It arrived while we were away on a mini-break and my son emailed me a pic of it, which I opened whilst sitting in a full (socially distanced) restaurant dining room.

Left a bad taste.Original review belowMy husband and I got Allan for our wedding coctail hour in Galway June 2017. Allan was super easy to deal with and very professional.
