The power lunch is the beating heart of any deal. At Mouse & Mogul, lunch is served at 12:30 in the boardroom, and consists of a silver platter of sardines, a bowl of cream and a stern look.
Key rules: never order before the Chairman, never eat faster than the Chairman and never be seen to enjoy it more than the Chairman. Business should be discussed only between courses, in quiet voices, and ideally with half closed eyes. Deals struck over lunch tend to be favourable, as the other party is often asleep before the dessert.
