...Karnataka food is lesser known and it tires me to see people rushing to eat French, Italian or Spanish food when our food should sit there on a world platform for its excellence and purity. 


...The British public are just now beginning to understand that Indian food is not all korma and tikka masala and I am doing my best to break this stereotype as you can read in my blog. 

...An example is huggi with onion pachadi, vangibath, Mangalore grilled pomfret, tuna sashimi with a soya chilli , a small cube of perfectly cooked lamb in a Moroccan dried fruit sauce, the simplest Thai food &mdash; heavenly &mdash; or fresh Italian Linguine with fresh basil and parmesan sauce and so on. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Guardian Readers favourite Indian restaurant in the South East</title><dc:creator>mark@bonchurchmanor.com</dc:creator><category>The Tiffin Room</category><dc:date>2007-09-22T15:21:12+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/b364a5c8cf9c09fb9bdb7a8999837718-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/b364a5c8cf9c09fb9bdb7a8999837718-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The&nbsp;Guardian again, (we're sure it was Ms Choat) lists The Tiffin Room as one of the readers favourite Indian&nbsp;restaurants in the South East of England.

Look at the headline "If the Michelin Guide cared about proper food, rather than the degree of starch in the napkins, it would give Bonchurch a star". ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Guardian: We&#x27;re the Best hotel for the Bestival</title><dc:creator>mark@bonchurchmanor.com</dc:creator><category>Bonchurch Manor</category><dc:date>2006-07-29T22:44:58+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/68128635d0df2f2178cc74f7be7e4ea5-4.html#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/68128635d0df2f2178cc74f7be7e4ea5-4.html#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Saturday Guardian says we're the best hotel for the Bestival - just half an hour away!]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>The Tiffin Room would definitely win plaudits in London</title><dc:creator>mark@bonchurchmanor.com</dc:creator><category>The Tiffin Room</category><dc:date>2006-09-09T22:10:17+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/d9b6f4db87e875acc71f04c67344e002-3.html#unique-entry-id-3</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/d9b6f4db87e875acc71f04c67344e002-3.html#unique-entry-id-3</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA["The Tiffin Room would definitely win plaudits in London" says this whippersnapper of a journalist from the Guardian.


"With its menu of south Indian dishes and amazingly good value wine list, The Tiffin Room would definitely win plaudits in London; on the Isle of Wight, where cream teas outnumber vegetable pakoras by about 1,000 to one, it's a revelation.   My masala dosa starter was light and perfectly cooked.   A sea bass filet came with a generous coconut, tamarind and coriander sauce."

We're not sure about the 'posh' part, but thanks for the lovely words Ronnie. 


One thing though - the price quoted in the article is completely wrong at &pound;310 for a family room.   Our family rooms are around &pound;100 per night and babies are free! ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Paddy Burt in The Daily Telegraph&#x2c; says...</title><dc:creator>mark@bonchurchmanor.com</dc:creator><category>Bonchurch Manor</category><dc:date>2004-10-16T09:30:32+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/df17559bfd44f72b961a0f5d130c7c2f-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/df17559bfd44f72b961a0f5d130c7c2f-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Paddy Burt in The Daily Telegraph filed this upbeat and welcome review of Bonchurch Manor Hotel and The Tiffin Room in her column - Room Service.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Its Tiffin Time at The Manor</title><dc:creator>mark@bonchurchmanor.com</dc:creator><category>The Tiffin Room</category><dc:date>2003-10-24T19:00:00+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/1d94f522ebde374a1bb87bcbda532fde-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bonchurchmanor.com/about/news_files/1d94f522ebde374a1bb87bcbda532fde-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Run by Shuba Rao and Mark Middleton, The Tiffin Room aims to become an important gastronomic focal point in the south of the Island.

Located at historic Bonchurch Manor, The Tiffin Room offers customers a menu of Southern Indian cuisine in comfortable surroundings. 

...The couple will use the opportunity to celebrate the launch and Diwali by giving customers the bonus of a firework display in the manor's impressive grounds tomorrow night (Saturday).

...Mrs Rao said she aims to explore the possibility of starting an Indian cookery course, perhaps linked to the IW College's catering department.]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
