Oi Monty, re Barrafina

[Sir C]

We're off to the theatre

So plan on being at Barrafina at opening time as you suggest. Love the sound of all of those dishes. Any post theatre watering holes for a posey drink you would recommend?

Thanks again.

I'm very much a creature of habit when it comes to bars, I'm afraid. The Savoy (Beaufort Bar, not American, which is for tourists and jews), The Connaught and Claridges are my drinking holes of choice. I'm sure there are many newer, trendier choices to be had.

If you're in Covent Garden, Cross Keys on Endell Street has a fine ambience, but I don't know which beers they have on at the moment.

Where is the bar in Claridges then?

Given that I am essentially a regular there I should know. Up the back past all the ****s paying a small fortune for sandwiches and tea??

It's odd that I described it as apple and fennel, when it is, of course, pear and fennel. I generally have no use for a pear, but it makes a terrific salad sw.

Do you have pears and fennel there? A pear is a fruit which looks a bit like a green potato. A fennel bulb looks a bit like a potato with sticks growing out of the top.

Sounds horrible. I'd replace the salad with a meat dish.

As you go in it's down a short corrdior to your right. Yes, at the back.

The short corridor to the right as I went in brought me to the jacks.

I think you are lying to me.

Beyond the facilities lies the entrance to the bar. I suspect you were distracted by security trying to eject you.

Are you an African dictator, in London visiting his dentist and cashing that aid cheque at Harrod's and B&Q?
