It was a “work do” out on Friday, and a chance to sip a few pinots and relax after a hard week. We ended up outside in the courtyard, as they have bench tables – great for large groups – and those big patio heaters.
We ordered some of the sharing plates. The Meat Platter contained mini-burgers (or “sliders” as they are known in America), chicken, lamb kebabs and fries.
The Vegetarian Platter was a mix of falafel burgers, fried courgettes, halloumi cheese, pitta, houmous and tzatziki.
Some of the blokes in the group ordered the burger, and I have to say they looked pretty substantial! Good reports all round.
The Pinot Grigio on offer was nice and I had a few glasses. It was lovely having a drink, eating food and chatting. It kind of reminded me of being in the famous beer gardens of Munich a few years ago (although it was a bit colder!)
I have the same memory of the old Courtyard well from my own student days in the late 90s/early 2000s. Loud rubbish music and either dead or packed whenever I went in.
ReplyDeleteIt's been ten years since I was last in there so it's had time to improve. I might get my butt in there after saturday shopping sometime.
