Hmmm... is everyone who is coming planning on making it an early night?
I was thinking of flying in on Thursday afternoon just in time for dinner, making it a long night and flying back to Frankfurt at 06:25am on Friday, taking the first HEx at 05:10. If I do it that way, Lufty will charge me the bargain basement price of 60 quid all-in.
I don't much fancy doing that if I'll be the only one out past midnight though.

I have updated the OP with drinks and dinner details 
Work? WORK?!?! Rubbish excuse. You'll be there. 
Poor, in fact, shocking excuse. You'll be there.
In Germany? Humm, better excuse 
It's hard to say to be honest. Certainly, midweek DOs do tend to finish earlier than the weekend extravaganzas. I can't envisage it going on much after midnight....

Can I suggest Wong Kei's in Wardour Street; this has been a DO feature before - it is exceptionally inexpensive, has no trouble accommodating large groups without a reservation and personally I think the food rather good. It is also staggering distance from our usual All Bar One.
Wong Kei may have a reputation for rudeness (quite why that's attractive to some I don't know) and it's okay for a one dish meal (the few times I've been) ... but you can do a lot better elsewhere in Chinatown!
I agree that it's quite inexpensive but surely this isn't a material consideration for all or most of the people attending ?

BAAZ, Krug, others - not disagreeing with you about Wonky's charms, but for an FT Do?

As those that know me will appreciate, chinese restaurants are not my strongpoint! Let's leave Wong Kei there as an option, but I am certainly open to other, better, suggestions....
Where was the Chinese place we all went to after PhilH's DO back in Oct/Nov '05?
