manoir

I've been along to the Manoir again to say hello (any excuse) to Sara Bianchi the events manager and to see what needs to be decided and there'll be more to follow by way of detail in a day or two as I get organised. I thought you'd all be interested to know now that we have the private suite all day from whatever time in the morning until five thirty. That means we can get there as soon as we want to meet up for coffee at eleven (or earlier if desired). Then there will be a champagne/freshly squeezed reception at twelve and lunch at one. I'm sure some people would be interested in a guided tour of the gardens by one of the gardeners perhaps (especially if the children are being looked after) which can be arranged in groups of ten. There is a helicopter pad too though more like a patch which would need the sheep shooing off it first! Beer! Bottled beer will be ordered for those who require or desire it and is ordered specially and any overs taken with you. So can we start to think about any special dietary requirements. Any vegans or nut allergies coming? Cost.. The three course we know is £62.50. a serving of celibration cake made out of a huge tower of profiterols filled with creme anglais and held together with gorgeous caramel is seven fifty a portion and champers NV is from forty a bottle. Two glasses each then would be about twelve squid.. so think of a hundred a head approximately including booze. All Right? I've got a number to ring about a childrens entertainer who turns up with a station wagon full of toys and a bouncy castle and spends all day with the kids so I'll let you know about that.. love Steve
