My first (potential) pop up

I’ve been invited to host a pop up at The Roker Hotel in Sunderland, a beautiful beach front location in Roker, Sunderland, a stone’s throw from my house.
The proposed date is Saturday August 3rd and there will be two sittings to be confirmed.

I’m planning on 5 courses and the price is to be determined.

Early stages at the minute but I hope to have this confirmed and be able to start selling tickets within a week.

For anyone interested here’s the menu I’m proposing. I’m not the kind of chef who'll make a veloute out of asparagus so if you're looking for foams and all that carry on I’m not your girl.

Any comments welcome at the bottom. It would be helpful to know what people would pay per head? the price will be determined once the manager has priced up the event.

thanks
