This has been a lean but delightful week with only one visit, but it was rather a special one. RM and I met up with the Mr and Miss Love Bird to celebrate Miss Love Bird's well deserved promotion. Unfortunately I have now run out of new bars and so we met at The Crown and Two Chairmen (Dean Street East) which wasn't one of my favourites when I visited previously, but I arranged it in a rush and got confused.com! Anyway the good news is that it was right next door to 'elegant and stylish' Quo Vardis http://www.quovadissoho.co.uk/ and we felt it was time to be upmarket because as well as celebrating a promotion, Mr Love Bird had just being made a school governor, RM is hoping to become a pensioner and as for me, well I was looking forward to a makeover the following day for the Christmas edition of the Boots Health and Beauty Magazine (order your Boots Advantage cards now and then you won't have to pay a £1 to see me!). We started as befits any celebration, with a bottle of champers and then all had something different to start with: squid, sand eels, steak tartar and a scotch egg (albeit an upmarket one). Mains were very meaty: pork belly, neck of lamb and beef ribs which were huge slabs of beautifully cooked meat. We were too full for dessert, but three of us were able to manage a snifter of port. And with that, the love birds flew off into the night to dream of becoming Mr and Mrs Love Bird.
PS: I did hear from two independent sources, that Miss Love Bird had a slightly bad head the next day.
PPS: Lots of offers flooding in volunteering to test out Sunset Strip with RM!
