Off to epsom races on friday, been before and couldnt find cycle racks, but below is a statement on their website. So emailed expecting had improved. Sadly they havent and there is no cycle parking, so the jockey club dont care about sustainable travel but want to pretend they do

Finishing off one of my last Diamond beamtimes, I have an existential question. How much mushroom does a risotto have to have to be a mushroom risotto?. At the RAL restaurant the answer is not much #diamondlightsource #RALrestaurant

One half and one slice of mushroom on a plate
