This has to be some of the best food I ever tasted in entire my life! Do you do takeaway at all? I could stock up on my next visit for those occasions when you really can’t muster up the energy to cook. Or you could do a hamper for the freezer & I could give it to Mom as a C (can’t say the word, too early) present, for her freezer. Ooh you’d make a killing!!!! Anyway back to my review. As usual MrDW had the pie ‘’He ate all the pies ... ‘’. I know I sang that one before. I had my usual chilli, with chips, & garlic bread, oooh to die for!!!! This visit was a bit lively as we were later than usual, there was a fair few office staff in. Some sitting quietly discussing colleagues that weren’t there, miow! Boy F whose every other word was F, so not much convo going on with him. Then there was the biz meeting in the corner, where mature man talked louder than Boy F, so that shut Boy F up. So quite an entertaining visit in all, & it saves me repeating where the chip chop used to be 40+ years ago to MrDW ... That is the chip shop where I got the pot of tea for 10p for the market traders. See you again soon ;-)

In trying to find a way to make my Dad's 'lockdown' 60th birthday as special as it should be, I decided to order an Afternoon Tea treat for him & my Mum to enjoy together on the day.
I have not been to Pigeon Parlour myself before but my Mum has (which she thoroughly enjoyed, I must add!) and she had heard that they were currently offering a takeaway/delivery service.
I contacted Pigeon Parlour via their Facebook page to enquire and asked for a callback the next day after 4pm. They acknowledged my message soon after and I received a prompt call just after 4pm the following day to place my order.
They kindly talked me through a selection of different sandwich fillings, etc. to suit my Mum & Dad's preferences, took payment over the phone & even made the surprise delivery, free of charge, directly to my Dad on his birthday (as they are so local).
The surprise treat was very well-received, arriving exactly on time & beautifully presented with ribbons and a personalised birthday message. Dad especially loved his '60' shaped sandwiches & complementary candle for him to blow out :-) It is safe to say that it all went down a treat!
Thank you for helping to make my Dad's 'big' birthday still feel like a special day, given the current circumstances. I, for one, will certainly be paying a visit to the parlour as soon as you are allowed to open!
