Last night I got all fancied up after work and went on a "fancy" date with my boyfriend (feels a little weird typing that after being single for such a long time)
We aren't going to see each other over the Christmas period as i'll be heading back to The North to spend some quality time with my family and some of my besties!
So we decided to go out for a nice meal, rather than our usual chain-restaurant dining. He asked me to pick the restaurant, he's happy to eat anywhere, and I've been lusting over pictures of food at 222 for a long time! So off we went to 222.
We decided to get dressed up, its always nice to be a little fancy. Not going to lie, I can't help but love a boy in a shirt and trousers. I wore one of my fave little black dresses and felt fabulous!
Now the bit you've all been waiting for....the FOOD!!
We shared a starter:
"Warm organic wholemeal pitta bread with a selection of dips: hummus, pimento and avocado."
The Pimento was delicious! Something i don't think I've had before!
For mains he had "Bens Special" with Rice, seitan and with Medium spice, his only mention was that he would have liked it spicier, but that's all personal preference. He did say it was delicious.
"In-house special stir-fry with either organic brown basmati rice or organic wheat-free noodles. Prepared with seasonal vegetables and your choice of seitan or marinated tofu (additional option of oyster mushroom with the wheat-free noodles). Prepared mild, medium or spicy to your taste."
I was torn, there were so many amazing sounding dishes on the menu, and of course I'd been perusing it all day!
I went for the Seitan Stroganoff....and it was lush! Crispy bits of seitan in a delicious creamy sauce!
"This deliciously creamy dish with seitan strips, caramelised onions, fresh herbs and pepper cubes in cashew cream is served with organic brown basmati rice."
Now, I've been dieting for the best part of this year, and the last few months have been 60% on plan and 40% way off plan, but its ok, I've still maintained my stone loss.
I've gotten really good at saying no when the host asks if I want to look at the desert menu, but its harder to say no when everything is vegan!!
Plus i'd already seen the words, Chocolate Gateau!!!
IT WAS HEAVENLY!!
Super rich, if you don't like rich chocolate cake, we cannot be friends!! The vanilla Ice-Cream was lush too!
The service was a good pace, we had enough time after being seated to look at the menu and decide while catching up. Ordered drinks and our food, and it came before either of us had noticed we'd been waiting long, the presentation was lovely, especially the desert with the little message written in sauce.
I will 100% be going back to the venue again to try some of the other amazing looking items on the menu.
Thanks for reading
