Until recently, I've lived in the neighbourhood for about 10 years. I  
know pretty much everywhere within walking distance that sells food.

Your options are pretty limited:

- Speedy Peppers on Princess Street (about £10/pizza)
- The bunch of places opposite All Saints Park (about £8/pizza)
- Errr... an assortment of cafes/bars/restaurants that might struggle  
to cater for 15 people for £100.
- Possibly, and it'll be a stretch at your budget, East-z-East near  
the Ibis. They might do a large takeaway buffet/finger-food order.

That said, Odder across the road might be tempted into doing something  
buffet-like given the meets are on a weeknight and it's regular/easy- 
ish cash. So *might* Lass O'Gowrie, but they're not geared up for  
external catering. However, Gareth (the landlord), would let you have  
upstairs for nowt if you wanted to change venue I expect and buffets  
are about £6/head.

There are other bars nearby as well: Revolution, Font, Pure, all of  
which are known to do food and may do a buffet-style take-out. Kro2  
might as well, but their prices are a little steep for catering  
options. Worth talking to them though.

Just get a buffet option and a bunch of napkins and you're sorted.

That said, Speedy Peppers does pizza and is open 6pm-v.late, as do a  
whole bunch of places in the village about 10 minutes walk away.


> - Most people should like the food


I'll eat pizza, that doesn't mean it's my first choice. :-) I know  
that I am very much in a minority in coding circles though.

Everybody around there will given a bit of notice. Weeknights are  
pretty quiet. They'll be glad of the turnover normally.

I've got an AMAZING idea for the next meeting....


> Except hos and crack, I'm not allowed


... oh. Oh, right, well, errr... never mind then. *I* thought it was a  
good idea.
