Regardless, lesson learnt. Anyway, I have said my piece on this matter and good luck to him trying to churn £45 /head and adding recommendation links to his emails suggesting that 10-20% should be given for service. There was no service. Yes indeed, it was problems with the front house in large, but certainly the air of arrogance exuded by Simon didnt really help the matters. Regardless, lesson learnt.

It was if anything, rather busier. And, we all found where we were supposed to be from the seating plan, but again, we were not kept out of the hall so long.. I think a lot sounds like problems with front of house? I've had a similar experience trying to take a pescatarian friend to a supper club that claimed to cater for non-meat eaters only to be told that 'they couldn't accommodate us'. As it happens, I went with someone else and the food WAS very good but I was a bit grumpy that the marketing said 'open to everyone' and the reality was not.

On this occasion, he had served a Morcillo tart, which on several questions where told was black pudding. We aren’t really au fait with the various types of back pudding, but on a Google search it was revealed as cattle substance. So the two people tucked in , and later Simon revealed in his own words 'its pig's bum. Now I had written to him to make him aware of the religious reasons of abstinence, but this failed on many counts ; a) the waiters didn’t have a clue on what was being served b) on querying they were most unhelpful c) I suspect the seating plan was there for a reason, but non pork eaters were not taken into account. Despite all this, on our departure, Simon tried to laugh it off. No it wasn’t a joke. We didnt have access to the lobby, people kept sounding the buzzer, but no one came until it was fine to come into the main hall.By which point some people had been waiting about 1/2 hour in the cold. Yes, indeed, its very large for a supperclub and so makes it a bit impersonal and more of a canteen where slap dash food is served. He didnt come out until a) the pork had been mistakenly served b) it was time to collect his donations. Understandably, he was busy cooking. But brilliant isnt it, then one puts on a smile and comes to sit with you when its time to count the money.
