For dessert (and because our feet needed a break) we got a Bread Ahead Doughnut and a coffee from Monmouth coffee. We were lucky enough to get a seat in the small coffee shop.
We had previously tried Bread Ahead's popular Sea Salt Caramel Honeycomb doughnut so this time we went for the chocolate ganache flavour with cacao nibs on top.
I would definitely have to say the caramel one is a lot better as the chocolate ganache did not have a very strong flavour. Then again maybe it is so the doughnut is not so heavy but as we were sharing it could have done with more flavour.
The cappuccino I had was of course as amazing as one would expect from Monmouth Coffee with a queue always out of the door. Bear in mind they do not have skimmed milk on offer but so not let this or the queue stop you from ordering a coffee here!
From Borough Market we walked to Swingers Golf Bar which is situated right next to the Gherkin.
There are a lot of cool pop up food joints at the bar including Pizza Pilgrims, Patty&Bun and Le Bab. Unfortunately we had just eaten so stepped straight onto the course to begin our mini golf session.
There are "Caddies" on the golf course to fetch drinks for you as you play so we gladly ordered a glass of rose for me and a bottle of Corona for boy.
The nine holes went faster than expected. On the eighth hole, my amazing skill (luck) landed me a hole in one and with it a free shot of limoncello which was downed eagerly.
After finishing our round we moved upstairs to the bar.
We ordered two cocktails from their extensive cocktail menu.
The cocktail in the champagne glass is "The Albatross" which was Cordon Rosado Cava, pear saffron puree and cassis.
The cocktail on the left is a "Clover Club" which was Tanqueray No.TEN, Noily Prat Vermouth, fresh raspberries, lemon and egg whites.
As you can see from the photos I drank most of the "Clover Club" as it was definitely the better, and sweeter, of the two.
