Life is a cabaret, old chum!
It feels naughty to go out on a Monday night but that's exactly what we did!
Adrian met me outside the office and we went to The Ivy for a pre-theatre dinner.
It was our second visit there and it was just as good as the first one.
We started with drinks
A cocktail ('Essence of Padua') for Adrian and non-alcoholic one for me ('Green apple ginger')
Then Adrian had
'Duck egg on toast with morcilla, datterini & capers'
followed by
'Grilled poussin forestiere'
while I chose
'Truffled rocket, pear & pecorino salad'
and
'Crab crusted pollock with creamed spinach & shellfish dressing'
It was all excellent! Dessert was great too.
Adrian picked ''Blood orange steamed pudding with custard'
and I had a 'Peppermint coupe'
which is really just peppermint ice-cream with a chocolate sauce but it was served with quite a performance!
The cup was covered with a slab of chocolate on which the waiter poured hot chocolate. The chocolate must have had some popping candy in it as well. It was a simple but lovely dessert!
Price-wise not too bad at all; just under £90 for 2 set menu with a cocktail and a 'mocktail', water, one glass of wine and service. Although of course not to repeated too often, that's for sure!
We had just enough time to walk to the Savoy
for a performance of
(I almost expected Kermit the Frog to pop out of that O but it was Will Young instead!)
The theatre was packed and the gays were out en masse! lol
It was a very slick production, naughty (nudity/lots of leather shorts rubbed very provocatively) but nice.
