Pale green

The weather didn't look good for today but we had a party of ten booked in for lunch so I knew it wouldn't be a wash-out.
As it turned out we were rather busier than I'd expected. We took the first lunch order (ham on granary, smoked salmon and cream cheese on granary, cheddar on granary) at 10.45. Then soup orders started at 1130.
What did for the planning though was the arrival of a small coach party (unannounced) AT THE SAME TIME as the expected party of ten. It was a heads-down-and-plough-on lunchtime. Sara warned those ordering lunch that there would be a delay, so when I arrived at their table bearing gifts on a tray I was greeted by gasps of joy - "that was much quicker than we thought". Thank goodness.
Today was also dairy-free day. Two people within half an hour of each other. Both very appreciative of the raspberry and dark chocolate muffins.
Here's a question which foxes us most days - should one serve milk with green tea?
