New normal celebrations


We went to a nearby pub/restaurant on Thursday to celebrate the end of "results fortnight" and treat the kids. It was one of those old wooden-beams and low ceiling pubs (i.e. not Covid friendly!), so what they'd done was move the whole business into the (large) garden out the back of the building.  The kitchen was housed in a large open faced shed affair and the bar was one of those pop-ups that you see at festivals and shows. The tables were really well spaced out (more like 4 meters), there was a strict one way system in place and you could only order and pay for things through their app. Really good experience, a bit like booking one of those "chef's tables" where you can see what's going on in the kitchen and listen to the chefs assembling dishes and shouting "service" etc. Clearly this kind of thing works well in the Summer months and perhaps won't be so convivial in November but hey-ho there's always insulated clothing, we don't seem to notice the cold when eating outdoors on skiing holidays..
