That was the only downside for me also. Compared to Scalford, the beer was meh, and the food on offer was abysmal. They really need to get that sorted if they return there.

Otherwise, all good. Did anyone who visited the room with vintage Philips gear pause to wonder if we've really come very far since the 1970s?

I had some good food while I was there. Once at the local curry house on Friday night and then on Sunday when I got a footlong veggie delight with extra jalapenos and ranch sauce at the Subway next door.

Thanks for sharing Martin.

But none of that food came from the Hotel, other WAM Shows have had a bar and restaurant open so you could get a plate of food is my point.

Me too, the last one i did was with Alex when we did the "cheap as chips" room back when it was at Scalford, it was hard work especially there with no lifts just stairs, but a fun couple of days never the less

Yeh, same hear, shared a room with Gordon "Halfwaytree" at Scalford.
I remember two old guys trying to haul a 50Kg valve amp down those stairs, when I was struggling with my considerably lighter NS-1000m.
The room we had was terrible, a creaky wooden floor that sucked up the bass, still enjoyed it though.

Yep. According to the Show Guide "Both bars open"...Nope, The Main bar never opened, and, "!2:00-14:00 Restaurant open for lunch"...Nope. You could get a meagre sandwich and pop/water for £5 from the small bar that was open.

I know I was being sarcastic

Apparently the hotel were sceptical and didn't think many would turn so didn't prepare. The Wam staff are going to make sure the next one is better.

Fail to prepare - prepare to fail
