New Lunch Menu!

Our new menu was launched 4th March, 2008.

Unfortunately, we've had to raise the prices a little but at £9.00 for a small

two course lunch and £11.00 for normal size, it still represents excellent

value and great quality.

See the menu in the restaurant section of the site.

Prize Draw Winner!

Results of the Guest Survey 2007 draws

The Winners were: Mr Fraser Dukes, Ms Lindsay Abbott, Mr. & Mrs. Bays

Duty Manager Adam Pope holds the bag while Mr. Roobottom one of our regular lunchtime guests makes the draw.

The winners receive a two night stay at the Welbeck simply for filling out our 'Guest Survey' which is placed in all our bedrooms.

We apologise for being a little late with the draws but we are now up to date.

In July 2006, we opened our new bar and it seems to be very popular with the guests and diners coming in for meals.

John has been a great success, really enhancing our reputation as one of the best restaurants in Douglas producing high quality meals with fresh food, mainly sourced locally.

Swimming Pool & Leisure Facilities

Our 2007 deal with 'Living Well' to provide our guests with a nearby pool & gymnasium free of charge has been extended to include 2008. Children are welcome and between 10am and 7pm and you only need to ask for a pass at reception each time you fancy a dip or working out at a more comprehensive gymnasium.

DeafGuard

We now have a device to make the hard of hearing aware of when the fire alarm has been activated. It fits underneath the pillow and vibrates when it picks up the sound of the siren.

Smoking Ban

The Welbeck Hotel is now a completley no smoking hotel! So far, it has proved to be a very popular decision. As part of our survey, we asked what our guests thought of the new no smoking policy and only 3% were against it


Rooms Accessories!

All rooms and apartments are now fitted with electronic safes. They are perfect even if you want to keep your laptop safe! As the apartments already come with fridges, we thought the rooms could also do with somewhere to keep your drinks cold after hours. So they have also been fitted with mini fridges!

The Welbeck is Wireless!!!

A wires-free network has recently been fitted by Computech Services Ltd. This will give you, the guests, the ability to access the Internet and Email etc from anywhere in the hotel providing you have the capable equipment. Again, we are not charging you for this service! Unfortunatly this service does not as yet cover the Apartments. Plans have been made to have the Apartments included Very Soon!

Death of Stuart Murphy

It is with great regret that I have to announce the untimely death of Stuart who was our Chef from 1988 to 2005. At the age of 42, Saturday 14th April 2007, he succumbed after a bravely fought battle against mouth cancer.

Although most of his treatment was in Spain, he returned to Slough to stay with his Auntie Sheila over his last few days and the cremation was Wednesday 25th April and there was a good attendance with friends travelling from all over Europe.
