Entering BBB is an experience in itself, with high ceilings, beautiful artwork and a fireplace to keep you toasty. The interior and Vibe of BBB makes you feel very cosy and at home.I started my night with drinks at the bars in front of one of the fireplaces with a friend of mine.
My chosen poison was a magic memory, my friend is currently moving to Manchester, so I did indeed want this night to be a memory that I can remember! The cocktail consists of Portobello road gin, gooseberry syrup, lime, prosecco. This drink is sweet to the tongue with a gin kick at the end. I didn’t know it at the time but this would be my go-to drink for the evening. If you love a sweet gin cocktail then this is a must-have!
For dinner, we headed to a secluded spot upstairs with our own personal waiter. To start my meal, I went for the drowning prawn. Which is served in a bowl of lobster bisque, tiger prawn, julienne apple, caviar. The bisque is creamy, thick and full of flavour, alongside the prawn which is completely saturated in the bisque. Although, the Caviar is a small portion, it still adds an extra crunch to the soup. However, due to this dish's creamy nature, it can become a little overwhelming to consume the entire dish.For starters, I also tried the beef carpaccio, served with rocket, parmesan, truffle oil. As I don’t eat Parmesan, I took the cheese of the rocket, however that did not deter from the dish as the beef was well seasoned and the truffle oil made the beef carpaccio a little dish of luxury.For my main, I had the fillet of beef, served with sautéed spinach, dauphinoise potato, wild mushroom jus. I haven’t tried dauphinoise potatoes before, so this was a real treat for me. Sliced potatoes baked in milk from the Dauphiné region in south-east France, the potatoes are very sweet but not too milky. I chose my beef fillet to be cooked medium-rare, making the beef melt in my mouth. If you love beef, you will love the fillet as it is very succulent and well seasoned. The wild mushrooms are a little on the tangy side but are paired well with the beef.

After dinner, we proceeded downstairs for more drinks by the fire. The magic memories cocktail definitely made my night sweeter and more exciting. Overall I enjoyed my experience at BBB, the staff are friendly and very accommodating with quick service and beautifully presented food.
