Cocktails, The Ivy, Winchester

-
Having lived in Bristol, I was very excited to see that The Ivy was coming to Winchester. The Ivy in Clifton Village, Bristol, is situated in an old bank, so I really interested to see what they were going to to with the decor in Winchester given it used to be an L.K.Bennett store.



The building can seat around 150 guests and offers a range of seating in the style of booths and tables. I was rally impressed to see the new refurb had been done to the same beautiful standard I had seen in Bristol but with a few added improvements. Bold colours contrast the marble floors giving the restaurant a classic but fun vibe.

My favourite feature was definitely the large windows that open up allowing you to enjoy the sunmer sun while sitting in the shade. Luckily for us, we had picked a glorriously hot day to visit so were able to enjoy a few cocktails in the sun.


The bar area itself is also a thing of beauty. I would say overall that I agree with The Ivy when they say the space is sophisticated yet relaxed. 



We settled on two cocktails to try for the afternoon, the Salted Caramal Espresso Martini and The Ivy Royale.


The Ivy Royale

 The Salted Caramel Espresso Martini 


 The cocktails are beautiful and to be honest, I could have quite happily spent a whole day sipping on the Salted Caramel Espresso Martini. It was perfectly balance, not too sweet, but just sweet enough to ensure you could enjoy far more than one ;)


Cheers to that!

Dinner, The Goat, Timsbury

When we had friends come to visit mid-September, we knew exactly where we wanted to go for dinner. The Goat in Timsbury (just outside Romsey) has been open since June/July 2019 after a full renovation. The result? A beautiful gourmet pub which offers a lovely garden area to watch the sun go down with a cold drink. Because we decided to take a group a friends to The Goat, I was lucky enough to try a whole host of dishes all in one go! It's just as well my friends love me and have the patience to let me snap photos of their food and have a little taste of their dish. The new decor is country chic which gives a relaxed vibe. There is a lovely fireplace with sofas where you can enjoy a drink in front of the fire with your loved ones. Starters and small bites We had a combination of dishes from the starters and small bites menu to kick off our meal.  Charcoal grilled halloumi with salsa Verdi  Listed as one of the 'small bites' it was a lovely way to st

Overnight stay, The Baraset Barn, Alveston

Mid July we headed ‘up North’ to visit friends and family for the weekend. As we have a 3-month-old baby, we decided to break up the journey by stopping off at The Baraset Barn, Alveston. We picked The Baraset Barn because it was quick and easy to access from the M40 and meant we could be on the M6 nice and early ahead of the morning rush. There are just 16 rooms This was our first hotel stay with a baby so we were feeling a little nervous. From the website, the rooms looked large enough to accommodate a travel cot or a pram. The room did not disappoint, we had ample space for setting up little man.  Sometimes hotels can make rooms look large on their website then you turn up to something tiny; this was not the case. If anything, it was actually the opposite as the room was much larger than I had anticipated. There is a small mini-fridge in the room that had bottled water and fresh milk for the coffee machine. The room also comes with two dressing gowns, an iron and ironing board.  The

Summer Garden Afternoon Tea, The Ivy, Winchester

Last week I headed into Winchester (with my 11-week old baby) to try the Summer Garden Afternoon Tea. It was my mums birthday, so her partner and I arranged to surprise her. My mum is gluten intolerant, so I’ll show you what the ‘normal’ afternoon tea is like vs the gluten-free offering. Afternoon Tea at The Ivy, Winchester is served between 3-5pm. As we had baby G with us, we opted to eat at 3pm to ensure we were home in plenty of time for the bath routine (how things have changed!).  The first course of sandwiches and scones was promptly bought to the table alongside our glass of champagne. Our savoury selection included: Truffled chicken brioche roll  Marinated cucumber and dill finger sandwich on basil bread  Smoked salmon on beetroot bread with cream cheese and chives  I love that the cucumber and salmon sandwiches were served on flavoured bread. This made them seem a bit more special than your average afternoon tea and delivered a deeper complexity of flavour. I didn’t think I wa
