The Farmhouse

Coventry

215 Beechwood Avenue, Coventry, West Midlands CV5 6HB

So for work myself and my colleague had to plan the christmas lunch for everyone. You all know I am not picky, Rachel loves food ha, but obviously I had to think of something that would be suitable and enjoyable for everyone. I remember taking a trip to farmhouse previously and thinking that it had a great atmosphere and really nice food! So yeah it was basically a no brainer and my colleague had the same idea so we knew we had a winner.
Obviously with christmas round the corner everyone is feeling the festive spirit. I had booked the table in advance and had no issues when it came to getting there. No waiting and no blabber about double bookings etc. Bless them they contacted my like twice to reconfirm everything before and on the day so that was reassuring too.

I guess I've got a bit of a trend going on because this too was a restaurant that serves Indian and english cuisine so there was a bit of everything for everyone loooovely.
Previously I had some of the english cuisine so this time I tried the Indian cuisine, y'all know I don't always get a chance to have a curry (unless I cook it myself)
All in all it was really nice crackers on the table and everything. The team loved it I loved it so it was all smiles and fun (especially with the cocktails and flirting haaha)



 
Top image: Steak with onion rings, salad and chips. They are really generous with their portions which will always make a person happy. It always appears like it won't fill you up but in all honesty the guys were more than satisfied. I went for my dish which funny enough was really similar to the one sam had in my previous post http://insideherbox.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/five-rivers.html but it was amazing. The second image is the food that initially came I was like erm where's the rest then it arrived I was like awesome! Their naan was so soft I couldn't stop picking at it even when I was full. So good and so filling I had to take some home.
 Obviously enjoying the festivities I had a mojito and cosmopolitan to wash it all down. their mojitos pack a nice punch honestly.
Below: Oreo cheesecake & Above: Brownie surprise


Mmmmmm dessert. Honestly I'm not one that can usually fit a dessert in after a meal. Technically I didn't finish mine so after unbuttoning the trousers and resting for a bit I had some room ha. I stuck with my usual preference of cheesecake; it was really light for something that's chocolatey. Below that is the brownie surprise which I didn't have but hey it looked awesome.

And so out of 5;
Food: 4/5
