An email to the Ramada

Sep 19, 2016 17:39

I have had a follow-up email from the Ramada, asking how it all went. I need to reply in the next few days, and it would be really useful to have comments I could quote when I do so. You could either post a comment here or email me at gillDOTothenATgmailDOTcom.

The main problem area was the banquet where parts of courses were missing - so soup with no blue cheese dressing or bread rolls, and so on, and some of the chicken portions were still very pink inside which, we are taught, is not safe in poultry. The risotto seemed to be the only alternative to the chicken, and was very, very, stodgy. The strawberry gateau was very ordinary - just about defrosted, and rather dry. The cheesecake looked nice but there seemed to only be 4 or 5 portions. Having said that, the chicken terrine was excellent - I ended up with a tasty meal consisting of couscous*, peppers, olives and chicken terrine - I had some of the risotto but gave up on it! But this basically means my banquet was the starter. *without haloumi - it arrived later!

The bedroom was fine, and the seating in the public areas is comfortable. Everywhere is clean, the staff were all friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, and the food at lunchtime was also good (although I am aware that some people's warm sandwiches weren't warm).

I'd second everything Voirrey has said. Aside from the issues with the food on the Saturday night everything else was fine. Yes, the food and drinks were pricey but I think that's going to be the same in any hotel really ( ... )
