We met at the Cranker at 5.30 and we scored a couple of sofas next to the fire at the back of the pub. Chad, Con, Stephen and I were there followed by Richard at about 6.30.
I had popped around to the Elephant beforehand to see if it was open - it wasn't - it was still closed.
It's Stephen's birthday today!!! Yeah! 55 years young. Chad bought Stephen 2 pairs of Star Wars socks. Very jazzy! Thank you Chad.
Stephen wanted to go to Midnight Spaghetti and so be it - his wish came true.
We had booked for 8pm but went upstairs about 7.40 as they could accommodate us earlier. Jen said she might join us, but ended up not coming.
Con and I had the Midnight Spaghetti - 6 from Con, 8.5 from me
Chad, Richard and Stephen had the Ragu (Pork and Lamb) - 8's all round.
We had lovely dense bread to start with with parmesan cheese, chillis and oil. Lovely. Richard, Stephen and I and Chad all had the truffle spuds. Delicious. Felt really full after the meal.
Chad had a hoppy beer and Con had a glass of Shiraz. Stephen had brought up his beer from downstairs. Richard had sparkling water.
We went to Steven Ter Horst for hot chocolate (Con had a capuccino). Richard had a chocolate muffin. Delicious.
Chad gave us some chocolate before we said goodbye and headed our separate ways.
