now comes to my bank account via the Bank of Ireland and no
charges are involved,
Best Wishes,
Geoff
