The Weekend

Lately, I have been living a sort of TGIF life. Luckily enough, life is going pretty quickly at the moment so it seems like each weekend is coming round quicker than the next. Last weekend, I ventured into London from the far away land that is Surrey to see some friends.

On Saturday, I met two lovely ladies who I know from work - Josie and Joanna for lunch at Burger & Lobster - a place that has definitely been sufficiently blogged about in it's time.

Joanna and I went for the lobster roll and Josie went for the lobster. I feel like choosing a burger here would be a bit of an idiot move as every option on the menu is £20. Actually, when I say every option on the menu I can't actually say that as there isn't a menu - something that does get a little annoying as the waitress rattles off the dessert options with a heavy accent.

All options come with chips and a salad, plus a garlic sauce which eventually ended up being poured on my chips - apologies to anyone that I spoke to post meal.

The food was good but I wouldn't rush back. We didn't have to wait at all for a table but if we'd had to (which I think is quite often the case) it wouldn't have been worth the wait. The lobster roll was tasty, the food came quickly and there was a good atmosphere but it wasn't something I'd crave and want again soon. It seemed that the majority of people there (including myself) were more interested in getting the best Instagram possible of either a birds eye view of their food or a group shot of themselves and their friends wearing the obligatory plastic bibs you're given when you order.

Now onto the good bit - the company! Meet Joanna (Jo) and Josie...

These beautiful girls made my weekend - it's so important to make plans with friends. We all get busy and the weekends go by quicker and quicker each month, but put that date in the diary and stick to it. There's nothing quite like cry laughing with a friend or filling her in on the latest "scandalous" story. Don't take your friends for granted, show them the love and book in something fun to do soon!
