Birthday | Emily's 16th

So the other day was Emilys' 16th birthday and I decided to take her out to Tower Park in Poole. For those of you who have never been to Tower Park it consist of a wide range of entertainments such as, Splashdown water park, Bingo, Kids soft play, Empire cinema and a range of restaurants.

Frankie & Benny's

Lunch

So before I met Emily for her birthday, I went and had lunch with my friend Hayley and her daughter in Frankie and Bennys.

Kids Meal

Kids meals are available for children up to the age of 11 all starting from £4.25. The deals consist of a main course, a dessert and refillable soft drinks. All the childrens' meals come with an optional side of veg, salad or beans. As well as a fun activity pack with games and puzzles

Hayleys daughter had a kids Beef Burger meal, which is a 4oz* burger served in a sesame bun with a choice of fries, mash potato or a jacket potato, veg, beans or salad. She chose chips and peas, with a fruit shoot apple juice. And for dessert she chose the Ice cream Sundae, this is two scoops of either Vanilla, Chocolate or Strawberry ice cream. The Sundae is topped with chocolate sauce and Milkybar Buttons.

We got this meal free as Hayley was previously given a "Kids eat free" Voucher.

Adult Meals

Frankie and Bennys is a New York Italian  Restaurant Bar which main meals include Spaghetti, Pizzas, Chicken, BBQ Ribs, Burgers and much more.

Hayley chose a Carbonara. This is described as an "Italian Classic!". It is a choice of your pasta, tossed with pancetta bacon, Sautéed mushrooms in a creamy sauce. (Extra chicken can be added for £1.50)

This meal costs £9.95

As I wasn't feeling too hungry, I decided to have a side as a meal. For my side I chose cheese and bacon fries for £4.25 This is a bowl of chips with cut up bacon and melted spicy cheese on top.

Beer and cider range from £3.45 - £4.95

Coffees range from £2.15 - £4.45

Soft drinks range from £2.55 - £3.95

All shakes are £3.95

Nandos

Desserts

So I met Emily straight after Lunch and we went to Tescos to get her a badge for her to wear around Tower Park, we also went to a sweet shop to get her a massive lolly pop as her Birthday present. We then decided to go to Nandos for some Ice cream. We both chose Gelado which is described as Nando's twist on ice cream. Light, creamy and dangerously moreish. This ice cream costs £2.95 each and comes in Strawberries & cream, Vanilla, Chocolate, Passion fruit and Toffee. As I brought the ice cream I used my student discount card which got us over £1 off the total price. I chose the Chocolate Flavour ice cream which to me tasted sooo goood!! It was really creamy and was just the right amount. Emily chose the Vanilla which she said was really nice too. I love the the font that is used on the ice cream tub pots and I like the logo on the napkin and that its served face up on the plate tucked under the ice cream pot. When the ice cream was brought out it had a easy peel lid on it which I thought was quirky.

TGI Fridays

As I knew that TGI Fridays sing Happy Birthday if you ask, I dragged Emily in and brought a cake with me and candles which I brought at Tesco's. They kindly brought it out to us on a plate with the candles lit and the girls crowded the table all singing Happy Birthday. Mean while I recorded on both our phones as a memory. Then then they kindly gave us a knife and plate so we could eat some cake there. We also got some drinks, Emily got a Pepsi and I got an Orange Juice as I have a little bit of an addiction to Orange Juice and Ice through a straw...

Cinema

We went to Empire Cinema to watch Dawn of the planets of the apes which is the second film of the Planet of the apes. IMDb describe the plot as "10 years after a disease that spread around the globe, Apes who have survived the disease go head-to-head with a group of human survivors and a traitor who is hell bent on destroying humans and apes, triggering the unbalanced war for peace". This film is really good and had me sitting on edge from time to time. Yet parts of it was kinda predictable mainly due to changes of music, and one predictable character.
