We Dine!

What better way to celebrate Halloween than by... going to an upscale Chinese restaurant?

In a former Meetup life, this was a restaurant I enjoyed going to for their weekend set menu, and it became one of my favourites.
For the first time in this group, we're visiting the same branch with a 50% off food offer from the à la carte menu. (Set menus and drinks are not included in the offer, as usual.)

I've booked a table of eight, reserved for only the finest of guests. You'll soon find out which of the menu items has my name on it.

Due to popular demand, a second table for six people has been booked by Kavita.

From the web site:
"Heard. was born out of Jordan Bailey ’s desire to make quality food more accessible by turning an everyday comfort food into something exceptional.
"Jordan uses his expertise and relationships with top suppliers to make burgers that are deceptively simple yet made with the same care and precision as a Michelin-starred dish.
"Heard. isn’t just a burger, it’s a new standard."

Ya' heard? I've got a table for eight for their Soho restaurant's soft launch, where we will have 50% off food. They're suggesting their burgers are worth the trip, so we'll see about that.

PLEASE NOTE: we only have the table for just less than two hours, so this isn't an event for casual latecomers.

The table is booked under Drew.

Literally stolen from the web site:
"Bridget Fojcik, our resident American, and the Manager of Honey & Spice deli returns with her sell-out Thanksgiving Supper Club. Join us on Thursday 27th November for a not-to-be-missed menu! We’ll be serving all the classics: Waldorf salad, buttermilk mash, traditional turkey, Bridget’s special stuffing, and plenty more. For dessert, think pumpkin cheesecake."

I wanted to continue the group's tradition of a Thanksgiving event, even though I'm as American as tea and crumpets.

This year, I eventually decided on a supper club offering. Just like this group, Bridget's Thanksgiving dinner is in its third year, and allegedly has a good reputation.

It is on the pricey side, at £65 per person and 12.5% service charge (meaning £73.13), not including drinks.

If that hasn't put you off, you'll be pleased to know that I've reserved a table for ten thankful people.

Apart from the above description, there's no specific menu mentioned, but the food will be served "family style". There is a vegetarian (Phanksgiving*) option available.

* I made that up

To reserve your seat at the table...
Because of the price per person, I'm asking for a deposit of £24 per person for this event, of which £20 will go toward your bill. (The rest goes toward group and payment fees).
