Just Teddy - Simply Awesome

This was our second visit to Just Teddy, in Hyde Park Corner. The first visit resulted from us simply walking past, and being seduced by the name, decor and delicacies on display. To be fair though, we had already been introduced on social media. The intention was to sample from the selection of patisseries, but we were seduced by the trays gliding past us on the way to delighted patrons. I chose the Le Hot Dog - Delicious, and I was not disappointed. My wife chose the Fish and Chips which was equally tasty and was accompanied by homemade tartar sauce, which I promptly helped myself to. We were so impressed that, when it came to dining out to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary, the choice of restaurant was easy. This time, we were shown a lovely table by our waitress, Thandi. We chose the Danie JNR. Chenin Blanc which was masterfully opened (a proper cork bottle - pleasantly surprising for an entry-level price) by Thandi and correctly presented for a pre-taste. I chose the Prawn & Chorizo Pasta and was overjoyed by the flavours and the generous portion, as well as the abundance of prawn and chorizo. My wife was so in love with the Fish and Chips that she ordered the same again. I stole some more tartar sauce.... We mentioned in a casual discussion with Thandi, that it was our 40th Anniversary. She disappeared and swiftly presented us with a cupcake and sparklers. For dessert, we both had Baked Alaska, both presented with sparklers - scrumptious, but we couldn't finish them. Thandi whisked our plates away and returned with the leftovers in a beautifully gift-wrapped box! We were pleasantly surprised by an external freelance Thai Massage The******, who offered a 10-minute neck and shoulder massage while we waited for our meals. My wife was coincidentally, experiencing severe neck pain at the time, so we gleefully accepted. She loved it so much that she requested a second session a little later, a session which the the****** refused to accept payment for. She was extremely professional and pleasant to talk to. My wife got a hug and some touching spiritual advice, and I got a very firm handshake. Overall, a thoroughly pleasing experience. We were especially impressed by the outstanding service we received from Thandi. She made a very special celebration, a moment to cherish and remember.
