A couple of my friends have milestone birthdays this year, and we celebrated one early by visiting Coppid Beech to enjoy music, afternoon tea, dinner, and the facilities. We were there last weeknd to enjoy an ABBA tribute act. Before this, I went to the gym and the swimming area too, but the jacuzzi was very cold. We were not too impressed with the swimming facilities.
Coppid Beech was built in the early 1990s and is located in Bracknell. The hotel is huge, and there's a night club, restaurant, bar, and pub area here.
I went with three friends, and we had a party package and shared a couple of rooms. When we arrived, we had a cocktail in the bar before our afternoon tea booking was ready.
I had a margarita.
The afternoon tea was good, and this came with a scone with clotted cream and jam, and we received a delicate lemon dessert (our favourite), a mango dessert, and a vry sweet sponge roll.
The afternoon tea also came with four afternoon tea-sized sandwiches.
After the afternoon tea, we had some drinks as one of the rooms we got was a suite room, and it included a jacuzzi bath and a separate lounge area. We headed to the pool and gym as well. I also brought a book to read, but I did not read too much as we were having fun. We then got dressed and went to dinner where we had a three course meal and half of a bottle of wine included in the party package.
I had the tomato soup to start, which I found delicious.
This was followed up with chicken and fries, and the food was delicious.
For dessert, I had an apple tart. This was good but a little too sweet for me.
I liked the presentation of my friend's vegan cheesecake dessert. She didn't have more than a bite, and I also tried it.
We did not have too long to get ready for the ABBA tribute act. We arrived just as the music started, but the place was packed so we did not get a great view. Afterwards, we went to the night club. We found the atmosphere a little bit strange so struggled to get into it.
I enjoyed dressing up. I had the 1970s look with bell bottom jeans, a 1970s bright shirt, the peace sign necklace I have owned since my first year at university, 1970s make-up look, and a gold headband.
After a sleep, which was a bit difficult with the live music until 2:00 in the morning, we had breakfast. Overall, I enjoyed the evening with my friends.
