Outdoor Food on Friday - July 3rd 2015
Sometimes eating out is a more enjoyable experience thanother times. At the weekend DD and I went to the Bristish Summer Time Festival in Hyde Park. I had won some tickets in a competition so only had to find the train fare and the cost of food. We ate Fish and chips and to be fair they were really good, a smallish bit of fish but really nicely cooked, hot and tasty. The size of the chip portion was good too, and even though the portions were £7 each at least we weren't fleeced extra for ketchup (a practice that annoys me).
But if the food was slightly pricey...the drinks!
I like to have a drink on a sunny day at a festival and often I'll take my own can or two of gin in a tin or similar, I usually buy a drink or two as well. We weren't allowed to take drinks into the festival so I was forced to buy from the bar. I chose a gin and tonic. It was served from a can, ready mixed, I was not offered any ice, let alone a slice of lemon. I was charged £6.50
I had to have another drink to recover from the shock :-)
We had a lovely time. Have you eaten outside this week? Good or bad experiences welcome. Or a recipe for campers or picnics? Please link up below and spread the word. Thank you (why not grab the badge for your blog!)
