Hello, everyone, At last! I hear you say, after many months of refurbishment the entire hotel will reopen fully on Monday 19 October.
The past nine months have been a significant journey for our team. Gillian and the Management Team would like to thank our loyal customers, local community and supporters for your patience and encouragement. Some of the positive comments have been overwhelming throughout the phased opening of the hotel.
To make sure we are ready, the plan is to close the hotel on Friday 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th of October for the staff to undertake training and trial services over the weekend. This will involve the staff and management with their invited guests for some food (and drink) as an appreciation of their hard work and patience over the last 9 months.
There are pre booked events this weekend that will of course be honoured. Guests of these events, booked in the restaurant and function suite areas will be more than welcome.
As mentioned once the training, stocking and organisation has been completed the Hotel will open fully on Monday 19 October at 12 o'clock. Please do not call until then to book as we still have so much work to do in advance of the opening. We do however have to say that tables in certain areas may be subject to a time limit during busy periods to ensure as many guests as possible can enjoy the food and drink on offer. This is helped with the creation of the snug for serving drinks only.
When we do open we so look forward to welcoming familiar faces and new visitors to enjoy our refreshed surroundings. No big hurrah on this day, this is what we would term a soft launch.
We will be having a launch (a big hurrah and cutting the ribbon) on Sunday 25 October, with some music and drinks, this will be at 12 o'clock and more information will be available shortly..
In the meantime I personally would like to thank you all for your continued support, sometimes I wished I had closed ๐คช However, we are glad that we managed to keep the hotel open for the community and locals. Many thanks again.
Lorraine
