@_no_60 kindly gave me 2 tickets for their Food Lovers Club - Great British Pie event last night and I had a cracking evening!
The Food Lovers Club is all about celebrating food, there's a different theme every month and last night's was all about the great British pie!
First up was the classic steak & ale which was fantastic. Then chicken Balti, another winner, who knew? The next two I wasn't so sure about, chicken and blue cheese, the cheese was just too strong and overpowering for a pie and then the Parmo pie which you would think would be delish but it just didn't work!
Each table had a scoring card to score each pie and the winning pie is on their menu from the 4th March. The winner was the classic steak & ale!
Whilst we tucked into the pies, there was a pie themed quiz, let's just say we didn't win😂
Ps. The chips were absolutely banging.
Apologies for the blue tinge in the pictures I was sat under a blue light 🙈
Thanks again @_no_60
Thank you to the @thepeppermillbistro in Billingham for putting up with all my questions whilst trying to arrange a surprise meal for my boyfriend, it was a success👏
All 12 of us had amazing food, most of us had the early bird deal, I still can't get over how amazing the food is for the cost! 3 courses for £21😱 (and the food is incredible)
I had roasted red pepper, sweet potato, coconut milk soup with chickpeas, definitely isn't worded like this 😂
Then for main I had a fish food platter, I feel like the picture speaks for itself and I would 100% recommend.
Then I had a dairy free sticky toffee pudding, I've had this a few times now and it's still banging.
If you're looking for somewhere for a meal that is going to please everyone then @thepeppermillbistro is the one🥰
We went to the @thevillagecrossingbar after, they were lovely too and just a cracking spot for Bev's🍻
Just clearly bloody love Billingham this weekend😂
I went to @thewaitingroomvr on Friday evening in Eaglescliffe for my friend's birthday, it's a vegetarian restaurant but even if you're a meat eater I would recommend visiting!
We had hummus and bread to start but I didn't take a pic, we were too busy eating 😂 the hummus was really thick and creamy and the bread was spot on👌
Then for main I had a mushroom, spinach and cashew nut curry with carrot salad. The mushrooms were left whole and added such a 'meaty' texture and the cashews were crunchy, so it had the perfect balance and plus it was bloody tasty.
The only thing that let it down was the apple crumble. It was more of an apple puree with granola on top, there wasn't much, especially for the price.
The menu was a bit of a pain as it's just on a board on the wall, it was difficult to see and we didn't want to disturb people eating who were sat infront of it🙈
But all in all, it's such a unique place and I'll definitely be back😊
