Beers Bars and Birthdays

Well, it’s been the hubby’s birthday over the weekend (like every queen we have at least 2 per year) and this one was a pleasant and relatively quiet one. We went to the pub for lunch – The Crown in Blackfriars Road. At this point I will say I’m not much of a pub person but this one was wonderfully comfy, has a secluded beer garden which manages to be quiet! We spent a pleasant afternoon there having a nice lunch and then wandered around enjoying the sunshine. He then received a call to let him know he’d got the job he’d applied for and we proceeded to wander until we returned with our flatmate to the Crown for dinner. They then served us up a hot platter with a selection of hot dishes including sausages, chunky chips, chicken kebab, ciabatta with roasted vegetables, salad and sauces which comfortably served 3 without desert for £12. After this repast we went home and flopped in front of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
