We have been wrestling with the possibility of no longer serving Weekday Lunches over the last couple of months. A combination of high costs, low profit margins, increased competition with a gradual reduction in custom led to our 'final' decision to close the Restaurant.
And of course, we have suddenly become busier with yesterday being the best day for quite some time with 30 diners making The Welbeck Hotel Restaurant their choice of venue to consume their midday day repast.
Therefore, performing a U-turn comparable with some of the recent about faces of our esteemed Manx Government, we've fudged the issue and with rubber resolve decided to open Wednesday, Thursday & Friday but to shut on Monday, Tuesday & Saturday.
Sunday Lunches & Dinners remain the same, the former from 12.30pm to 2.30pm and the latter 6.30pm to 9.30pm seven days per week.
Incidentally, the photograph above is quite an old one, taken in January 2007 when we first opened for lunch. Ironically, Ewelina, the waitress pictured at the time, visited us yesterday for a meal along with her husband, former Hotel resident, Peter McGarry and their new baby. There must have been something in the air really because Karen Needham, pictured at one of the tables, also has had another child since.
