2012-10-13 London Cocktail Week Ride (Do Get Lean)

pffft... at 4 in the afternoon?!

okay that means
The Two Brewers - it's a pub.
L'Atelier De Joel Robuchon - dunno
Ronnie Scotts - no flip-flops, no shorts.
Bob Bob Ricard - Elegant. (Ties are not required)
Lucky Pig - dunno
Worship Street Whistling Shop - dunno

Robuchon's one of the finest chefs in the world, serving the jet-set his infamous pomme purée - his recipe uses as much butter as potato. He's also exploitative enough to make the national press the other day with his version of bangers and mash, currently on the menu for a cool £75.

Wow, That's steep.... Looks fucking lish though.

The bar at Hawksmoor (spitalfields) does excellent cocktails and is a generally nice place.

Dress code for the ride:

the bar next to my work (Riding house cafe) does great Old Fashioned although I could never justify £8 for it so next week is going to be awesome :D

Starting to look forward to this, especially as it's my last weekend in Londinium for a while.

I have a spare ticket btw if anyone needs one (it's not a free one so £4 to you!)

Got my vines ready, just need to get some shoes and a pair of rowdy socks and I'm cool.
The Secret Is You Got To Coordinate!!! - YouTube

is anyone collecting over the next few days? if anyone going on sat could collect mine itd be greatly appreciated...

I think you need ID to collect so you'd have to mail it to the relevant person.

if you need to collect on someone else's behalf, please bring their unique booking code or email address for reference.

according to the site!

Nice! I might collect mine tomorrow evening as I'll be in that part of town, getting a new pair of dogs. PM me your shit and I'll collect your wristband.

I went along to the collection place tonight around 6:30pm but the queue was insanely long. Will make attempt 2 tomorrow, probably in office hours to avoid people.

Ah, might incorporate it into my lunchtime run. Pops, did you see Thom? He's doing every night this week, what a soldier!

Yeah, i'm going to go down in my lunch break too. No, didn't see Thom, but there were hundreds of people queuing down the street. I took one look at it and left.

I picked up wristbands today, twas easy, they just asked for my surname & voila! there were the magic wristbands! (take ID just incase)

So in preparation for said ride we tasted a couple of drinkys...the verdict...very tasty! Be prepared for a possible service charge in some places, & one specific cocktail per venue being served...but all in all great, as Im sure my head will tell me in the morning...

hmm I need to figure out when I'm going to get to there to pick up my bands. I'm away till Thursday gah

Not going to be able to get mine till saturday, there better not be a queue.

PM me your details and I'll try and get them tonight.

By the way, are you going for the Farrakhan look? Two brothers can't show up with the same look, it'll be embarrassing. Plus it'll look like we're at an NOI rally and people will get nervous. Let's agree now, you go preppy and I'll go looking like Brother Mouzone.
