Seasons Greetings to All!!

Well it’s Christmas time once again and the air in Swansea is filled with the ringing of shop tills and jingling with excitement as people go about their Christmas shopping.

Here at the Dragon Hotel we are in full swing with parties and festive food on the menu….as office workers embrace the spirit of the season by consuming vast quantities of well the spirits of the season (and beer)

The accounts office is full of festive fun as they argue over whose turn it is to open the advent calendar and they sing along at their desks to the old Christmas classics! The Conference staff are busy making sure all the parties and events go with a bang and by the time the festive functions are over they will be all Christmased out!! From the Kitchen and the Brasserie drift the lovely smells of Christmas dinner and pudding interspersed with the dulcet tones of Chef Steve shouting instructions to his team!

On behalf of all the Management Team and Staff here at the Dragon Hotel, I would like to thank you for your valued custom and services and wish you a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year!!

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the Dragon Hotel delighful! The Brasserie is the place to go…please don’t snow, please don’t snow, please don’t snow!

With the Christmas party season now in full swing, the hotel is buzzing with activity.. the trees are trimmed, the lights are flashing and the kitchen is place of oganised chaos and beautiful aromas!

Head Chef Steve is doing his best Gordon Ramsey impersonation as he barks orders out to his ’little helpers’ and Pastry chef Hayley is concocting the most delicious desserts you could imagine, from your traditional Christmas pud to Orange Parfait with Clementine Compote with Chestnut shortbread! Mouthwateringly good!

So if you fancy some festive fun, or just a traditional Christmas dinner, come along to the hotel and sample the delights we have to offer!

Well it’s been a while since you heard from the Admin and Accounts department and we have been very busy bees let me tell you!

 Helen the Accounts Manager has acquired a new addition to the family in the form of the very cute and fluffy ‘Norman’ the hamster! He very much enjoys chewing his cage toys and making a mess!!

 Kelly the Administration Manager has been off treading the boards as Miss Adelaide in the musical ‘Guys and Dolls’ with the Port Talbot Amateur Operatic Society, which was a huge success (see photos) and was supported by many members of the Dragon Hotel Team.

 Kelly the Accounts Assistant has been far too busy studying for and passing her accountancy exams and has two more coming up (good luck Kelly we know you can do it!) but promises to have done something exciting for our next blog entry – although I have just had to remind her that she came to watch Guys and Dolls last week, which was very exciting indeed!!

 We have also been fortunate enough to have 2 lottery wins since our last entry and so have £20 towards a meal in the Dragon Brasserie!  To all food lovers out there, come along to the Brasserie for a visit and check out the new signage and Hotel face-lift that we have had done in honour of the Dragon Hotel’s 50^th Birthday! It’s fab!

 Well enough from us for now, until the next instalment……Will Norman clean up his act…will Kelly 1 pass her exams……will Tom Cruise invite Kelly 2 to be his leading lady….cue tense music……end scene!
