As a guest of the King, you’re offered a six course banquet eaten without fork, knife or spoon.  It begins with warm loaves of bread, pepper cheese trenchers and faux Dragon soup.  Mixed shellfish, beef rib and salad precede the final course, roasted herbed chicken with steamed vegetables.  There are plenty of napkins to keep fingers dry and tidy.  Vegetarian substitutes and cakes (some customers bring cupcakes) are available with at least 24 hours notice.

To refill glasses while feasting, redeem your flagon token (one per person) for a pitcher of dark or light beer, Chablis or carafe of non alcoholic lemonade.
