Don't know what impact (if any) this will have!

FFP perhaps?

Feck knows but this might get Bruce (and me) interested.

The change will also see Heathcotes, founded by lifelong Bolton fan and two-Michelin star chef Paul Heathcote, provide the catering for all of the hotel and stadia.

They have been advertising this role for a while (or should I say a large venue in the Bolton that couldn't be anywhere else have been). the parameters of the job description seemed to be incredibly specific.... rather like describing, word for word, that only somebody with say the background and experience of Paul Heathcoate will be considered for the job.

Does this mean that you and Bruce get as upset by randomly misplaced plurals as I do?

[Jez]

can the hotel play as a holding midfielder?

He did a "taster menu" lunch for the big wigs at the Reebok and from around Bolton last week! I assumed he was going to be doing the corporate catering for the club.

Didn't realise they were taking on the hotel catering too.

[Lord Kangana]

Well its a massive coincidence if not. Someone sent me the advert - as I say it was very, very specific, kind of designed to comply with open recruitment just barely enough.

Yep clearly a done deal seeing as it ties with whats just been announced.

Never eaten at the hotel (cos it was by all accounts utterly shite) that might change if they do something decent.

[coffeymagic]

This better not mean the end of my unlimited hospitality offer.

I mean, I hope everyone (especially Lucy and Debbie) who work at the hotel are being taken care of and the high standards of De Vere don't suffer now Lofty the Lion is behind reception.

I can tell you something for nothing the beans weren't Heinzes. The kids spotted that straight away. Not even Bransons (the only acceptable alternative).

It all boils down to the beans I say, If you can't get a tin of beans right what can you do? I'd strip of a Michelin Star for that alone.

Remember when the Jarvis used to be a nice hotel? We had a great meal in there one night. A couple of years back we stayed there and Jesus Christ what a rat hole.

The photos on the wall made me laugh though.

While some hotels have stunning vistas and famous portraits adorning their hotel the 'Mercure Bolton Georgian House' had pictures taken from around the vicinity.

One was of 'Burned out car on Crommy Lodges' Honest to Christ talkabout 'Welcome to Bolton' you might as well have put up one of that tennis player scratching her arse or dogs playing cards.

Still waiting for Lucy/Debbie news.

[coffeymagic]

Phew! Just got an email back from Debbie and yes their jobs are safe.

Which is the most important thing.

But hospitality is still a goer! And that's a bonus too.

Eccles cakes for all!

[enrdentw]

Good news.

Heathcote does the catering at Blackburn and PNE and it's great.

He is one of the greatest chefs in Britain and although he what be directly involved in the match day catering operation it will still be quality.

His flagship restaurant Northcote Manor and his Bistro pubs are awesome!

[mrkint]

Does this mean we can pass go now?

[Lord Kangana]

I think you'll find thats Nigel Haworth. Heathcote doesn't have his restaurant anymore.

[Lord Kangana]

Sorry, to clarify, doesn't have his starred restaurant anymore.

Of course.... Heathcote crashed and burned.

[enrdentw]

The Longridge Restaurant or his Olive Press chain...

[Lord Kangana]

Longridge. And all the above are Haworth's concerns.

[thebish]

can the hotel play as a holding midfielder?

it did play as striker once under the name Jardel.. didn't go well...

Oh what a result. I can stop taking people to Blackburn now

It's aggrieved me for some time now that the nosebag included in their CH is amongst the best (if not 'the' best) on offer and our's amongst the worst.

Very interesting point that PC1978 raises re FFP by the way. Very sneaky, but everyone else will be at it so feck 'em.
