Date night at The Lost Boy was everything a beautiful spring evening should be. As the sun began to dip, we headed straight for their huge garden where strings of glowing festoon lights twinkled overhead, creating the dreamiest golden hour setting on a buzzing Saturday evening in late April.
There’s something so special about those first warm evenings of the season sipping sundown drinks outdoors, chatting away, and soaking up that soft spring air together in good company.
Once we’d fully embraced the alfresco vibes, it was time for dinner so we moved inside as the evening chill set in.
We started with the Puccia Bread served with garlic and basil marinated tomatoes, a delightfully light and fluffy pizza style dough balanced with a fresh and fragrant topping.
For mains I went for the chicken Caesar salad with perfectly crisp gem lettuce, a deliciously creamy dressing, and that wonderful salty tang from the anchovies and parmesan.
Meanwhile my boyfriend opted for the classic steak frites cooked medium.
Of course, no date night is complete without a cute outfit moment.
I wore my new spring/summer suedette oversized bomber jacket from Stradivarius with white jeans from Mango, paired with my brown strappy top from C’est Normal and khaki mule heels from Next.
To accessorise I added my silk neck scarf from Le Scarf, my Celine sunnies and Moncrief sage green handbag to complete the look.
Effortless, polished and so ready for spring.
The whole evening felt relaxed, romantic and simply lovely; good food, pretty surroundings and quality time together.
Honestly, the perfect springtime date night aesthetics in Surrey ❤
