It’s Ally’s birthday soon, so today being the closest Saturday, we headed off to the Fox and Pheasant in Stoke Poges for a celebration meal. The pub offers a carvery meal for two for £10, so with fourteen of us, we went for seven of those. This allowed us to take a portion of meat and help ourselves to as many vegetables as we could fit on the plate! It’s amazing how much you can fit on one plate! After a rather hearty main course, dessert was served – with a whisper in the waiter’s ear from Mim – complete with a birthday candle in Ally’s dessert accompanied with a short refrain of ‘Happy Birthday’ thrown in for good measure (and suitable embarrassment). A good evening spent with friends, made all the better seeing the birthday girl enjoying herself.
