  1. I've been to a lot of cities in the Eastern Hemisphere, and wherever I go, I try to find decent Mexican food. After years on this quest, I've realised once you exceed a thousand or so miles distance from Mexico, Mexican food is an abysmal. The only exception to this rule is the Pembroke kitchen. Somehow you've broken the twin constraints of distance from Mexico and generally bland British food to produce fantastic Mexican cuisine. Any chance we could see some in a formal hall?

  2. This all looks fantastic! Good luck with this busy first week of term!...

    I was a guest at the Guggenheim Feast on Friday night past, and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Many thanks for your team's splendid work.

    (I did, though, foolishly forget to take away a copy of the menu or any of the other bits from the evening (eg. guest list, et al). Any chance you have them to hand and could email me a copies? I am on paul.trathen@btopenworld.com)

    Thanks again!
