The Counting House: it was very smokey, very loud and full of suits. But then we did pick a pub in the City.

Cracking building though and great turn out. Recommend the sweet potato and goat cheese puff pastry pie, sans bankers.

Thanks to everyone who came. We'll be doing another of these in the New Year. If anyone is interested in meeting for drinks somewhere other than London, let us know and we'll set something up if there's enough interest.

Apologies to Chris for the awful wasp joke...
