"Already brewing." came a reply from the kitchen area. "Gimme 10 minutes or so, there'll be enough for a few mugs for each of you." A moment or two later the barman emerges with a pair of plates piled high with food. One looks to contained boiled potatoes, the other a mess of chilli, with the mince and beans bubbling in the juices.<br/><br/>"Got more on the way." the barman adds. "Figured you folks could jus' take what you wanted." He reaches under the counter and produces a stack of plates. Not exactly fancy china, but they're clean and unchipped. To these is added a handfull of knives, forks and spoons, before he turns and heads back to the kitchen.
