Diary No. 248 Week of 4th January 2010 - 10th January 2010 Updated 14th January 2010
A New Menu at Jameson's
Yes Folk's that title is correct, on Monday 18th January 2010 Jameson's will start a New Menu. We will have a completely new A La Carte Menu for you to choose from, but even though this menu is new it will still change on the first Monday of each Month with the idea being that out of 14 main courses the top eight will stay every month to be replaced by six new ones, so this should at least keep people interested in reading the Menu!!!!!!!!!!! Of course the Steak of the Month, and the Roast of the Month will simply change every month, as will Kim's Choice. All suggestions are welcome, and will be given a chance on the new menu (Except for Pagey's idea of Free Food for Everybody!). We have also stopped the Daily Specials, and will now have a Weekly Set Menu of Three Starters, Three Main Courses, and Three Desserts. You can see the first Week's Menu starting on Monday 18th January on this Diary as well as the Main menu. For the Three Course Meal it will be 255 Baht, Two Courses 235 Baht, and One Course 195 Baht. This will also give you the opportunity to have the Set Menu at the time of your leisure (This Meal, all 3 Courses can be served with 45 minutes at Lunch Time if you’re in a hurry, just make sure you have Fire Insurance as we like to serve our food hot) and give you a choice very evening. The New Menu has given us the chance to completely start again, some of the old favorites have been taken off the menu, not because of any other reason than they had been with us for 5 years, and as they say a change is as good as a rest, but of course begging letters containing money could always cause a change of heart and say replacing the Ribs etc, but I will say that the New Ham Hock on the Menu more than makes up for the loss of the Ribs, as was tasted by Big Mark Bates. The Jameson's Weekend Carvery will now only be on Sundays, as the Saturday Carvery will make way for a Saturday Night Curry Buffet, including English, Indian, and Thai Curries. I am Happy to say that the New Menu has been made in cooperation with Matt and Charlie from Asia/West Products. Which has made the whole change over much easier, and of course means there is a joint effort to make sure everything is perfect. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the Menu, and obviously please come and try it out.

(Now did that make any sense?) Dobsy and Des Top Table on Saturday night
After the Christmas and New Year Festivities everything is back to as normal as it gets around Jameson's. The New Nova Gold Hotel has been a big hit with it reaching capacity over the festive period and remaining that way ever since which is marvelous for Jameson's. Martin at Minus Five is also doing very well, and with new business's popping up all round Soi A.R things are definitely on the up in the area. Way to many people have been through the door in the last month, but I thought the photos in last week's diary gave you a pretty good indication of who was here and who wasn't. Special mention must go out to several people though. The F.C Nova Pattaya team is back with their usual bang, and on the opening game of the season they scored five, not bad for a team that had certainly indulged themselves over the Festive Season. The Mighty Sam Peebles and family certainly left their mark certainly on Christmas Day. Nice to see Paul Dobbs. Jameson's Football Expert and Captain Brian Abbott, Big Mark Bates , Graham MacDonald, Richard and Maggie Waller of the Wonderful World of Wines, Richard and Ali from Portugal, Jim Sherman, Des Halls, Paul Slack, Young Steve Page always with a smile on his face. If anybody is in touch with Iris Ritchie please ask her to call me. Big Dave Hoyle (why I call him Big Dave anymore I have no idea as he ways less than me!) Has been down. Sadly Linus (Stu Mitchell, Fat Bob, whatever) has now gone back to Wales but will be back soon I hope. Dai and Porn Coe went off for a little holiday, but came back, and are ready to go on the rampage again. Nice to see Led Zeppelin reak Mark Windslade. Coronation Street Mal, Terry Schofield, Ron, Weaw and James Keeley. RayC, Peter Malhotra, Iain Corness and Family. The Root of All Evil was away over Christmas but will return shortly. The Great eruption that happens every time John Vinyard steps into town. John and Dai Coe between them nearly drank Jameson's dry on the 30th January which really was a day early. This Friday there is the Annual B.C.C.T Pub Networking Night at Jameson's sponsored By Steve Graham of ESC so a good time for all is insured. This Thursday sees the start of the Final Cricket Test match between South Africa and England, let's hope it's as exciting as the first three games. Now when do they play the One Day Series.......................... Oh yes that's right England have already won that one. Saturday this week sees Ali Greening's Birthday Party with Roast Lamb featuring very heavily on the Final Saturday Carvery. See you at the bar, Kim.
Lloyd Sherman takes the Jameson’s Bob the Barman Man of The Match Award for F.C Nova last Saturday 9th quite an achievement as F.C Nova under the watchful eye of Coach Stuart Levy scored Five Goals on their comeback for the Second half of the season. F.C Nova are now in Second Place in Division Two of the MBMG League. Anybody who would like a game for F.C Nova should come to Jameson's Pattaya and contact Kim Fletcher or Stuart Levy The Hartleys say happy New Year The Fineman Family have a Family Breakfast at Jameson's It's always fun at Jameson's Ian (Lady Di) Harrington with Alain, Graham (The Font of All Knowledge) and a very sad Linus on his last night in Jameson's till June Tim from Bangkok Jameson's on a visit Mark in that shirt	Bob working on the Carvery a man of many skills since Leeds beat Manchester United Will the owner of these glasses come and collect them please Nova Table is covered by Mark Bates and Dai Coe Car Club as ever gets completely out of Hand. If you read the Pattaya Mail and in Particular Iain Corness's Motoring Column it quite clearly states "A small group of Like Minded folk". It was nearly standing room only The Party for the arrival of the Newcomb twins (more like a Boro convention)
"Geoff Evans having a bottle of wine delivered in Singapore. Now if only Richard Waller could get Ron to deliver the Wine like this (perhaps not!)"
