It’s our three-monthly catchup with long-time friends and ex-business colleagues, Ian & Ann and Alan & Mags. Today, our eatery of choice is the Arrow Mill in Alcester – we were last here in October, 2022.
It was almost deserted inside when we arrived just after 12 noon, but this place has a large area outside and given the gorgeous weather, that’s where most people were eating.
Not us though! We chose to eat inside, in the cool! 🥵
Strange angle! The ceiling lights were casting an unaturally large shadow when I tried the ‘top down’ approach
It’s a different menu every day here – and there’s always bags of choice. There was plenty to temp us, and it didn’t take long for us to collectively decide to skip Starters and head straight for Mains (with a Dessert in mind, of course!) 😋
The Restaurant soon filled up – as did we! 👍😉. Luckily for our waistline, the Arrow offers ‘mini-desserts’ that include a tea or coffee, saving us the difficulty of should we or shouldn’t we in terms of a FULL Dessert! Actually, it turned out to be a wise decision because the Brownie was so intensively chocolatey, even I – the group’s confirmed chocoholic – couldn’t have managed the full-size version.
Top marks all around for a first-class experience! Great food, comfortable and relaxing surroundings, a chance to catch up with everyone’s news and a varied menu – what’s not to love? 👍👍
Our next get-together is planned for December!
Suitably stuffed, we left the Pub around 2.50 meaning we should have been home by about 4.20, but it wasn’t to be due to various pinch points along the route home. We eventually arrived indoors just after 4.35.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
