Travel:
If you are arriving by public transport, please use the TFL journey planner (https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/) to review your travel time and plan your journey to the restaurant.
If you are arriving by car, please use the awesome power of Google Maps to plot the best route - unless you have your own GPS.
Important notes:
- If you will be arriving after 7.15pm, please send Ben or Katherine a heads-up message. Sometimes restaurants request that unoccupied places are put up for grabs for walk-in customers so your place can't be guaranteed if you're unexpectedly late.
- The organiser fee of £2 per person (including guests) will be collected on the night, so please bring some coinage. We also ask that you stay until the bill is paid in full to be fair to everyone.
- If you cannot come, please change your RSVP in advance. This ensures members aren't disappointed in missing out. Regular "No-Shows", those who RSVP yes but don't turn up, will be removed from the group to enhance the experience for others.

How's it going to work?
Well, as in previous years, the idea is that we will all gather around midday and then freely wander up and down the street food. It is likely that everyone will split up into groups as they explore and sample the delights available to us.
This is one of the least organised of all our meet ups as everyone wants to go and do and see different things - so if you don't catch us at midday you'll have to come and find us!
