Don't laugh at me, but I had absolutely no idea that Bubba Gump was a Forrest-Gump-themed restaurant. I'd only seen the film twice in my life, the last time of which was 10 years ago, so I didn't get the reference at all.

The decor inside is so fun, filled with Forrest Gump references and memorabilia. There's even a well-stocked shop so you can buy all the souvenirs you want. Marie is a massive fan of Forrest Gump, so she was pretty much in heaven!

The drinks menus are on ping pong bats. Such a cute idea!
When you order a speciality cocktail, you can choose a souvenir glass to take home. I went for the mason jar which has a hideously tacky goblet-style stem. It's so ugly but I absolutely love it! My cocktail was a Blue Hawaiian, which is essentially the same as a Blue Lagoon. It's absolutely delicious! Christie's, on the left, is a Pomegranate Margarita.
After a quick detour through the mini winter village in Leicester Square, we began queueing for Muppets. Unlike last year, seating was allocated and it turned out that we weren't all sitting together. We sat in a row to begin with and, remarkably, nobody turned up to claim the extra seat! Woohoo!
It's such a fun way to start the Christmas season. Same time next year, girls?
YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A FORREST GUMP THEMED RESTAURANT?
ReplyDeleteI went past this LOADS when I was up in London, camping out for The Hobbit premiere. I kept meaning to go in and buy something, yet didn't :(
ReplyDeleteIt shall be my aim next time I'm up there!
