No problem at all. As mentioned i am going next week, so i will reacquaint myself with what the best options are for larger groups, and let you know. Regards John.

Bruno's Restaurant Gibraltar | Much more than just a Bar or a Restaurant
pretty decent, good prices on food, and they do happy hours or always have some kind of promotion going on. Nice location opposite the Sunbourne in the Ocean Village. With plenty of outside seating ( if the weather is okay for March)

Charlies Steak house and Grill (same location as Bruno’s) is very good. ( They do veggie options) you may struggle with a large group unless you book well in advance. Charlie's Steak and Grill

Might have to give this a go, but definitely taking a leaf out of Calchas' book and turning up early, possibly even Thursday. I wonder if, with Brexit around the corner, things could get interesting there too

Excellent. Flights are from T3 so no First awing, and assume you will be going HBO so no need to actually check in at a desk. However, I’m sure access to CX F can be arranged for those who require it.

FYI, O selling class is showing O9 again for the later outbound flight (BA490 at 1230). A return flight will therefore cost £76.
