More dining out - The Haberdashers' Hall

The Haberdashers' Company is another of London Liveries. Their first hall was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The second hall burnt down in an air raid in 1940. The current new hall was only opened in 2002.

I was invited to a conference dinner last week. When planning event dinners, I choose the menu - so everyone - except for those with dietary requirements - get to eat what I give them. The organizers went down a different path though and went for two different starters, mains and desserts. Every table got half of each and people then got to agree who gets to eat what. Quite an interesting idea as it at least gives the guests a bit of a choice. Difficult though if everyone wants the same...

As per usual, there were a few no-shows, which meant that there were some spare meals to go around. Being seated on the top table meant that we got first pick! Which meant I got to taste the passion fruit creme brulee and the rhubarb panna cotta dessert. Both delicious!

Asparagus, salmon and my two lovely desserts
