I was really impressed with the commitment to the theme. All menus were designed like treasure maps and old books, such as the amazing Anthology of Ales drinks menu. As you'd imagine, there were ample rum-based cocktails but there were also a variety of non-rum and non-alcoholic concoctions (the latter were titled "Why is the rum gone?") I settled on a Mint and Strawberry Crush which was deliciously fruity with a refreshing hint of mint and ginger.
Unfortunately the restaurant was pretty dark so I found it impossible to get a good photo of my food. A real shame as it was something spectacular! I plumped for a classic cheeseburger with chips and onion rings, and wow! The burger was perfectly juicy without being greasy and filled with flavour. It was also absolutely huge! However, the best part was the presentation- it was served in an actual barrel. I mean, the very bottom of a barrel- it would be difficult grabbing chips from a full-sized one- but a barrel nonetheless. Such a fun novelty which really made my day!
Even the receipt arrived in a secret cut-out book! It was such a great, fun restaurant but with delicious food and service to back it up. Perhaps it would be too gimmicky to have servers dressed in pirate gear and having sea shanties rather than The Lighthouse Family, but I think it would really complete the theme.
Oh and because I know at least one person will be wondering it: We got Millie colour matched at NARS where she bought Sheer Glow. I'm so proud *wipes tear*
Looks fab! Especially love how the receipt arrived. Shame not dressed as Johnny Depp though. Yay for Millie too

I remember going to Liverpool and stopping by to look inside, it looked inviting with the piratesque theme but I never managed to eat/drink in there. Maybe next time!
