By last Sunday that time of year had rolled around again so we headed out to Nando’s for a meal Sunday evening. It being Sunday night and all with a lot of people having work Monday morning, turn out was limited to those really hardcore people, a select group of myself and 18 of my good friends.
We arrived at The Light at 7 as planned to find that Nando’s had in fact run out of food.
I’m not kidding.
Apparently they were closing for a week to refurbish so rather than maintain a sensible stock level and transfer any remaining food to a different restaurant they just let it run out. So we headed down to the one at the bottom of Briggate. I like to think of it as a suprise party as we didn’t tell them we were coming.
Having got down there they said it would take us an hour to get a table and to come back then. They also asked for an exact number of people, which I gave them based on how many people we had there at the time. After that we headed off to the Hog’s Head round the corner for a quick drink while we waited.
Problem was, people started turning up faster than they could seat people. By the time we had got back we had another two people and by the time they had found seats for those two we had another two people! Needless to say the staff at Nando’s were not amused. But I was 
.
The food was excellent as usual, although we did find a chicken brain in Kate’s meal.
Afterwards we headed up to Bourbon which was of course closed - it’s like an A-Soc event all over again. So we ended the night at the Cuthbert Broderick next door drinking until kick out time. Good times.
