I thought it's lunch, Andrew?

 

[awilcockson]

Also from bossreggie, I will be selecting a winner at random and that person will have their lunch, drinks on the drinks night/s, transfers in AKL (to and from airport in 7 Series BMW) plus the winery tour, all paid for by me!!

I will choose the winner at random from the first 20 who have booked and paid for the lunch. This will be for ONE person only. (except transfers)

Any news on this?

<crosses fingers>
If I win then I might actually be able to afford to pay for my other meals on the trip

With that many people and that many courses, I'm seeing a Lunch/Dinner fusion

lol. how long did it take for you to go searching through the 60 pages for that one post?
and clearly the lunch can;t be that remarkable if you've forgotten all about it

Longer than I would have liked, but I got there eventually

I am looking forward to the entire weekend.

Wish I could stay on for the winery tour but have things on Sunday that I have to be back for.

Is the steak house going to be able to fit us all in?

I wonder how many people you need to book the entire restaurant...? although I think that not everyone is going to JSH... and in another funny turn of events, I'm back at dinner at JSH on sunday night. Let's hope I don't explode...

Will you be having the 1 kilo ribeye each time ?

Nah, I'm vegetarian.

Just Kidding, I've heard they do good Wagyu ... so I may try that if they have it... I'll see.

 

[bossreggie]

The winner has already been advised. We will announce it at the lunch though.

Looks like you will be having a bit of a extra long holiday in NZ

Oh I forgot to ask

Boss are you going to announce the lunch menu ahead of time?
My mouth has been watering in anticipation

Thanks for the list of who will be there, is there a list for those attending the Friday dinner.

 

[awilcockson]

I'm pretty sure that BR had previously stated that the menu would be kept as a surprise. I'm more interested in seeing the wine list
