Finding A Birthday (or anniversary) Venue - and BYO

Image
  I have used three methods for choosing a birthday venue. 1 Book a special gourmet restaurant..  Ask them what they can offer for a birthday.

Note venues you visit where you see a dessert and candle presented and hear the music or singing of happy birthday. 5 Celebrate at home and buy wines for the dates of the birthday or anniversary You could be doing this years in advance.

The family had enjoyed lunch here previously and suggested this place for a family dinner so I checked it out online.. The restaurant serves Italian favourites, Prosecco, Pizza and pasta. Not cheap - is anywhere nowadays, mybe some pubs at lunch time. De Rada is open all day until 10 pm for breakfast, lunch (sandwiches) and a la carte for dinner. First I looked at the drinks. Two kinds of Prosecco by the glass. One is extra brut which is extra dry so I made a note that I wanted the other. Both the same price. 7.25 (pounds sterling). My husband is a wine educator and was not over excited by the red wines, but conceded he might give one a try. However, I also liked the green reviver smoothie at five pounds. Maybe the smoothie as a starter. Their appetizers include olives with ham, and chicken liver parfait.  Olives. Photo by Angela La
