I forgot to mention that Roland will be playing in the lounge bar.
The Grand Hotel has hosted some great nights of live music over the last year.
Thanks to everybody who came, sorry it was standing room only for the latecomers, you'll have to get there earlier next time!
This was the first event in my newly-founded series 'A Treat For Your Ears' and was so well attended by many people from outside Swanage as well.
Roland Chadwick was absolutely superb and showed his undisputed mastery of three different guitars and played some wild mandolin too!
Thanks to everybody too who treated my 30-minute interlude of piano background music to the same rapt attention and appreciation.
More on the way! Keep a look-out for the adverts in the Swanage Advertiser for What's On at the Grand Hotel, or contact me on s.darrington@btopenworld.com or by phone on 01929 422338.
This is obviously very subjective, but for “good”, think – I cooked this and IT'S GOOD!
Naturally, I think I'm a good cook.
Swanage
The Trat – good, a bit pricey, but not enough to stop me eating there again.
The Chinese in the middle of town – OK, consistent, and reasonably priced.
The Wok Chef – I've only used it once!
The Indian in Herston – was very good, but seems to have gone off a bit.
The Indian in the centre of town was naff. I've been told that it's improved
The Fish Plaice – naff
The chippie on the sea front – next to the Fish Plaice – good chips, OK fish
The chippie in Herston – was the best, but under new ownership I've been told that it's not so good.
Bere Regis
The pub in the centre of the village – good and not expensive.
The New Forest
The Old Inn – solid, good food, well presented, well priced.
The Rockingham Arms – good food, good price.
Crewkerne
The Travellers Rest – good food, well presented, fantastic value – terrible décor!
Piddletrenthyde
The European Arms – or Inn – fantastic food, price OK, and fantastically well presented – if you get my drift!
Ansty
The Fox – good food, beautifully cooked, overpriced.
That village just outside Mere
Good food, well priced and fantastically well presented!
That place in France.
Superb food, well presented, CHEAP.
A friend who has eaten at The Ivy said that it was nearly as good, but it cost us £40 per head rather than £100.
Says it all really!
Sorry about that!
