The Garrison Pt2

Bizarrely, whilst writing The Garrison pt1, i started to get the strangest case of deja vu. I could have sworn that i'd never been there before, but after seeing their website and trawling through my photo archive, I came across these...

Upon further brain digging, it transpired that i'd actually been a couple of years ago, for a private function. Either the place looked different back then, or someone put a bag over my head as they led me downstairs... i'll go with the latter. Far more exciting!
The room downstairs can be hired for private functions, but also hosts a Sunday Cinema Club. Imagine filling your belly with scrumptious food, a few cheeky glasses of red, then wandering downstairs to bags a comfy seat and settle in for a good movie. What Sundays are made for!




The Sunday Cinema sessions are every, erm, Sunday, @ 7pm AND it's free to diners!

Alfresco dining

When I casually told the man last week that I fancied a good fish supper, he delivered with a surprise date at A Grelha in the Docklands. This gorgeous alfresco restaurant is part of The Gun, a cute little pub with great riverside views of the O2/'Dome' and Canary Wharf (Oh I love Canary Wharf).
The restaurant offers a great Portuguese menu with fresh fish supplied from Billingsgate market around the corner.  The food was delicious but even more impressive were the blankets that they offered as the temperature dropped and dessert was served. Check out the menus here.
