Food, glorious food...

Quietish weekend but had two of my favouritest guests yet!!! They didn't stop raving about what they were experiencing at Pond Cottage B&B...in an intelligent way of course. Pix of what they ate are attached....real, fabulous quality ingredients making, i hope, real, fabulous menus. Kent and East Kent in particular is a foodie heaven...we are spoilt by having so many superb local food producers/suppliers. If you didn't see it check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01gflcy - Our Food shown on BBC2 last week - and understand a little about what i mean. I lived in London for 25 years and am pretty demanding when it comes to standards, quality etc regarding most things inc grub. Now when i eat in London i do tend to find myself being quite critical because of what i have got used to in 7 years in east Kent. Apart from the most amazing food this little corner of the country has so many other things to offer- stunning countryside, bleak countryside, sandy beaches, pebble beaches. History in abundance and culture overflowing...."our Tracey" (she of Emin) was also giving us a rather nice plug last week on the One Show - if you havent been before come here and visit Margate - home to the Turner Contemporary and hometown of Ms Emin. Only a stone's throw from Kent's truly boutique B&B - Little Funky places to stay very own Pond Cottage B&B.

Back from my "staycation"...at Pond Cottage! Getting ready for those spring and summer bookings. Garden looking great...boat launched...and here are some of the delights to behold if you include private dining in your stay.....

New stuff at Pond Cottage!

Fabulous and flexible midweek set up introduced! "Breakfast lite" : amazing value at £80 a night for two. A sumptuous breakfast hamper-you simply potter through to the dining room in your slippers and gown at a time to suit you, help yourself to the delights awaiting you, when you've done leave it all behind. Fresh breads, fruits,juice, local cheese and preserves, award winning cold meats,teas, coffee and even a toaster and kettle to match the decor!!! Who would have thought that A Designer ran this show... Weekend guests comments: "Wonderful place to hide away from it all! Fabulous hosts, breakfasts and we want a hot tub!
