Roger - 13 April 2011 06:58101484Is there free coffee?Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 13 April 2011 07:17101492A long way to fly for a free coffee Marek - but probably, the Ramada and Dover Marina Hotel don't do things by halves.
Roger - 13 April 2011 08:24101503All being well will nip up to see the new Ramada revamp on friday Trevor, not sure of the time yet but will aim to get a few pictures for our frontpage. I enjoyed doing the Marina Hotel feature recently which seemed to go down well so will be there.
Good luck with it all
Happy days seeing all these new developments in and around Dover.

www.doverwarmemorialproject.org.uk - 15 April 2011 12:34101820Yes looking forward to seeing the new revamp later on today, hope to see some of you there

Will have pictures formally showing the new restaurant and the new bar later on the frontpage.email: dover7@msn.com - 16 April 2011 08:21102000They have done a superb job at the Ramada - I went there yesterday lunch time with David and was very impressed with the new layout and decoration of the restaurant and bar. Tried the food as well which was fantastic. We will certainly be going again soon. Linda
- 16 April 2011 08:25102001Next to Nigel is Gehan, the General Manager, not Rojitha.
I was invited to the lunchtime opening and was very impressed - with the new restaurant and of course the high quality food.
Had some very useful conversations with Menon, Seelan and Gehan - they are very much into helping raise Dover's profile, it will afterall, also increase the number of guests and diners there.
I will be very happy to help in that in any way I can.
The gardens are beautiful too - lots of flowers.
Well done to the Ramada.
Roger - 16 April 2011 08:39102003Thanks Roger for that info re Gehan..yes of course it is, I got the business cards mixed up here..will amend that post above now.

- 16 April 2011 10:08102014Picture spread now on frontpage. Its all looking very nice indeed up there at the Ramada. Hopefully the pictures show that. Clearly no expense spared in the revamp. Good luck to the owners once again as they have made a considerable investment in the town.
email: dover7@msn.com - 16 April 2011 12:38102036Yes, I echo all the positive comments above. The decor is Fantabulous and the food is scrumptious
The staff and management are all very pleasant and courteous so all in all The Ramada gets my top vote - 16 April 2011 15:15102065Yes can only say that it was a pleasure to have a look round the newly rvamed Ramada, would certianly recommend that people go along and sample the food and take in the surroundings
- 17 April 2011 07:18102173If we want to attract quality people to Dover, we must have a quality product and the Ramada and The Dover Marina now provide that quality product.
Working on Dover Town must now be a priority - but who pays ?
Roger
