Jo and Janet picked us up and we joined Debbie, Stefan and a load of the neighbours at Berardi’s in Kettering to celebrate Deb’s 50th. We’d not been there before, so we weren’t sure what to expect.
It’s just opposite Sainsbury’s in the town, so parking was easy! As we entered the place, we could see that downstairs, at least wasn’t particularly large. The restaurant had reserved the ‘left-hand-side’ for our small group of 20-or-so, and we more or less filled the place.
The tables had been set out in two table of ten – it was the only was they got us all in, but it made getting to the loo and chatting beyond those on either side a bit challenging.

Is it me, or do they look like a couple of ‘thingies’? |
Still, that didn’t stop us having a really good time. We’d all pre-ordered the food, and the service therefore was pretty quick. Portions were generous, and it was piping hot. The rest of the place filled up pretty quickly – it’s obviously a popular place to eat! |
I feel like chicken tonight! |
It was pretty noisy though – mainly because of us – but it gave the place some real atmosphere. We all got stuck into our food – half the fun was remembering what we’d pre-ordered, but the restaurant staff had it pretty well organised. By about 10, we’d waded through all the courses and some of the group decided to go for a glass of Sambuca. I wish I’d had my ‘proper’ camera with me as the sight of a tray of flaming glasses was one not to miss. |
Ahh, chocolate!! |
We scuttled off around 10.15, leaving the rest to continue to enjoy their evening. My guess is that some are still there, some are wandering around the high street and some are having a lie-in…with sore heads!  It was a great evening Debbie – thanks for the invitation! |
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!
