I’m not entirely convinced that Valentine’s Day should
really be an actual holiday; mainly because I’m usually single and I will
openly admit that seeing shed loads of couples uploading photos of their new
Michael Kors watches or Pandora charms with the hashtag #boydonegood made me cringe.
HOWEVER! This year, I happened to find myself ‘with
significant other’. I KNOW! I couldn’t believe it either. And so, like many other 20 something couples,
we went out for a couple of drinks and dinner in Covent Garden, London.
We had both been to Bill’s before, but only for dessert.
Which led us to perusing the menu, and oogling the mouth-watering dishes.
Therefore, it seemed like a pretty obvious choice for us to go for dinner some
time….and Valentine’s Day is as good a day as any!
Now, if you haven’t been before, I would strongly advise you
take a cheeky look at their menu (http://bills-website.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Bills-Food-Menu-London.pdf)
OH MY SWEET JESUS! It is honestly one of the best places I
have ever been. To start, my boyfriend and I shared the spiced tortilla chips.
This was a decision made solely on the addition of tzatziki, which we are both
completely obsessed with. And I have to say, it did not disappoint at all. The
chips were rather spicy though, and they did sting my lips a little, but I
still absolutely loved them!
For mains, I went for the Bill’s hamburger, whilst my
boyfriend decided on the beer-battered cod. If I’m honest, whilst they were
tasty, the mains didn’t really wow me. But I would suppose that’s because we
were only eating them as a filler between the tzatziki starter and the wonderful
desserts we knew were to come!
Which leads me on to the…….
ETON MESS
I can’t describe this to you. A few choice words come to
mind; divine, superb, a gift sent from heaven. We shall say no more or I will
start drooling on my keyboard.
As you can see, although many couples see Valentine’s as a
chance to give and receive fancy presents, in my eyes it is a chance to spend
time with my amazing boyfriend, and to eat really good food whilst doing so.
The best present I could ever receive is a beautiful meal with my
beautiful man.
And the Eton Mess.
What did you get up to this Valentine’s Day? Have you eaten
at Bill’s before? I’d love to know :)
