I have made a quick call and have managed to sort the following if all are interested.
Brownsover hall is on the A426 nr the M6 jct 1. it is a large stately hoam/hotel with a large car park. they can do a single course set meal for 30 people in their restaraunt for approx £9 per head. It would have to be pre determined what all would like but the following was suggested as a guide steak and amp; chips, lasgne, chilli con carne, curry, cottage pie etc etc. need to know by 6th of feb so could all concerned say if they are interested and instead of saying what they do like please say what you don't like in that type of food range. I am sure that they could do the odd veggie if they have too.
would appreciate your urgent replies (except lee as i have arranged for a table of his own sharing with mr creosote)
