So my recent travels have taken me to a few different places to stay and eat,they include the Kinmel Hotel and Spa , Burnt Truffle as well as the Vintage Inn at The Chimneys.

So to start with The Chimneys we went on a Saturday night quite early as our eldest daughter Henrietta had won a competition to create a recipe for a pizza that would be put on the menu as a special with her class at school. This was all her own work and she experimented over a few weeks and eventually came up with goats cheese,peppers and caramelised onion.I have to say that it tasted great during her focus group tasting (at home with her sister,mother & I),this was then tasted by the General Manager,Assistant Manager and Kitchen Manager.Her’s was chosen as the best.Well done Henrietta. It was placed on the menu and so we went to see and try it again. They did a great display of the whole event with pic’s etc. Well done to all who took part and also The Chimneys for coming up with such a great idea.
Recently my brother in law took us to The Burnt Truffle in Heswall as he took part in their crowd funding for the restaurant,the 1st site is Sticky Walnut in Hoole Chester. We went as a party of 4 with partners and the food and service were great,we were in the main part downstairs near the kitchen.Overall everyone enjoyed the food and was nice evening,only negative was the dessert wine was served room temperature and portions a little small but would recommend.
Finally we went the the Kinmel Hotel and Spa for our 15th anniversary,upon arrival there was as wedding which we thought my create an issue later in the night,they didn’t except doors opening which woke my wife but not me.The room was nice but had some faults,I pointed these out to the management.We ate at the restaurant,you need to look at the decor and make it a little more welcoming,this let’s down the restaurant and that it has a rosette.
The team in there are very warm and welcoming and the food and service overall were of a very high standard.
Breakfast is a let down by how it is set up and also the staff were less than hospitable and none of the people from the dinner service were there.
So generally all positives with some things needing attention.
The Kinmel you need to sort out the bedroom and breakfast service and The Burnt Truffle serve you wine at the right temperature.

Thanks
