The Boathouse

This meal was one of the most expensive meals I have ever had, not to say it wasn’t good, but on a bang for buck basis it was pretty poor to be honest. For an entree and mains (2 course meal) to cost this much was quite frankly incredible. Okay, there was a fish pie in the middle somewhere too so maybe 3 course meal then. At least the experience was quite pleasant! Service was snappy and good, food was also very good.

Still trying out the new 2.8 lens, here are some of the things we ate for Anthony’s birthday luncheon by the river (all from the camera, cropped to fit but no processing because I recently sold my computer and now using work computer to post):
