THE BEACH HOUSE AT ELVIRIA.


SUNDAY 1st MAY 2011 THE BEACH HOUSE AT ELVIRIA.


This afternoon at the Beach House for Sunday Lunch, at the request of Tim as we had taken him there on his last visit, was one of the high lights of their visit; The surprise guest’s John and Wendy had made contact with me through Facebook and Big Brian before he left for Finland. John is from Llandudno and at one time worked for Tim and Wendy is also from North Wales so we had planned to meet them in the Don Carlos but as it was closed for a wedding party we ended up down at the Beach House a little early. As we walked in Felix, Vidal’s brother, started singing my name as a welcome, he is now the resident live show at the restaurant after moving from a Bar outside Marbella; The young staff at the Beach House are very efficient and the young lady Manager runs the floor all the time so the drinks hit us and we were soon in a happy frame of mind! We ordered just a main course as the portions are large and Tim choose an excellent full bodied Rioja and a matching White to go with the meal, Brenda and I had the Rare Argentinean Rib of Beef which comes on Creamed Leeks with lots of proper Roast Potatoes and large Yorkshire Pudding together with a selection of vegetables to please even Brenda and finger licking gravy, Tim and John had the Shank of Lamb on Mash,Thea had the Sea Bass and Wendy had a Fillet of Pork dish with Rice and a sharp sauce. All delicious with the Beef the star of the Day! As the afternoon went on and place started to buzz Felix got the crowd on the way as the music livened up, it was time for the cabaret to perform, Me!! I soon had the crowd singing and dancing as all the old favorites in Felix’s style came on and a good time was had by all!! A round of drinks appeared at our table with the Manager’s compliments and a re-booking is on the cards !! One “ Helluva ”Sunday lunch.
