Yesterday I had a meeting with someone I was helping with a project. We'd not met before and because neither of us have offices in our respective roles, we said we'd meet in a cafe.
By the time I arrived at the cafe, a sign said it was closed for the day. Sad.
That's the problem with some cafes, they often don't open beyond 4 or 5pm. Fortunately, it was just around the corner from The Dolphin which is a regular haunt of mine and I knew it would be open.
So we convened there, instead.
I knew it would be pretty quiet, welcoming and there would be good beer. Frankly, at that time of day beer's a better choice of refreshment for me, since any caffeine after about 2pm usually leaves me a awake well into the night.
When Penny joined me, she stuck to coffee and one of the things the Dolphin does really well is to make a good atmosphere for drinking, eating or simply getting a coffee. No matter why you're there, you're always made to feel like it matters and that you're welcome.
The Dolphin isn't remotely close to being one of my favourite pubs, but it's definitely one of my favourite haunts.
Nicely done, Rachael.
