Exercise 2.3. Study the dialogue between the Banquet Manager and the client; answer the questions:

B.M. Good afternoon. Tuomo Sipilä, Banqueting Manager.

Runeberg Hotel Restaurant. Can I help you?
C. James Richardson, International Consultants Ltd. I’m phoning
to enquire if you could cater for a dinner party we’re planning to hold on the 2^nd of February.
B.M. In about a month’s time. Yes, I think we can manage that.
How many was it for?
C. There will be about twenty all told. We’re setting up a Finnish
subsidiary and we thought we might celebrate.
B.M. Certainly, sir. At what time had you planned to meet?
C. Well, around 7.30 would suit us fine and we had thought of
your Runeberg Suite. There’s rather an attractive picture in your brochure.
B.M. Yes, the Runeberg suite will be free then. I’ll send you a
couple of menus with some suggested wines in my letter confirming this booking and we can discuss any further details at a later stage.
C. That sounds fine. I look forward to your letter and suggestions.
The address is 12 Gloucester Avenue, London NW1 7EG. My
phone number, by the way is 01 2672290.
B.M. Thank you very much, Mr. Richardson and you’ll be hearing
from us shortly.
