First Out café is always a good place meet a<br />
date, catch up with old friends or have a quiet<br />
coffee, read a paper or party hard! A<br />
traditionally women-friendly café/bar First<br />
Out remains very popular with the ladies!<br />
Maria has injected some fresh talent into<br />
Saturday nights keen and g3 decided to check<br />
out Bassment – a new house night with<br />
scenesters Lil’ Nat and Faye Lanson. Lil Nat<br />
was on deck duties and played a fun uplifting<br />
house set that got the girls moving early on.<br />
The very reasonably priced shots slipped<br />
down all too easily and the cocktail jugs passed<br />
over the bar all too frequently. For some, a tasty<br />
meal was the main concern and generously<br />
portioned plates carried by the lovely First<br />
Out team found their way to hungry punters.<br />
The bar thinned out towards 11 o’clock as<br />
revellers headed off to their next stops.<br />
First Out, a perfect place to start the party!<br />

Sunday 20/4<br />
There isn’t much I ask for on a<br />
Sunday, but after an exhausting<br />
weekend, sometimes all you want<br />
is some wholesome home-cooked<br />
food, just like your mum used to<br />
make. Fortunately, I found Blush –<br />
the perfect Sunday haven.<br />
There are three choices on<br />
the Sunday roast menu: chicken,<br />
lamb or vegetarian Quorn at<br />
£6.95, followed by a desert of<br />
chocolate gateaux at £2.95. Whilst<br />
waiting for your roast you can<br />
browse through a selection of<br />
reading material or admire<br />
the artwork hanging on the walls,<br />
whilst listening to the free juke box.<br />
A hearty plateful is served with<br />
Yorkshire puds, roast potatoes,<br />
mashed carrot and swede, Savoy<br />
cabbage and peas. Although I was<br />
almost stuffed, I had just enough<br />
room for a (very large) slice of<br />
chocolate cake! Blush also has a<br />
very stylish downstairs chill-out<br />
area, with pool table and seating,<br />
perfect for letting your lunch settle<br />
and, if the weather’s nice, there’s a<br />
beer garden too.
