When people ask you how the meeting went, you can honestly, with pride and a smile on your face, reply: We drank the bar dry! You wouldn't have much of a problem getting full attendances to future meets with that sort of testimonial! *grin* Steve ==

In spite of this, they still run out of beer on a Monday once every few weeks. R

We recently vacated the Silver Cross pub on Whitehall because of double bookings, rude staff, lack of beer due to pipes being cut, and running out of beer.

[PUB] Green Man, Marylebone, big function room
Hello. I was very tired this evening and the pub room was small and hot and crowded so I came home early. On the way home I remembered the Green Man, which is near Great Portland Street and Regent's Park tubes, and has a huge function room in the basement that they've been quite happy to reserve for even quite small groups in the past. http://www.fancyapint.com/thepubs/pub688.htm http://streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=528915y=182163 Food is served in the evenings, reasonable menu from what I remember. Is it worth me investigating further? Kake
