The suppers went down well. Six tables served. Two booked for future concerts. Result.
Except that I'll have to come up with a different menu now.
First through the door this morning (1015) a couple from Swindon who love the Court and like to use their English Heritage membership often. They're also National Trust members. They like the Trust tearooms (but ours is their favourite) and they love the English Heritage audio tours. And they've just had a new grandchild. Oh and they've just cruised back from the Caribbean. And they've been married 40 years and love asparagus. They had teacakes.
The rest of the day was up and down (please note I didn't say *rollercoaster*).
One minute the five of us stood around with NOTHING to prepare, carry out, clear or wash up, and the next all five were SO busy. I swear groups of customers must've been hiding together round the back of the hedge sniggering. Then someone blew a whistle and they all rushed in. We went from nothing to full in minutes. 0-60 in tea time.
Day off tomorrow.
I might open up and then go back to bed. How decadent?
Then of course, in came that chap who stewards the church -goes by the name of Lord Balloon so it is said, and who likes to sit in his favourite seat near the counter and munch away on ham sandwiches etc.
