Alesha and I found this medieval dinner theater type thing.
It was a little pricier but we thought it would be worth going to. So we called
ahead and bought tickets for that night then we planned our route using our
tube map. Well…we didn’t chose the best route…we left Russell Square and rode
the Piccadilly line 9 stops and got off at South Kensington and rode that 11
stops until we got to Tower Hill. Well that is 20 stops which equals out to a
little over an hour riding the underground…our train of thought was that we
would only have to change trains once. Anyways neither one of us brought the
directions to the dinner so we were already late and walked a mile in the wrong
direction before we realized we were going the wrong way…oops. So we power walk
our way over to St. Katherine’s Harbor and walked across this dock and found
the little hole in the wall Banquet room. So by this time we are about 30
minutes late but they hadn’t started the meal yet. We are seated in this underground
tavern type room at the end of a long table. Our server was introduced to us
and instead that we called her wench and bang our fists on the table if we
needed something. There was unlimited wine and ale at the table which is a good
start to any meal and while we waited there was live entertainment. They had a
jester who was the best juggler I have ever seen and he wasn’t hard on the
eyes. He juggled 3 pins while balancing a spinning ball on a stand that was on
his face. There was also signing and a couple amazing contortionists. The meal
was interesting…we had ground up veggie soup which we drank straight from the
bowl, a cold meat tray with questionable meats on it, a pot of chicken and frozen
apple pie. The table we were seated at consisted mostly of Australian and Canadian
citizens. One of the Canadian guys was so excited about the huge pot of chicken
they brought to the table. He exclaimed that you can’t just get a bucket of
chicken anywhere and then I reminded him about KFC…he wasn’t very amused. After
the meal was over they started playing music for everyone to dance to and not traditional
medieval music but club music..lol it was interesting. Over all it was a good
time I wish the meal was more authentic but the performers we good so it
balances out.
