I can now confirm that Earls (across the street from the Hotel) has confirmed our reservation! We don't have to pre-order and they will take individual billing. I am going with cash on the night as I think it will help with the tipping. 😊.
I suppose I had better book my flight and accommodation soon! 😊
Atlantia, I'm not sure how this forum works yet, but I believe you will see this. Add me to whatever waiting list there is for the Earls across the street from the hotell. If capacity.ends up being a problem, as I said I can invent a second place nearby for all who can't fit into Earls. The moderators know me, and I know virtually no one here by their handle yet. I only have probably 1,000 more posts to catch up on ... sometime!
