Sun, sea, sand and cocktails aside, eating out, in our opinion, is one of the most enjoyable aspects of being on holiday - and by out, we mean out. Outside on tables that have spilled from the restaurants, sunken into comfy chairs, beneath canopies of twinkling fairy lights. Watching the sun set and feeling the temperature cool, whilst still being comfortably warm. Bottles of cold wine in carafes, selected from laminated menus - adorned with photos of highly staged plates of food...
If there's a place near home that whisks us straight to our outdoor wining and dining haven, its Lancashire Court. A little cobbled courtyard nestled behind Bond Street's Victoria's Secret, where when perched under the warmth of the heaters (we are in London after all!) you'll find it hard to believe you haven't hopped on a plane. The clinking of champagne glasses is barely audible over the chitter chatter that fills the winding pathways! Mayfair Pizza Co. is the area's latest addition and pizza & cocktails happen to have Strawberry Sister written alllll over them...
Up the twisty staircase from the bustling bar is the main restaurant, where, in keeping with its surroundings, had a buzzy atmosphere and dimly lit cosy tables. After spending an eternity deciding which pizzas to have, before we'd had the chance to blink they had been placed under our noses, smiling up at us with oh-so-endearing pepperoni and mushroom shaped grins! No waiting for the delivery man or having to peek out the window every two minutes with a grumbling stomach here folks! We wolfed down our choices with a selection of cocktails (mostly of the pink variety - suprisingly!) and a side of crispy seasoned fries. Because we like to live by the saying... fries over guys!
Chicken and mushroom DELICIOUSNESS...
Salami, chorizo, ham, pancetta and roasted chilli! MMmmm yeah baby work that angle!
Pesto and tomato bread, because we wanted the fries to have another side to play with... (inner fat kid why do you do this to us!)
All in all, it's the perfect place for a date or to celebrate with a group of friends. OR to go with your sister and eat and drink til you can't eat or drink no more!
Pizza makes us very excitable Strawberries indeed...
