We recently went for a very posh meal at Rowleys in the heart of Piccadilly. I'd never have dreamed of going there before but spied an amazing deal on Groupon. For £14, you got a voucher worth £30. To make matters even more sublime, there were no pesky conditions attached. After an ardous day of window shopping [I swear I think I bought a shower scrunchie from Bodyshop for £1] we restored ourselves with some retro cuisine, served on crisp white linen, by attentive staff in one of London's oldest restaurants.
How retro were we? Well, we shared a prawn cocktail starter, followed by the house special of char grilled entrecote steak, served with unlimited french fries. Unlimited I tell you! These were simply the best french fries I've ever tasted. They are THE BEST IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! We then shared a sticky toffee pudding, which was a veritable cloud of pleasure, swimming in a golden lake of caramel sauce.
In case you're pondering why I'm telling you this, when the coupon deal is no longer, well, it's because Groupon sometimes shoots out a gem. You simply have to sift through lots of irrelevant offers for waxing, teeth-whitening and haircuts. Having to hit the delete key many, many times was more than made up for by a great evening out.
