Maypole does good food... I'm sure there are others, but I don't know off
hand.

Precisely no idea, sorry.

Wednesdays at 8pm at the Wrestlers' (don't know where it is, but can find it
I guess) are fine in principle, but not the next one, because term hasn't
started by then and I won't be in Cambridge. As to other evenings, I have no
particular constraints, except that midweek is probably better than weekend.

I am not particularly tall, hove no remarkably distinguishing features, can
be bespectacled or not upon request - and wont be there ;-(. Some other
time?
