5-star flop
I had dinner in The Sandbank Bistro at the Westbury Hotel on Friday evening. Distinctly average I'm afraid. For a 5 star hotel, The Westbury really doesn't come up to scratch these days. I guess for many years it ruled the roost and then just rested on it's laurels. But for it's location, I wouldn't bother.
In this day and age though there is stiff competition out there in the shape of the ultra efficient Four Seasons and the charmingly luxurious Merrion. When The Shelbourne returns it too will be a force to be reckoned with. Time to shape up or ship out.
In other news I see that former TV presenter and top model Louise Loughman has been voted 'Hot Mama of the Year'. Calm down lads - The Pregnancy Store on Dawson launched the voting campaign. She beat the likes of FMI Vivienne Doyle and Lorraine Keane to bag the title. Louise, and husband Stephen Byrne, are expecting their first child in September.
Question of the weekend: Which middle aged Irish celebrity has a penchant for teenage boys?
