Dogfish Head’s Post

Did you see Dorking step back in history yesterday? Here’s what happened: The White Horse officially opened its doors again yesterday, and made sure everyone was entertained with a horse drawn carriage pulled by two magnificent white (of course!) horses, Dickensian singers and a reading from Charles Dickens himself. And now the doors are open, this is what's on offer: A completely redesigned bar area now cosily and conveniently situated at the entrance to the building. Imagine sitting next to the roaring fires while you linger over your favourite tipple, or a group gathered to enjoy good drinks and good company. And when the sun starts joining us a bit more there are a selection of outdoor spaces too. 56 beautifully renovated and decorated rooms, just waiting to welcome you for an overnight stay (or maybe even a few nights!). There are really fancy rooms for those decadent Dorking stays, rooms perfect for couples, accessible rooms, and those for the solo traveller too. And if you want to bring your dog, there are rooms to suit those who can’t be parted with their pooches as well. An amazing dining experience in the wonderful new dining room. With mains from bar favourites that are anything but basic like burger and chips, to sumptuous slow-cooked duck, and perfectly cooked steaks. With dietary considerations from vegan, vegetarian and allergens, there is something for everyone. Then there’s the Sunday roasts with bottomless trimmings - in case you’ve ever wondered just how many Yorkshire puddings you can eat! With so many reasons to visit, from weekend stays exploring Dorking, to grabbing a drink with friends, visit https://buff.ly/49sUf5B for true local hospitality with heart. #HeartwoodInns #TheWhiteHorseDorking #PubWithRooms #HomeAwayFromHome #WeekendAway #WeekendBreak #SurreyHillsWalks #HelloDorking #Dorking #DorkingSurrey #SurreyHills #SurreyAONB #BoxHill #Ranmore #LeithHill #Denbies #DeepdeneTrail #HistoricSurrey #SurreyWalks #DorkingWalks #SurreyAdventures #HistoricalWalk #DorkingHistory #SurreyHistory #HistoricEngland #ThingsToDoInSurrey

Lobster season in The Bahamas has officially arrived 🦞 Bahamian lobsters, also known as spiny lobsters, belong to a family of over 45 species of achelate crustaceans. Harvested primarily from the clear, warm waters surrounding The Bahamas, this lobster species is a key element of local cuisine and an important part of the island's economy. The fishing of Bahamian lobsters is traditionally carried out through skillful diving amongst coral reefs and rocky habitats - this sustainable practice ensures the preservation of lobster populations and their environment. Visitors can even enjoy guided diving adventures which provide an opportunity to explore vibrant underwater ecosystems while harvesting the lobsters. Local festivals and seafood feasts often feature Bahamian lobster, two of the most common preparations being Bahamian lobster tails and lobster salad. Revered for its sweet, tender meat, this seafood delicacy is a staple in local dishes showcasing its importance in community gatherings and celebrations. Prices for Bahamian lobsters vary depending on size, season, and market demand, but they generally command a premium due to their high quality and the cost of sustainable harvesting practices. Typically, the retail price range is between US$16.20 and US$24.79 per kilogram or between US$7.35 and US$11.24 per pound (lb). Their distinctive flavor and texture make them a sought-after delicacy in both local and international markets. Regardless of plate or price, lobstering is more than a commercial activity in The Bahamas; it’s a cherished cultural practice passed down through generations as a vital component of the island's identity.

Considering allowing dogs at your self-catering property? It could be a game-changer! 🐾 Many customers are searching for properties that will accept one or more dogs.
