Fine Dining?

[Ilora-Danon]

I was just wondering (and totting up costs) what happens with regards to eating? I'm going to Brum, and on the Saturday's itinerary, there's no mention of a dinner or break or anything like an evening meal, so I'm a bit confused.

And again on the sunday, it just says lunch. Is lunch provided, or is it a 'lunch' that you have to go and source yourself?

May sound like a silly question, but it'd help to know what sort of added costs there'll be during the weekend. I'm already planning to take a bottle of Moet to pop open in our rooms one night, as to save on extra spending etc lol.

Any info would be great, ta.

There will be a special catering area at the Birmingham event with discounted food so that you don't have to pay the main bar prices!

 

I can't remember the exact prices but at previous events we have held there the special catering has been excellent and very reasonably priced!

 

There isn't such an area at the London event but there are a whole host of places to eat just outside the hotel!

As for eating in the evenings, unless you wanna miss the opening ceremony etc, you'll pretty much have to go eat before 6:30pm.

What I did at ET1 was go out early afternoon time (after my signings/photos were all done and before the talks) and eat in town at somewhere like Mcdonalds or Subway or something. Then I took some snacks with me (crisps, cuppa soup things are good, biscuits etc) and had them in my room later if I was still hungry at night. I barely spent anything on food!

 

For the London one this time, according to the google maps image thing, there is a M&S across the street - you can get sandwiches, salads etc there. There's a Starbucks about 4 or 5 buildings down and a Mcdonalds about maybe 10 mins down the street, with more places inbetween.

There's loads of places just round Birmingham, I mean if u can be arsed with travelling, there's a ten minute bus journey to Chelmsley wood (my home town <33 woop) and there's so many diff things, my bestie is bringing her car so we might be able to drive a couple of folk to get something to eat with us, it's only 5 mins away in a car.

There was a Boots just up the road at ET1 so we were sorted! Easy enough to grab a meal deal when you have a free moment and then you can eat it when you get hungry . Seeing as Boots is just about everywhere, I'm hoping there will be one nearby in Brum xD

I never thought about food situation....thanks for posting this. Tina and I will have to get ourselves organised too!

 

Especially snacks - couldnt last without some fruit or yogurt!! Dont want to meet the guests with a rumbling tummy, I would be mortified!!

There's one in Chelmsley like I said which is only ten minutes away and if you happen to be going to lunch the same time as me and Terri I'm sure we can chum you along.
