New Seasonal Dining Room Menu

As the season changes, so does the availability of produce and so must our change menu. This year, we have sourced quality Venison from the Cefyn Estate in Denbighshire as well as Rhug Farm Organic Chicken, reportedly in common with "Le Manoir" but without the journey! These new additions accompany last years newcomers of local wild Mallard, rabbit, Partridge and Pheasant.

CHildren In Need

This year for children in need, we are planning a very exciting way of raising money. We are looking for 40 staff members to take part in the first ever Yr Styg Challenge at Cerygydriddion. We will be taking the names of staff who are willing to pay the minimal starting donation of £10, and if there are over forty people who are interested, who ever is willing to donate more to Children in Need, will be taken along.

What is Yr Styg challenge?

The most charitable people will have a place in the Cerygydriddion go kart circuit, where, they will have a 10 lap warm up, to get used to the track, after that, the action starts. Yr Styg ™ will be given the head start and everyone will be let loose shortly after him. And if he laps you, or should I say WHEN he laps you, you’re out! Or if you can survive 10 laps with him on your tail and you are in the top 5 racers, you go through to the next round. The fastest racers from across the day will compete to be the last racer standing! The day will be split into 20 racers in the morning, of which 5 will go through after 3 heats and 5 from the afternoon group of 20, of which another 5 will go into the Grande Finale!

The event is intended as a staff “thank you” and are first choice for this charity shindig, so put your names forward to your line manager as soon as you can. Transport will have to be arranged off your own backs, and be sure to bring your cameras for this fun day out. We are also looking for one budding video camera operator – volunteers please – free place, lunch and tea and coffee provided. All names to your line manager by 24^th October 2010.

Remember everyone, this is a charity event so please be generous in your donations and lets raise all the money we can.

Arts Festival

Well, its off to a fantastic start, even if I say so myself. Everyone who attended really seemed to enjoy the sparkly, canapes, the art work and performances. Rachel Hall was fantastic and as for Coastal voices, they were a revelation - what an unexpected event - the acoustics really seemed to work as well. Many thanks to Jon and Rosemary, our Chair, for her hard work and patience over the year; really hope she can sit back and enjoy the weekend.

Top Article

For those interested petrol-heads, we were graced by the presence of some serious horsepower last month when the Top Gear crew turned up and stayed with us. A great bunch of people who made some of the teams' day by giving them a run in the odd Lambo Gallardo, even if it was green - a bit obvious but who cares!! The article is at http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/top-gear-magazine-september-2010?imageNo=0 and its this months September issue.

Congratulations

The Hotels are delighted to congratulate members of the kitchen teams in passing recent food safety courses, namely level 3 in Supervising Food Safety in Catering. WELL DONE to all. We are very lucky of the experience we already have but it is fantastic to see this formally recognised by these awards. The kitchens have really applied themselves in coming to task with recent changes in food safety legislation and what is now expected in terms of paperwork and structured management. With the "Scores on the Doors" system implementation, it is essential that the hard work undertaken on a day to day basis is recognised, something that is completely different to the quality and local produce we source and present everyday.
