Thank you very much everyone - especially @Thirdeariespace; I'll follow those up. I've put out a call for DJs but it would be brilliant to have a mixture of live performance and DJ. Thank you again!
You did ask, @HolbornFox... this photo was from around the corner. I joke that Teessides's motto is "if you liked it, you shoulda melted cheese on it" - in this case, grilled chicken, bit of Béchamel, lots of melted cheese, who needs a kebab with th…
