Could you please pass this on to everyone involved including the kitchen and serving staff, the bar staff and also to Tyrone who could not have been more helpful. It was also good to meet Mr Michaelides (Senior) and could you also pass on personal thanks to Antony for his patience, assistance and good humour throughout as I do not have his email address. Last, and by no means least, thanks to you and whilst only coming in at the final stages you were very helpful and a calming influence as the general anxiety levels were rising! Thanks again and all the very best in your new role.
