Hotels of bed and breakfasts

Posted by Gill | General | Saturday 27 February 2010 5:43 pm

It is a frequently asked question, as to whether which of the two: hotels, or bed and breakfasts, are better. When looking at this question, it has to be asked what kind of features and entertainment the two offer, as well as surroundings and interior etc.

Hotels allow individuals a place to eat, drink, dine and relax. Every hotel has bedrooms, shower facilities, kitchens to cook foods and usually some sort of entertainment. Bed and breakfasts are more of a place to stay on a journey, offering a room, shower facilities, free breakfast in the morning and entertainment (although this would be more like television, games than stage entertainment).

Ibiza is an area home to San Antonio Bay, Spain. It is one of the, if not the biggest Island party goers travel to for non-stop fun and activities. It is also home to a great host of luscious hotels, including ‘Ibiza Rocks’ hotel.

The hotel is set in the mainstream part of San Antonio Bay, also known as the ‘West End’. The hotel is a large, white coloured building (it is also one of the biggest hotels on the bay). The entertainment at the hotel is extraordinary, playing host to the biggest artists of the current year. This is usually carried out on the way of ‘before parties’, also known as ‘pre parties’ wherein the entertainment, plus drinks and food will get under-way before the party goers head out for the events later on in the night.

Hotel’s and stars

Hotels are there to provide a service to the general public. That service is to cater for anyone whom may need some shelter, somewhere to eat, drink and socialise.
Hotel types can vary from poor conditions to excellent coniditions. The hotel types are separated by stars. One star, being the worse hotel condition, to five being the highest. The more pricey a hotel, the more it has to offer and the higher its star. This includes things such as: entertainment, staff communication, décor, bedroom’s tidyness and hygene, and it’s outdoor surroundings. All these factors help contribute to the success, or the failure of a hotel.

What makes a good English Restaurant?

Posted by Gill | General | Sunday 31 January 2010 6:47 pm

English restaurants are a peculiar type of dining. Even though they offer traditional English food, they also usually offer foreign food as well. Spanish, Italian, Mexican, American and Indian food can all be found in an English menu.

Traditional foods served at English pubs include meats and steaks, mince dishes, pies, soups and the infamous roast dinners. For breakfast, a diner can expect cereals or the worldwide known ‘English Breakfast’ (includes sausages, eggs, bacon, hash browns, mushrooms, tomato’s, beans and toast). Drinks at English restaurants usually include cups of tea and coffee, fizzy drinks and juices (apple and orange juice etc).

Veg Restaurants in the UK

In every area of dining, the type of food offered must cater for every type of diner. This includes, most importantly, a variety of different types of food on the menu (i.e. chicken dishes, beef dishes, foreign dishes etc). However, there are individuals out there who take a different view on meat dishes, and they are vegetarians.

Vegetarians take a route in life wherein they decide to stop eating meat/fish and meat/fish sauces (plus by-products of meat) and instead focus on eating vegetable dishes, as well as quorn dishes (quorn is a mushroom protein ‘meat’ substitute). This means restaurants have to cater for dishes without any traces of meat also.

What is a Restaurant?

Posted by Gill | General | Sunday 31 January 2010 6:43 pm

Restaurants are places people to go to dine in. They can be located in towns, cities – pretty much anywhere in a country. An individual can place their orders by a set menu, or a blackboard with special daily/weekly menus, although that is more common in a pub.

The types of food an individual can hope to select from vary from restaurant to restaurant, however, usually a restaurant will offer starters, main courses and deserts. Secondly, restaurants in different countries will also usually offer their own unique traditional food, although ‘foreign’ restaurants can be found in countries not of their own.

Italian restaurants are very traditional, where ever they are found. Waiters found in Italian diners usually wear very smart shirts, trousers and shoes, upholding the tradition of a smart Italian man.

Well known foods can be found in Italian Restaurants, including; pizza’s, pasta dishes, lasagne, gnocchi and various ice creams. The food there is usually exceptional as it is made my home grown chefs who have cooked Italian dishes for years. Usually , the music in Italian dining is classical, helping the diners relax whilst also upholding the traditional, calming melodies found in Italy itself (classical artists etc).

Air Hostess’s

Posted by Gill | General | Monday 30 November 2009 8:16 pm

It has always amused me that the job title “air hostess” has always been greeted with an air of austerity and envy by a lot of women.

To many It conjures up a glamorous image of the champagne sipping, high roller lifestyle jet setting with the stars, sitting on the knee of a sugar daddy whilst the ex-RAF jet fighter turned commercial jet pilot, gushes over the tannoy about “cruising altitude” in that tone that only a man trained by the stiff upper lip routine of the RAF can produce.

In fact an Airhostess is a rather boring job, based around the virtues of a waitress, but with swollen ankles, jet lag and a distinct lack of tips.. when was the last time you tipped an air hostess? think about it. My. tip? Get a different job.

Flaring

Posted by Gill | General | Monday 30 November 2009 7:57 pm

Flaring is an artform associated with bars and clubs, it is the practise of flipping bottles and cocktail shakers in an effort to impress and to catch the eye. I once shared a room with a chap who was the welsh national champion, and by god could he flair.

wether it be flipping bottles behind the back, spinning jugs on his head, or breakdancing to the Beastie boys with a full magnum balanced on his nose he never let the side down, one of he biggest showoffs i have had the pleasure of encountering, but then if you got it? why not flaunt it?
