Six months ago talk started about where I would like to spend my birthday lunch. I spent my 30th at the Chewton Glen and so I wanted this one to be as special with memories that would last a decade also. I knew straight away it was going to be The Pig at Brockenhurst, I had heard so many good things and with a 3 month waiting list for a table/room I knew this was the place for our lunch!
The drive over, through the New Forest, is gorgeous and when you turn into the driveway for the hotel your magical adventure begins - it is STUNNING.
Here is what I wore
Coated Skimmy Jeans - Oasis
Shirt - H&M
Necklace - Avenue 57
Shoes - TK Maxx
The restaurant (check out the tacky balloons my mother brought with her!) and my cheeky little one who had found a conker whilst in the grounds.
This speaks for itself - it was ALL amazing. The first pic is what I ate for main - pigs cheek with the teeth still in situ - I won't gross you out with a close up but let me tell you this ... it was DIVINE.
My best friend in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD who made a surprise entrance. Last but by no means least - my husband!
It was one of the best days of my life. Family and friends surrounding me whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the last of the 40th celebrations (UK). Now onto to LA, bring it on!

Ah sounds amazing! We've just had one of my daughters 21st birthdays so I know how important it is to really celebrate these milestone birthdays, the memories last forever and you have had some amazing times. Not sure I could eat that meat with the teeth in and I eat anything but it does all look good xx
ReplyDeleteI didn't appreciate how important it is to have a memorable big birthday until my 30th. Your daughter will remember hers for years ahead I'm sure.
DeleteI was a little apprehensive about the teeth but the meat on top was just so delicious.
Chewton Glen is absolutely amazing! If I get to go there again I will definitely try the Pig during my stay, looks and sounds fabulous. You've definitely celebrated your 40th in style, glad you had a lovely day :-)
ReplyDeleteYou can stay at The Pig - I'm saving pennies so we can go again! We all love to drink so it does rack the bill up into the 100s of pounds!
DeleteSounds like such a fab day (super ace even!!!!!) and you look wonderful Really love the skinnies and shoes. Happy birthday (again!!) ... can't wait to hear what you get up to in LA x
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit Fiona & you're certainly having some wonderful 40th celebrations.....wouldn't be brave enough to order the pigs cheek though, think this would have be the final push I'd need to turn vegetarian if I'd have had that, you're braver than me ;-) x
