This
weekend I ventured back to Eastbourne (my hometown) for a birthday and a catch
up with some old friends. I had such a lovely weekend seeing everyone and I ate
like a king. If you’ve ever been to Eastbourne, you know what a small little
town it is and if you’ve never been … well basically it’s full of old people
and it is in great need off being brought into the 21st century. I
love it regardless.
It was the
gorgeous Emily’s 26th birthday and she invited a group of her closes
ladies to The Hydro Hotel for afternoon tea, it was extremely adorable. I’ve
never been for afternoon tea before but I felt really fancy. I ordered of the
festive menu, I had turkey sammies, a yule log and a hot chocolate. Not your
traditional afternoon tea but it was pretty good and a mega steal at £8.95.
As luck had
it, the Christmas Coca Cola truck was in Eastbourne town center on Saturday so
I went down to have a look when it got dark so I could see it all lit up. It
was really busy so I didn’t queue for a photo with the truck but it did put me
in the holiday spirit, that and my egg log latte in my basic bitch red cup.
On Sunday I
met up with my two oldest loves Rachel and Kaye. We went for a coffee and for
lunch at Half Man! Half Burger! One of my best friends is the head chef there so
we had to visit really to judge how good the food was. I had a festive burger
and coleslaw, which was AMAZING. In a nut shell it was a Christmas explosion, a
burger with pulled turkey soaked in gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and
parsnip crisps. Holy Fuck it mas magical. They have another branch in St Lennard’s,
so if you do see it, go eat all the food and you will not be disappointed ... I need to go back like right now because the thought of this food is making me hungry.
I love happy weekends.
