Arrivals

[Joe]

Manchester can no longer cope with the bottleneck at security so they are extending the airside area to cover all the Terminal 1 landside shops and restaurants to. When finished security and passport control will be by the checkin desks, anyone familiar with Manchester will realise what a serious undertaking that is. Be great when it's done though even if I won't be able to get my lunch from boots anymore.

When we travelled independently,for the first time, we went straight into the airport when we arrived, and didn't speak to a rep of any kind. We were early, and no check-in was open, but we waited around(probably taking up precious space) and when the sign went up, we asked one of the staff who were hanging around if we were heading for Newcastle through this desk. By that time a queue had already started to form, and after a sly look at other folks bag labels, we decided it was the right place. We didn't come across any problems, and we didn't need to wait outside in the heat. Hopefully all goes as well this time too.

If I am ever in Arillas without my friend Michelle she gets so jealous, I have to go incognito and have to send her a text immediately.....of course I will be in the Greasy Spoon (Brouklis) where I tell her I am eating burger and chips (spit roast lamb)....

[Joe]

Dimitris did have Burger and chips and pizza on the menu this year, I think he might be taking the restaurant in a new direction

/joke

[Sandy x]

I certainly hope not! A few years ago he didn't even serve chips but I think he has had to give way to the demands/expectations of some tourists.....

[Joe]

Greek chips?

[Sandy x]

Well, I assume it's Greek potatoes and they certainly aren't frozen chips. I've never eaten one there so can't say any more than that....

[Joe]

I can be a bit of a chip fiend but give me Greek Potatoes anyday

[Smiffypink]

The Greek roasted potatoes with the lamb are to die for, its all to die for really, yum!!

[vivian]

Die by stomache explosion if I eat any more then I already do in Arillas. Viv

[raff]

Any more up to date news on the Arilla Inn?  We enjoyed eating there.  I hope they are open in July-Aug.

Hi Raff

We met our friends on the 27 May, who are friends with Leo from the Arillas Inn and according to him it will not be open this season unfortunately.
