There are things that every girl with a love of a pair of heels should know. One of those things is don't organise a night out in January, because snow tends to argue with heels. Snow usually wins.
This weekend however I was in a head to head with snow, as I was going on a long arranged night out in Manchester, staying over at the Premier Inn. This had been booked and arranged for months, so snow was just going to have to reach a compromise.
After a somewhat fraught journey on the bus over to Manchester, with my friend and I praying that the bus wasn't going to slide in the ice on the motorway, we finally arrived at the Premier Inn. After a much needed glass of wine after check in we were restored to happy and excited for the night ahead.
I was going to take pictures of the room but let's face it, most of us have been to or seen pictures of the rooms. Clean, spacious, comfortable bed. The usual. The only trouble we could foresee in our room was that the beds were on wheels, visions of bed dodgems on the return home came to mind.
After a recommendation from a friend, we decided that
The Alchemist was going to be our starting point as I had heard rave reviews about the cocktails, and the fact that they had a 50% off food offer was a definate bonus.
I would definately recommend going, after sharing a bottle of wine, one cocktail, a shared platter and a main course each, coming away having only spent £20.00 (including a decent tip) is a rare thing indeed.
I didn't manage to take too many photographs on the night, and none of me all dressed up, but here are a few of what I was wearing, and some of the cocktails we indulged in!
