BILL OF THE WEEK
THESE may be recessionary times, but there’s no stopping us girls when we just wanna have fun. These ten ladies popped down to Old Spitalfields Market on Wednesday evening “from a nearby major bank” (no prizes for guessing which one), to celebrate one of their 28th birthdays.
They ordered four bottles of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque champagne to start,, then moved on to Nicolas Potel Gevrey-Chambertin and a drop of Chablis to accompany their meals.
On the menu was octopus, salt cod, halloumi, chicken and steak, as well as the restaurant’s signature “dolmades” (stuffed vine leaves) – and all for a snip at £1,018.55 before service. Who says we should be staying at home instead of living it up out on the town?
