Tapas and cocktails at Bar 44 Leamington Spa
Although we are very lucky and find good deals to eat at nice places unfortunately sometimes we do get a bit of 'mehh' experience and I think the one disappointing experience that springs to mind for 2011 was Bar 44.
We had 6 dishes between two on a Groupon offer but it wasnt very good, the highlight were the nachos, the service was naff, the place was empty on a Saturday afternoon, one of the dishes we wanted (Calamari or prawns I think) was not available and the tapas wasn't great so I don't think ill be back on my next visit to Leamington Spa as there are loads of other places which must be nicer!

Afternoon tea at The Plough - Harborne
Afternoon tea at The Plough - Harborne
I am absolutely loving afternoon tea at the moment, I am constantly on the look out for places offering a cute afternoon tea and I was very happy to find that The Plough in Harborne offer an awesome one!
It was the perfect day in November, we had a lie in and had a slow walk into Harborne to do some shopping and then ended our trip with the afternoon tea at The Plough. The afternoon tea for two includes sandwiches, cupcakes, brownies and prosecco and it was all just NOMALICIOUS! and to top it off the teapot had a little tea cosy on :)
It came out on an adorable little cake stand and was filled with goodies that we couldnt wait to dive into.
Just gorgeous...
Go and check it out youself you'll be happy you did :)

Mayan Cheery Coffee Frappè at Cafe Blend - Birmingham
Mayan Cheery Coffee Frappè at Cafe Blend - Birmingham
Cafe Blend is quickly becoming my favourite coffee shop in Birmingham because of its large selection of drinks and chilled out comfortable atmosphere. They offer tea, coffee, alcoholic coffee cocktails, coffee martini's - plus LOTS more on their menu!
On my first visit I had just a regular coffee and a sandwich but I was eager to try one of their coffee cocktails so on my second visit I went for a Mayan Cherry Coffee Frappè which was Blended with Tia Maria, chocolate, cherry & vanilla topped with whip cream this was very delicious but I did find it a little sickly towards the end but thats my fault for going for the one topped with cream! haha. It was just what I needed to relax after a day of shopping.
If you haven't been you should go and check out the menu, its full of exciting flavours and you will definitely find something you like. Its such a great place to sit and chill after shopping. You can find Cafe Blend at the address below...

Turkish Night at The Grill in Halesowen!
Turkish Night at The Grill in Halesowen!
Back in November I went to a Turkish night which was being held at The Grill in Halesowen in the West Midlands and it was a fantastic night! I just wanted to do a small post to thank The Grill for a great night and show you guys a couple of pictures from the evening. It was a night including a three course meal and a belly dancer which was great fun.
We had soup to start but unfortunately I didnt take a picture of that....The main course was Ottoman chicken which was delicious and reminded me of my many holidays to Turkey....
The dessert was something I hadn't tried before which was Baklava and this was definitely a winner! It was so sweet and yummy and I definitely need to try and make it because the next Turkish night might not be for a while!
and here is our lovely belly dancer who got us all up dancing with her :)
Everyone thouroughly enjoyed their evening especially the food! The Grill serves a wide selection of food, snacks and drinks and if your near Halesowen you should definitely pop in and have a read of the menu...even if your visit is only for a coffee go and check it out!
See you soon!! :)
