I hardly ever make it to any ‘blogger events’ so I was delighted that I could make it to lunch at Benugo’s last week to try out their new Christmas menu…
My office is pretty much next door to John Lewis but I’d not checked out Benugo’s before, luckily the event was sandwiched between two of my meetings…
I arrived to a lovely selection of sandwiches. I say sandwiches but really they were more like wraps, mini baguettes etc. Posh sandwiches!
I tried:
-Roast beef (rare) and horseradish sauce
– chicken and avocado (with a little kick)
– middle Eastern mezze wrap, (with hummus, falafels etc)
ALL were delicious! (And I think the latter two are available all-year round) Really tasty, flavoursome and good quality. I think they had a festive turkey, bacon and cranberry baguette on the menu but I was a bit late and missed out on that!
These were washed down with a glass of fizz and mulled wine 🙂 I only had a few sips of each as I had to go back to work, but it was a nice treat to have them both! My first mulled wine of the year… smelled and tasted like Christmas in a cup!
And to cap off a wonderful hour, we were given Christmas scones which contained cranberry, orange and cinnamon.
Again: delicious!!
Before I knew it, it was time to head back to work, but what a magical hour I had! Was lovely to meet John Lewis’ Ruth and local bloggers KellyAllenWriter and NuggetStumpBlog.
I will definitely be back for lunch! Thanks for having me Benugo’s!
Disclosure: I was given a free lunch but wasn’t asked/paid for a review 🙂
