A Birthday Treat
Last week marked my Mum’s Birthday so it felt only right to have a girly day out (a bit of a treat for myself too!). Having booked Brooklands Hotel and Spa for the afternoon and evening, we set off around midday. Ensuring we wouldn’t be hungry before our relaxing afternoon, we decided to make a pit-stop at Fego’s Caffe in Cobham, en route. Our lunch was healthy and delicious as my Mum opted for the Mediterranean Brunch (grilled halloumi, avocado, peppers, tomato concasse, spinach and mushrooms on toasted poppy & rye sourdough, topped with a poached egg and rocket, drizzled with pesto) and I decided on the Sweet Chilli Chicken Salad which was equally as tasty! I would highly recommend popping in for breakfast or lunch if you are ever in the area but be sure to book if there are more than two of you as it’s usually very busy.
Leaving with satisfied stomachs, we headed to Brooklands Hotel and Spa which was just ten minutes down the road. On arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome and given our schedule for the afternoon/evening…exciting! Once in our robes, we made full use of the spa facilities whilst overlooking the Mercedes Benz race track which was quite something. After a few hours of pure relaxation including two treatments and a sleep in the meditation room, it was time for our afternoon tea and we were definitely ready for a sweet treat! Our afternoon tea included finger sandwiches, a selection of four sweet cakes, chocolate & blackcurrant milkshakes and homemade chocolate scones all of which we thoroughly enjoyed but only managed to finish half of what was in front of us!
All in all it was a great day of indulgence and I would definitely return, so for more information on Fego’s Caffe in Cobham, check out their website. And, if you are ever in need of an indulgent treat then Brooklands Hotel & Spa is the perfect day out.
