Brilliant being able to fly to St Helier, Jersey from our local airport care of Jet2. Flight is only about an hour. Staying at 8 Beresford Street St Helier right next door to St Helier Market. Note to self: don’t book a short haul flight on a Saturday from Newcastle Airport. Not only our flight was delayed and the limited facilities exceeded capacity. Poshmum just doesn’t do queues of 10 deep at the bar for an overpriced beer. Not even anywhere to sit comfortably whilst you wait.
Our digs for the week, however, at 8 Beresford Street, are very plush. A former gentlemen’s club with welcoming and efficient staff. Nicely stocked fridge is very welcome given its 27 degrees at 7pm. Nicely presented suite equipped with 2 TVs, no excuse to skip the England v Panama World Cup football game later!
Customary Saturday night Indian dinner was had care of Jaipur contemporary Indian restaurant where the staff were welcoming and amusing. Dishes were in the main fairly standard rather than contemporary, although a few more bespoke ones increased our expectations. I’m a little disappointed with no Indian beer on tap, and although bottles were available, they were overpriced, so we stuck to draught Stella Artois. Priced at £109 for 2, including service is on par with our local restaurants.
