Gotta be steak pie though & definitely not £13 quid a go.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:09 pmI'd stick to the pie-eating contest if I were you. Got a feeling you'd win it.
Betfair / Python London Meet-up (21/01/20)
That's why he'd win it, he'd be the only competitor.wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:12 pmNot at those prices!!
Talking of prices, I'm in London now. I popped into a nice but fairly modest cafe for breakfast, nowhere near central London. A full English breakfast was £9.75!
And I've noticed the Counting House is a stone's throw from Liverpool Street Station. I'd love to pop in on my way back, order one of these pies, photograph and post it here but I'm leaving early afternoon next week. Can't make next week but I'll definitely turn up to a future event, I'm only a train ride away.
Edit: Actually there's no need to go to that trouble. From the menu pic I think there's a serious imbalance of pie/veg/chips or some more substantial side!

I’d like to come to one of these events though I agree that £13 for a pie and chips in London is excessive.
If you ever hold one of these meet ups at a northern based Macdonalds, then I’d definitely attend.

Me being a functional trading alcoholic that won't be any issue whatsoeverwearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 10:21 amThe think the T&C's are that you have to order the pie and down the first pint of Guinness as quickly as you can.
Thinking shall we all go Salt Bae after for an appertif?

It's later this week:
New meet-up date organised:
6pm Thursday 28th October, The Counting House (The Gallery Room)
https://www.the-counting-house.com/
For anyone who's been to these meetings before or knows the pub - is there an outside area?
I've been using Betfair's Python API for a while and I'm keen to meet some others, but I'm still avoiding most unmasked indoor contact. Would be keen for an outdoor drink if that's an option!

Going by my limited knowledge of geometry, there must be an area outside and surrounding the pub.harry wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:43 pmFor anyone who's been to these meetings before or knows the pub - is there an outside area?

No worries, thanks for organising! I'll hopefully join one of the next meetups.LinusP wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 7:23 pmAnnoyingly no there isn’t, sorry.harry wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:43 pmFor anyone who's been to these meetings before or knows the pub - is there an outside area?

Probably just as well. At London rates it would be an extra quid a pint to pay for the garden!LinusP wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 7:23 pmAnnoyingly no there isn’t, sorry.harry wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:43 pmFor anyone who's been to these meetings before or knows the pub - is there an outside area?

Hope it all goes well - looks a nice pub. See if you can take a group shot and post it.LinusP wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 3:38 pmNew meet-up date organised:

Amazing turnout last time and should be good with Betfair (premium + API team) and potentially BetConnect (founder + API team) also in attendance.
