This Saturday the Sands End Pub held its annual festival. I couldn't think of any other way I wanted to spend my Saturday than listening to a live band, drinking, eating and catching up with friends.

I popped by Georgie's on my way there, which was only a hop skip and a jump away from the festival.
The first thing we came to was the urban beach, a totally genus idea!!! The streets were filled with great stalls offering food, spa treatments e.g a nail bar, games, music and drinks of course. The Elemis Spa Bus was a huge success and had women queuing around the corner.
The street was teaming people and the vibe was electric with excited energy. Smiling people meeting and greeting and having a good old knees up.
Of course Pimm's was our drink of choice, grabbing a couple of jugs full our thirst was soon quenched.
Now the Sands End is famous, and I'm talking world renowned for their Scotch eggs. Crispy on the outside with runny oozing yoke in the middle, rich and delicious. They make the perfect Saturday afternoon snack.

However scotch eggs were not the only thing on offer, oh no. The sausage rolls looked extremely tempting, perfectly golden puff pastry encasing a juicy Cumberland sausage.
Of course all meals or savory eats need a sweet ending and Judes offered up some tasty treats. From nutty brownies to the perfect cupcakes and of course their ice cream (lovingly made in Hampshire, aka my home county, mummy is a massive fan).
Whilst wondering around with Miss Al Sopwith we came across a Jamaican stall. Offering a freshly squeezed sugar cane drink. First trying it raw I was intrigued.
They crushed out the sugar cane and poured the juice into my cup, along with lime, lemon and soda water and ice.
I was told to go into the pub and add a shot of dark rum. I didn't have to told twice. I love to get into the spirit of things. It was so sweet but fresh and zingy, the perfect drink for a street party.
The rain came right at the end of the day which was perfect timing...FEW. So we all rushed inside the pub to carry on our Saturday nights.
They day was a massive success and smiles were beaming all around. I think I've found a new tradition, I can't wait till next year!!!
