<div dir="auto">Hi all,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I booked a table for 6.30 on Tuesday 12 December.

the excellent Vegetarian Food Studio in Cardiff (<a href="https://vegetarianfoodstudio.uk/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vegetarianfoodstudio.uk/</a>). This year, that would be on Tuesday 12 December.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">For those not aware, VFS specialises in Gujarati regional cuisine, including traditional street food and sweets. It has a very good reputation that many on this list will confirm is well-deserved, and they are very good at accommodating restricted diets. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Typically we get their group special, which this year is £25 per head, which is quite a bit more than it has been in previous years, but works the same as usual - we get a selection of snacks and curries served buffet style, and a small sweet to finish (usually gulab jamun). They do not serve alcohol, but do welcome BYO. (There is nominally a corkage fee, but I don't remember ever seeing it on the bill.)</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Location is about 10-15 mins walk from the city centre, about 5-10 mins walk from Grangetown station, or less than 5 mins walk from local buses at the cross (Pentre Street/Durham Street stops on Clare Road). There is limited on-street parking, but public spaces are available on the Embankment about 200m away.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>If you'd like to come, you can reply here or contact me directly off-list. I would be looking to confirm the booking towards the end of November.</div></div></div></div>
