We do that on occasion, spend and hour or two and done. Depends on the
friends and time. Other friends we will spend the day with, sometimes
cooking, other times ordering out.

If we meet at a restaurant I prefer to do it at "off" times so you can
relax and not hold up a table needed for the people waiting. You
usually get better service too as the staff is not overwhelmed.
