Dear PhD lab,
As you can see below, it took only 18 days to reserve a table at Meadowpark. And who said
only Universities suffer from bureaucratic sclerosis?
Anyway: We can now officially save the day: 1st of December at 16:45 (as 17:00 was already
booked out - no joke)
The good news is that we no longer need to pay a deposit.
See you then!
Best,
Till

Hi there, apologies I’ve been off on annual leave, I see you managed to get booked in for
7 people at 4.45pm on December 1st. We only require a deposit for groups 8+ so won’t
require one. We look forward to welcoming you to The Meadowpark!

Hello again,
I wanted to check if my e-mail below was received.
Can our reservation for 7 people on the 1st of December at 5PM go ahead? I would also like
to give you my credit card details as a guarantee so you won’t have to charge a deposit.
Best,
Till

Hi Angelique,
Now, I have to apologise for the slow response on my end. I had to check back with the
other people in the group.
Our party slightly shrank from 8 to 7, but we would still like to make a reservation for
the 1st at 5PMish.
We are not looking to order from the set menu. We are meeting to have some drinks, and
some of us will probably order some food (from the regular menu). But this isn’t a
dinner-type reservation per se.
I have a question about the deposit. Will you still require a £10 deposit even if we do
not order the set menu? This would create some organisational hassle I would like to avoid
(I would have to collect £10 from my colleagues).
I fully understand that you would like some type of guarantee, though. Would it be
possible for you to just charge my credit card with £70 in case of a no-show situation
(which won’t happen…)? I am happy to provide you with my credit card information.
Best,
Till

Hi there, apologies I’m not sure how we missed your original email! We’d be delighted to
accommodate your group. Are you looking to order from our festive set menu, or our regular
menu? We’ll require a pre-order if you’re looking to order from the Set Menu. There is
also a £10 per person deposit required for this reservation. Would this work for you?
Please let me know! Thank you. Thank you for your patience regarding our response.
Angelique

Hello,
Could you please let me know if the below reservation is possible?
I have also tried a few times to make a reservation via the phone, but I do not manage to
get through.
Thank you,
