These are the timings:
7:30pm - Doors open to punters
8pm - Aim to start getting people seated downstairs
8:10pm - First cheese expected to hit the plates
11pm - Need to be out of the venue (having cleaned up)
If you're in the 'hood beforehand you might want to assemble at a nearby pub e.g.:
The Pride of Spitalfields
Duke of Wellington
The Ten Bells (it looks like this has changed from its former more exotic incarnation...)
If you choose somewhere then post up where so others know.
Andy - Nathan and I will be at the venue from around 6pm. If you do want to lend a hand then that would be welcome. I don't get the impression there will be that much to do so it's not necessary. Just setting stuff up I think.
More generally, if it gets a little busy, then people stepping in to lend a hand (dishing up, refilling booze) might be helpful, and some assistance with cleaning up afterwards would definitely be appreciated.
