Sarah, I wouldn't give up just yet! I was given that info last year, so it could very well be that this location is available again - check with your planner!
Thanks! Disney got back to me this afternoon. They are going to get the okay for UK pubside. Forwarded menus to me and the planner is having the chef call me to go over the menu because my daughter has life threatening nut allergies. I hope my menu will be doable. I am really intent on keeping to the minimums. So excited. Thanks for all your help Carrie. The planner said I was very well informed.The only way to cut costs is by cutting variety or type, not quantity (except the BOC ice cream, of course). But since you need to spend what amounts to $50/person, I think this menu will be fine—it may actually not be enough to meet the minimum! Your planner will get a price from the chef, and then you can adjust from there. If you're really close, you might ask the chef to come up with something that will take you up/down to the minimum.
