Last week it would have been John Lennon’s birthday. I have always admired his work before his untimely death and his love of early Rock’n'Roll is obvious in his music, especially when he covered Ben E King’s classic, Stand By Me. I think that The Beatles are as big a brand name worldwide as Microsoaft and Coca Cola with their influence reaching far and wide.

The brand name of The Carreg will be changing shortly, to better provide a service more in line with what people require in these changing times. We have purchased the domain name ‘live life simply’ and we will operate The Carreg, I dream of surfing, Boutique Suites, Eco eco, Tranqullity Garden, Pink Ribbon and the forthcoming Carreg Organic Holidays under the same banner. There will be an adjustment process so please ‘stand by me’ whilst these essential changes happen.

Have a fabulous week.

Last night we had a really fun time. Long time Carregular, Erin celebrated her 18th Birthday by taking over the entire restaurant, Courtyard and Tranquillity Garden and wearing her favourite Spiderman dress! She looked fantastic, the food was fantastic, the marquee was fantastic, the place was fantastic. Fantastic four times? Maybe a Fantastic Four dress would have worked too!

There is no party like a Carreg party! If you want to know more about events at The carreg, please ring us on 01834 862990 or e-mail us on info@livelifesimply.co.uk.

Have a fantastic Bank holiday weekend! We will be open mostly all of it!

Summer is almost over and the nights are already drawing in.

In order to keep everyone happy and smiley throughout the cold winter months, we will sometimes have parties, theme nights, music, special offers and exclusive promotions at The Carreg. If you are thinking of visiting us over the winter, please leave your details in the comment box below and we can make sure you are invited.

If you break The Carreg like you would a stick of rock, it would have Excellence running through it. If, for any reason, you think this hasn’t been achieved, please tell us so. Either by completing a critique card, telephoning and asking for me or by sending an e-mail. Our aim is to have 100% of our clientele 100% each and every experience.

Take Care

This is me and my friend Kyle, earlier today. We are both smiling as it was nice to see each other because we are good friends, have the same interests and generally enjoy each others company. The reason we met earlier today was to attend a joyous, celebration service and funeral for her younger sister Cerys. Cerys suffered leukaemia and died last week when she was just 19 years old.

I felt privileged to be included in this celebration of Cerys’ life. I was constantly aware of what a lucky person I am. My thoughts and prayers go out to Cerys’ family.

Our Pink Ribbon Fundraiser was set up to raise funds to combat cancer, and we will continue with this scheme until this dark shadow over society is no more. Please watch this space about our next efforts and make every effort to help and support in this cause.

The Carreg’s uniqueness is a combination of quality dining in a beautiful building with superior service in a High Street setting. My New Menu will be on the blog later on this week and, be assured, that it is an eye opener. I have worked with some first class people with quality ingrediants to ensure that this Menu will please all.

Weekdays we are doing ‘kids eat free’ between 6.30 and 7.30 from a special menu. We are also holding a special quiz where the best little one each month can win a prize for their Mum and Dad. Please ask your server for details.

I look forward to greeting you at The Carreg soon.

Cheers!

Banana Milk Pancake is a tradition which came down from Scotland last year. On Tuesday Evening, 27th July, we are celebrating by having a party in The Carreg with great food and superb, original music from the ever-so-talented and utterly brilliant, Jonski.

Conicidentally, Hannah Kirk Patrick (see what I rhymed cleverly with??) is returning to Scotland on Wednesday. If you have met Hannah (Banana) Kirk (Milk) Patrick (Pancake) you know what a vital role she has played in The Carreg the time she has been here. Please call by to give her a great send off.

Food, Fun and Festivities start at 7pm.

Quite simply, we want to be able to host weddings at The Carreg. We could arrange a fantastic day starting with a stay in our boutique suites and our forthcoming roundhouse accommodation. Then the ceremony in The Carreg with a sumptuous feast to round it off. Strawberries and champagne cocktails in the Tranquillity Garden in the afternoon with a party in the restaurant or barbeque in the Courtyard to start the evening party off, with dancing in The Courtyard, with the assurance of our full attention to the finest detail.

If this is of interest to you, please get in touch and we will make your special day beautiful.

We are holding a kayak fishing trip on 1st July to celebrate fishweek, barbequing our catch afterwards. If you fancy being part of this unique experience, please contact The Carreg on 01834 862990 for further details.
