From Christmas time until next March our guests will be able to take advantage of our new lunch and drinks package, this gives each guest daily lunch (breakfast is already part of the deal) and drinks all day. Combine this offer with our Winter Added Value Offer (which gives one free dinner in our restaurant per suite per day) and you are at Calabash on a FULL BOARD & DRINKS package!! (so it’s almost All Inclusive…but not quite).

The new Lunch & Drinks package will include: Lunch daily, all soft drinks, cocktails, mixed drinks, house wine, beers and mineral waters throughout the day.

The offer is valid for stays completed between 21st December 2009 and 31st March 2010 (excluding 25th and 31st December 2009).

So now you can come to Calabash knowing exactly what you are going to pay upfront. The only extras will be motorized watersports, mini bar drinks, food & beverages offered to other guests who are not on the full board package and spa treatments!

The new menu is inspired by Gary’s recent television programme ”Rhodes around the Caribbean” which aired in April on the UKTV Food channel. In August Gary came over to Grenada to work on the new menu with our kitchen staff and next week Gary is sending over his right hand man Wayne Tapsfield to make sure that all of our staff are trained on the menu and that everything is up to Gary’s exacting standards in time for our reopening on the 7^thof October.  

Below is a copy of the delicious new menu.

In other news Grenada has won a Gold Medal at the Royal Chelsea Flower show. The theme for this year’s winning exhibit, created by Suzanne Gaywood, was inspired by the nutmeg, cocoa and spice producing estates on the island and the activities centred around a ‘boucan’, the area where the spices are brought in for preserving, packing and dispatching.

Gary Rhodes joined Suzanne Gaywood to help to promote Grenada and his restaurant “Rhodes” at The Calabash Hotel on the island along with Peter de Savary, one of the sponsors of the exhibit and owner of Mount Cinnamon Hotel and Mount Edgecombe Plantation in Grenada. Read the full story here.
