The time flies by when you have fun
It have now been 26 days since we first arrived here. The time just flies by and it is wonderful to be here. We have taken care of some parties, carveies and service. Every sunday we have a lunch carvery when we need to ensure that new food coming out all the time.
Lunch carvery - every sunday.
The food is very classic here. It is classical Welsh and British cuisine like surf and turf (a dish with king prawns and ribeye), yorkshire pudding (it is a pancake mixture cooked in the oven with oil so it gets nice and fluffy), steak pies with chips, fish and chips and rostbeef.
Some straters we have here - prawns cocktail, chicken liver parfait, baked field muchroom glaced with a onion jam and goat cheese, soup of the day, different varieties of sandwiches and mussles.
The desserts are also classics. Here they have cheesecakes, chocolate tryffles, tiramisu, panacotta, bara bread and butter puddings (a local dessert that is pudding with a special welsh bread with fruits and nuts), apple crumble, chocolate tarts, baileys white chocolate mousse, pavlova (meringue with strawberries and whipped cream) and raspberry brulée.
The kitchen is very small, it is small places to work on. It is a shame because when we have many orders, there is not much room for all plates. But it works and it is nice with a small kitchen because then you easily can find everything.
Kind regards,
Niklas och Mikaela
London!
The nearest days after our trip to London we have not done anything special except for that we went to a real english pub to watch the football game between Sweden and England.
Now we have to work until next friday, and next week will be a thrill! We will be working together most of the time and we have the kitchen for our self at breakfast! On wednesday my mum and her husband are coming to stay at the hotel for a few days, and Sofias parents will come the week after! Fun!



Time to show our responsibility



GG writing from Abingdon
This first week has been really good. We have been in the kitchen all week and had the weekend off. The staff here is really nice and pedagogic, so we are very pleased! This weekend we have been around in Abingdon and Oxford, mostly shopping (the shopping here is amazing so far! OMG!). We have also experienced the local night life in Oxford and it was mostly quite similar to Sweden.
The only bad thing this week is that we are sometimes having different schedules so you have to be alone for some hours when the other one is working. :(
Also this week we have lived in three different rooms! And one in another hotel (which owns the hotel we are working at). All that because of that the hotel was full-boked at one night. But it's only fun to see more of this little world of Abingdon!
We are a little bit lazy on the photoshooting, but here is at least one! Enjoy!

Feathers Royal Hotel - Aberaeron Wales
We arrived here 2 days ago by car, by airplane and at last by three trains to no mans land in Aberaeron Wales. When we arrived we were picked up by to of the employers at the hotel, Jane and Josef.
Yesterday we had a day off to explore the countryside and rest from the trip. We walked around the town, that took about 10 minutes because the town is a very small village, about 100 inhabitants. This town has a very beautiful countryside with stony beaches, green fields and also high hills with free range sheeps.
Today was our first day i the kitchen, it is too bad that it wasn´t many customers over day time because we didn´t have much to do. But it did get better at night. It was plenty of customers but with lasy waiters, it got very hectic in the kitchen, that could also depend on that it is a small kitchen.
Today we also met Rebecka who went to our school about 2 years ago and who practice here before. She was really nice and she offered us a tour around Aberaeron and close towns.
All the staff at this hotel seems very nice and it looks like they are happy to have us here.
Kind regard, Niklas and Mikaela
