Does anyone have any ideas? Friday nights in London bars tend to be very crowded... Where is everyone based? | | |

Hola Samantha,
I am based in Spain. My idea is to fly in that day and stay one or two nites. It all depends of what rate I can get at the hotel.
Let us try to get a good crowd attending this powwow.
Cheers,
JL | | |
I wish I could | Sep 4, 2002 |
I sometimes do translations from Russian (which is one of mystrong points) into Spanish but I don't know if I'll be able to be there. I am based in Madrid.It sounds interesting anyway

Sam D (X) Local time: 14:28 Spanish to English + ... Central London | Sep 11, 2002 |
I'm based in Reading, 30 minutes outside of London and would appreciate a central venue. I also think it's fairer on people coming from farther afield too, as it can be a nightmare getting to Richmond, say, from NE London, let alone Spain! There are some reasonably priced venues in central London, e.g. Gaby's (30 Charing Cross Road, Jewish food), El Pirata (5-6 Down Street, Spanish food), Masala (9 Marshall Street, Indian food) and that's just off the top of my head, without looking at something...

confused -is this Friday lunchtime or Friday evening ? I do not hink it is a bank holiday in GB ? On the web site it says 12.00- then a few od us are assuming that is is the evening- as if most are working, then who is free lunchtime... We do mean evening ? Or do we change it to the Sat. the next day for lunchtime ? | | |

Deborah - Fri lunchtime would be better than the evening, and also easier to find a nice (and cheap) restaurant to accommodate us. I could also do Sat lunchtime if that is better for everyone? | | |
anyone ready to take the lead here? | Sep 19, 2002 |

I'll organise it, since no one else has volunteered!
I suggest Ask's Pizza at 48 Grafton Way W1, near Warren St tube. Not too expensive, reasonable selection of pizza and pasta, central but not trendy, downstairs seating for a group. I've been there several times for similar does. It comes to about £25 per head when you add it all up, including drinks and tip. I'm not prepared to work out what everyone spent - just add 10% and divide by the number of people!

Please email me directly at [email protected] with lunchtime or evening preference (Fri 1 Nov).
I'll post the results here and book a table if there's enough interest. ▲ Collapse | |

Ciao a tutti,
JL
PD Prefer evening option
******************** Number of visits? Several, most recently April 2002.
Location? Next to Warren Street tube station.
Food? Pizza and pasta, with Italian wines and salads. Fairly similar to Pizza Express, ASK are a chain with a set menu throughout their restaurants. There is also a dish of the day - usually a pasta and pesto style dish.
Clientele Office workers - ASK restaurants are in prime city locations and this is no exception.
Cost? About £20 per head.
Anything else? Staff are friendly and helpful, but the service is a bit slow and you may need to book in advance to secure a table. There is disabled access, but many tables are downstairs so ring to reserve if it will be an issue.
Opening Hours? Midday to midnight.
Official Website? None.

On the assumption that Dan is coming (since he suggested it) the preferences are
Dan Brennan Evening David Knowles Evening Samantha Tasker Lunchtime Gillian Noameshie Lunchtime Sophie Vaudolon Evening José Villanueva Senchuk Evening
Pretty even, but evening has it so far.
Any more takers? Please let me know. | | |
