Cheap and Cheerful Cafe Bar in Bridlington. 11 of 30 April Poems.

Richies Cafe Bar on the Promenade.

That’s where we ate our lunch,

Full of happy holidaymakers

Even this early in the season

11th April 2019, to be exact.

The sun is shining, the sky is blue

The wind is blowing, it's chilly too.

After a walk on the beach,

I picked up a pebble or two.

We watched the children,

Dogs and owners as well.

Feeling cold, we headed to

The Cafe for a warm meal.

Whatever the time it is busy.

Half Cafe, half Bar

Full of people, their

Children AND Dogs.

All there under tables.

Dogs and people of all sizes

Mostly obese which made

Me wonder, then I saw the

Size of the portions.

Mountains of CHIPS

With Fish, Pie or

Whatever you fancy.

I asked for Chips

With Curry Sauce.

My husband, Lasange

With salad and chips,

For both of us more

Than we could eat.

It is exactly as I said.

Cheap and Cheerful

Also good food,

good  and happy staff,

The owner, sweeping sand

From under the tables!
