Last Friday my husband and I went to Bournemouth to enjoy the summer Friday night firework display over Bournemouth pier. The city put on a display every Friday night throughout August and it attracts thousands of spectators along the beach front.
We went to Aruba, a restaurant located at the base of the Pier, for dinner. This restaurant is a popular destination for after work drinks, pre theatre cocktails, food, parties, and much more. Being summer and a Friday night, it was super busy, so we couldn't get a table for the restaurant menu, but we did manage to grab a seat on the balcony over looking the bay and could have the bar menu which consisted of several pizza options.
The pizzas are thin crust and have several tasty combinations to choose from, sitting on the balcony we had to order at the bar, but were served quickly and our pizza arrived within 10 minutes, we were very impressed with the speed if service on such a busy night!
The atmosphere was not conducive to a romantic meal for two, but it was great people watching! There were ladies having a girly night out, a 40th birthday party, lads starting the evening there or meeting after work, couples enjoying the view and families having meals. The music was upbeat and there was a fantastic balloon entertainer that was working the room.
This is the dog that he made for the little girl sitting near us. Very impressive and he had a large repertoire of animals and other things that he could make. He then made them into bracelets so that the receivers could still eat their meal and enjoy their new creation. He's known as Dr. Balloonman, and will 'add a twist to any occasion'! We had a delicious meal finished off with ice cream on the beach watching the fireworks- a great summer evening!
