...is the marketing spin upon which Stoke Place has settled. So Al and I reinvented our traditional weekend, by eliminating the girls from it. Huzzah!
One of the better photos I took, on a day that turned out to be not bad for taking photos... Against all expectation!
It was one of those Grouponny style Saturday nights away, with dinner and a bottle of fizz thrown in. Al bought me it for my birthday. To be honest, the appeal was mostly in getting rid of the girls for a night and having other people run around and do stuff for the day - no particular expectations of the dinner, aside from there being three courses of it. This turned out a substantial disservice done to the extremely fine Garden Room Restaurant, which offers cuisine to Michelin Star standards, at rather less than typical Michelin Star prices. Three courses for £45, which were already included in the deal (along with several amuse-bouches). OK, we near doubled the cost with service, coffee (plus superb petit-fours) and lack of restraint on the winelist, but this was an exceptional meal for the money. Breakfast wasn't half-bad either.
I took some snaps. Inevitably.
