this ferocious looking Viking with his dagger drawn was watching for interlopers last night...scared the hell out of me...although I quietly called him a drip, but only behind his back!!
The picture was taken by ColetteB
There will be pictures of real people from the event in a day or two on the frontpage when we can slot everything in.email: dover7@msn.com - 25 March 2011 12:0198632Nice picture, even if I say so myself
He looks more like Neptune to me rising from the depths. You owe me PaulB, he heard you and I had to pay him off not to stab you in the back with his Oh so sharp dagger, although one could easily have been tempted not to cough up
It was a wonderful night. - 25 March 2011 16:3298655very plesant evening spent in very Luxurious surroundings
just wonder how long did it take him to melt?? - 25 March 2011 18:4698665He melted at the very sight of us, Jan
- 25 March 2011 21:5698677i must admit i thought it was neptune although he was normally complete with a tripod.
must be something to do with coalition cuts. - 26 March 2011 00:2598684Last night was excellent, a very nice hotel, I'm looking forward to the Spa opening in the near future.
Those coalition cuts can be nasty, but not as bad as paper cuts - 26 March 2011 12:3498698Can you give us any more information on what facilities the spa will have please?
- 26 March 2011 12:3798699Not sure about the spa, but I noticed a new real ale handpump on the bar.

I have to say that unfortunately we were both very disappointed with our bar meals. - 26 March 2011 12:4898701Sue
What did you order?Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 26 March 2011 13:3698705That's a shame Sue. The menu outside looks good although at £22.50 for a small rump steak it is a bit pricey.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson

- 26 March 2011 16:0198717Marek,
I ordered the "homemade" burger and my husband had the 4 oz sirloin steak ciabatta sandwich.
I don't eat burgers out normally but thought a "homemade" one would be nice and juicy and thick. Not so - it looked like something deepfrozen - 4 for 50p! Not to be recommended at all.
My husband's steak was thin, cold, like shoe leather in an industrial ciabatta roll with some strange brown barbeque sauce on the side.
Both from the bar menu at £7.95.
Won't be eating there again unless I hear some good reports...
See you soon Peter! - 26 March 2011 16:3998727sounds like they are having teething problems.
hope they get everything right soon. - 26 March 2011 17:3298738I hope you complained and asked for a refund Sue. That doesn't seem good for future business at all. Perhaps Trevor Bond will give a response.
- 26 March 2011 17:5398745Sounds like Sue's husband had teething problems (on the steak).

If it is teething problems, as Howard suggests, your feedback will be welcomed.
- 26 March 2011 18:4298760We did tell the Restaurant Supervisor when he asked if everything was OK when he removed our plates and he said he would pass on our comments.
Usually we would have complained straight away and sent it back but we went a little easy on them as it was their first day... - 26 March 2011 18:4898762
- 26 March 2011 18:5198764may be unimportant but there were people still working in there the day before the grand opening.
all seemed very rushed, i suppose they had no choice of opening that day as they had taken bookings from people for overnight stays.
