Regret Over Curry Recommendation

[Tuesday 13th January]
One of the managers from the US was over for a couple of days this week to talk about numbers and stuff. I'm rather fond of the chap, not least because he is a fellow vegetarian. He's a big fan of Indian food, which I think it a highlight of coming to the UK for him, and so today he asked for suggestions for a place to eat, and I proposed Woodlands. Although I have to admit I later came to slightly regret my suggestion. Last time he was in the UK we organised a similar meal in the evening and there weren't many attendees, so tonight I pretty much just chose a place that I thought would suit me and our visitor, with possibly a couple of hangers on.

This evening, however, there were a rather unwieldy 10 of us. This would have been fine, but Woodlands has a rather complicated menu, especially with it being entirely vegetarian, and a couple of us ended up having to order for the whole table. What a weight of responsibility that is. Naturally I panicked that there wouldn't be enough to go around, and that it would be awkward to split dishes designed for 1 or 2 people 10 ways, and ended up ordering far too much. It wasn't cheap either. Ho, hum.

After dinner a few of us stayed out for a couple of after dinner drinks. We first popped into the The Chequers, and then a favourite of mine from the other night The Red Lion.
