The regulations changed on the morning of the planned Spicy Dining evening, and table sizes shrank from a possible 10 to a maximum 6. The organisers waved their magic wands, and the Royal Buddha staff did a hasty reconfiguration of their table layout, which resulted in thirteen tables of four, suitably spaced, and the evening went ahead with full attendance. It meant rather slow service, but the food was hot and tasty, orders all correct, and the staff coped remarkably well. In current circumstances we must all be extremely grateful for enjoyable social evenings like this, and all our thanks go to organisers John and Elaine Ross and the staff at the Royal Buddha.
