What did you get up to?
A friend and I visited the Blue Boar in Alcester. The place itself was set in a rural location and was a traditional pub with separate dining area, although we chose to eat in the bar. A great selection of options on the menu, with a value to spend on food only. The food was really tasty and we got really robust portions. Unfortunately, we were served the main meal before the starters, which wasn't ideal but it was handled with good customer service and the problem rectified asap. Would certainly eat there again; not only was the food good but the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly.
What did you enjoy the most?
The food was certainly the winner. I chose the Blue Boar Platter that had an abundance of meats and fish, along with salad and a gorgeous mini loaf of bread. I even loved the Chorizo which I always thought I hated. My friend opted for the Tempura Prawns and chips which looked amazing. She wouldn't let me try them, unfortunately, but she said they were bang-on. The oldie worldy atmosphere was great, a really relaxed environment made the meal so enjoyable. Also, the toilets were beautiful; you can judge a lot by how the toilets are in an establishment.
What did you get up to?
I took my boyfriend to visit the Chequers of Orwell near Cambridge to use our voucher. We arrived early to the venue and were greeted by friendly staff. Even though the staff kindly offered to seat us at our table early, we decided to buy a drink and sit in the outside area for a little bit first where we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.
When we were ready the staff showed us to our table and gave us their set menu. I handed them our voucher, and they knew exactly what they were talking about and told us we could choose between having a starter and main, or a main and dessert included with our voucher - we opted for the starter and main as they stood out to us. For our starters I enjoyed the Vegetables Tempura, and Tyler had the Salt & Pepper Squid and King Prawns - as a vegetarian I usually end up having the same food options at pubs, so it was nice to be offered something different, and it was absolutely delicious. For the main course, I chose the Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli and Tyler had the Curry of the Day, which was a Thai Curry. As they make all their food fresh, they were able to tailor it to our desired taste and made Tyler's curry hotter for him - which when he tried it, he said it was perfect.
We were both quite full but had a look at the dessert menu anyway, they all sounded so yummy that we decided we had to purchase one each. I had the Cappuccino Crème Brulee which was gorgeous, and Tyler had the Peacan Tart which was also delicious. Both desserts were beautifully presented, as was all our food.
Overall, this was a great experience, and I would recommend you try this location.
What did you enjoy the most?
My favourite part was the dessert, I am not usually a dessert person, but I was blown away by how good the Cappuccino Crème Brulee was and would definitely go back for more.

Underwhelming!
This was a big birthday gift. To say it was underwhelming is an understatement. The original experience, afternoon tea canal trip wasn't available, even though I was asked to submit three dates and times. The second option a restaurant meal was also withdrawn, so The Trafford Hall Hotel was the only nearest venue to where we live. It offered no atmosphere, poor service and substandard food. Would definitely not recommend this service, and my friends certainly won't. Couldn't contact anyone at Activity Superstore to ask for assistance.
