Options and opions....

It's time to decide what to do with this. I think that rather than a daily blog, which I didn't get into the habit of, it's best that this becomes a repository for my thoughts on pubs, restauarnts and hotels of places I go on business. Where possible, I'll show you photos, but don't bank on that.

So, to get us started....

Spent a night in Worcester, staying at the Fownes Hotel. It's in the middle of town, and I stay there a lot. The hotel used to be a glove factory and has been converted into a hotel, sometime in the 80's I think. I've never eaten dinner there, but breakfast is ok, good selection of juices, fruit and cereals. The fat boy option is also good, with additions of black pudding and hash browns! Staff are young and can hardly say two words to you. Always look bored and often a tad scruffy. The rooms are in need of updating, but are usually a reasonable size. The heating can be very hot and can also make the odd noise. The tv does have satellite tv, but it's restricted to Sky news and sky sports news, not sky sports itself (most annoying!!!!). The bathrooms are not great, the shower heads are too low and they are a bit institutioanl. Overall, it;s not bad value for money and it's right in town close to the decent pubs and restaturants.

Ate at Chimichanga last night. Mexican place on one of the main streets. It looks great, nice decor and the staff were pretty good. We actually tried to get into the other Mexican we like (Chesters) but it was full. This place we suspected didn't make all the stuff onsite. For example, my jalepeno peppers filled with cream cheese were out of a packet, but tasted pretty good. Chicken Burrito was decent, nice rice and black beans and not too expensive (was under a tenner). The beer selection was poor, with only three bottled beers and no draft, but it was well presented in an iced glass. Was under £24 a head, all had starters and 2 drinks. Overall feeling - was ok, would go back but only if Chesters was full. I'll write it up next time we go there. Tonight is a trip to Malvern and a curry....
