Come Dine With Me! Sept 2016 Dining Report (Onsite/Offsite) **COMPLETE**

Hi

Welcome to my 2016 dining report which I hope to update live or keep relatively up to date. I'll be at the mercy of free Wifi.

We will be staying at the Hard Rock Hotel for 7 nights followed by 10 nights at Disney Saratoga Springs on the Disney Dining Plan. Hopefully we will have adjusted to US portions in time for the DDP.

I will change the format when I get back so it may look a little basic until then but as long as the pictures are there it should be fine!

Anyway we fly out tomorrow so today is our pre-travel day. Without further ado...

Pre-Travel Day: Breakfast at home


As we won't be eating until quite later tonight I decided to have a filling breakfast.

Boiled egg and soldiers



Andy had something much earlier but just had a jam donut. I had a bite and it was rather nice.



Just waiting for Virgin online check in to open.

Pre-Travel Day: Little M Bar - Radisson Blu Manchester Airport


We arrived and checked in at pretty much bang on 2pm. The plan is to get the train to Manchester and go for an early dinner. We still had a while until the next train so went for a drink in the hotel cocktail bar - Little M bar.

Andy had a bottle of Bulmers cider as they only had lager on draught. It was £6.80! 😩

I had a cocktail - Rhythm & Blues



It came in a cute glass.



Yep that says £10! 😪 It was nice though and tasted akin to a pina colada.

Now on the train to Manchester in search of cheaper drinks!

Pre-Travel Day: Albert's Schloss - Manchester


Once off the train we headed to one of my favourites, Albert's Schloss. It's a bar/restaurant with a German Oktoberfest theme and is really pretty inside.





I had a Fruli strawberry beer which was £4 for a 2/3 pint glass. Andy ordered a pint of Aspalls cider. The tap looked normal but it actually came out as a fruit cider, very similar to my strawberry beer but without the yeasty aftertaste.

Mine on the left.


Cute glass



I don't normally do beer at all but this was lovely and light and I really enjoyed it.

Much more reasonable at only £9 for the round.
