With another day of successful employment under one's belt, it was off to The Green Hen for a spot of Early Birdery with the delectable Michelle O'Brien, whom I hadn't seen in an age. A bottle of Marlborough sauvignon blanc was ordered with haste and it nicely washed down the three courses that followed, starting with a very tasty Blue Cheese, Pear and Walnut salad. 'Chelle opted for the mushrooms and poached egg on brioche, without the poached egg. For mains, both of us plumped for the free-range Supreme of Chicken, which I have to say was the most flavoursome I have tasted in years, possibly ever. To conclude, a baked Baileys Cheesecake with lime ice-cream truly hit the spot. The total bill came in at under €40 each, including a 6% addition for fairly poor service. (I have gone beyond 20% when it is merited.) And no CityDeal vouchers were harmed during this Green Hen production.
Onwards to the No Name Bar which was stylish and buzzy as ever, although the soul music on the decks was blared a couple of decibels higher than was necessary. Nonetheless it failed to stymie the flow of magnificent conversation or Italian vino until the bewitching midnight hour, when it was time to regrettably retreat and prepare for the following day's school.
OK, John as the men's toilets I totally get, but Anne for the ladies? Anneyone got anney idea why?
