The sound of the sea is pretty cool.
For a different experience you might want to try the waterside inn, just down the road, the food is astounding, its another world compared with hestons caff.
The Fat Duck has good novelty value and is definitely an experience, but The Waterside Inn is a class above IMO.Proud owner of +5 Xeno Geek PointsComment

Originally posted by Ravello View PostTo cheer you up again Dante you can (sorry Chef). I took Mrs Ravello to the Waterside Inn last year, total bill was c. £400. As Chef says, you can't claim the entire bill, but you can claim up to the £300 and pay the extra yourself.
"Exemption not allowance
The figure of £150 is not an allowance. For functions that are outside the scope of the exemption (see example at EIM21691) directors and employees, except those in an excluded employment, are chargeable on the full cost per head, not just the excess over £150, in respect of:
* themselves and
* any members of their family and household who attend as guests."

Originally posted by Ravello View PostApologies I stand, well sit, corrected. I spoke to my accountant (SJD) who said I could... Have to say that I didn't read up on it to check. Ah well, at worst I'll have to give Hector back roughly £100, shame but the meal was worth it anyway
I was looking at doing an mba, got told that i could claim it through the company. I ended up sending him the link from the hmrc regarding mbas being a no no.Comment
