Which place are you talking about exactly? The existing restaurant has new bits, both a restaurant counter and a coffee shop counter serving, I believe ( ;-) ) cakes. The other place, the new place, also looks nice, and yes, I shall try and venture forth!

If we get there together, I'll buy you a cake!

I really should get my finger out now it's coming into flying season.

Just Iceman!

Though I will consider each on a case by case basis! :D

Memories of Cranfield. We had a fly-in there around Christmas time and the cafe had a load of home made mince pies. I went up to the counter to buy some for my immediate friends...
"Can I also have 5 mince pies please?"
Someone else comes in.
"No, make that 6."
"7."
"Sod it, how much for all of them?"

I got a deal and bought the lot, then gave them out to everyone in the cafe.

Ha! Thanks Paul. It'd be great to see you all!
