A high-tech hotel with a difference: hub by Premier Inn, London Tower Bridge

by Martin | Oct 31, 2016 | London | 0

“hub by Premier Inn” refers to a group of new “high-tech” UK hotels that I discovered when researching my recent trip to London. I chose the London Tower Bridge hub hotel for my recent 5-night stay based on price, modern appearance and proximity to public transport.

Tried Domino's new "Sausage Sizzle" pizza (bbq beef sausage, grilled onion, mozzarella, bbq base, topped with tomato sauce & mustard).
.
This piece has twice as much sausage as all the other pieces. Maybe they're making a comment that people always add too much sauce.
.
Not impressed, @dominos_au #fail

The first jar in Australia? Maybe... but it won't be the last, because this is fantastic 😍
.
If you're a lover of English Marmite (and no, not the horrible Australian one) then this is a truly magnificent creation. The chilli doesn't affect the characteristic flavour or texture, it's just a perfect heat that I can't get enough of 🤤 @marmite
.
And before you ask, I imported this myself and I'm not telling you how much it cost me. But it's only being made for six months and I'm sure it won't be my only jar 😭😭

What do you need with odd flavoured crackers? Weird dips of course! The nature of these is given away in the name "What the Dip?!" And they're certainly unusual @blackswanfoods
.
I wasn't a fan of the cheeseburger. As seems to mostly be the case there's a vague sense of meat and cheese and an overriding pickle flavour. I'm not a big pickle person at the best of times.
.
The pulled pork reminded me of the Kraft onion and bacon dip from my childhood, which I didn't like but there never seemed to be another option (apart from the equally dubious French Onion, of course). Good for meaty nostalgia.
.
I always assumed Black Swan were from WA but it says they are from South Melbourne. Not sure how I feel about that 😬
.
It's nice to see some good attempts at flavouring and these are definitely worth a try if you're curious.

This week from the inventive folks at Darrell Lea we've got some mini dark chocolate peppermint Easter eggs! Not sure why it's party time, but anyway...
.
They're individually wrapped, and deliver precisely what is promised. The dark chocolate is of good quality and the peppermint flavour comes from candy shards, like a Peppermint Crisp. The kids probably won't like them 😜 Great job @darrelllea 😍

What's next, hot cross bun flavour?? 🤔

Picked up these ALDI "Vietnamese style" spring rolls for a lunch-ish snack, and cooked them in the air fryer because that's what we do now (and ALDI are kind enough to give you air fryer instructions).
.
They certainly looked the part and were nicely crunchy but the filling was more like a soft, mild, Asian-herby sausage roll.
.
Not what I was expecting, but by no means unpleasant. Dunk them in some serious chilli and you'll never know the difference.
.
I can't remember the exact cost - I think it was $3 something - and like many things ALDI it's hard to complain at the price @aldiaustralia

Public Service Announcement: approach with extreme caution ☣️😨 Whoever thought peanut butter and coffee in milk would be a good idea was clearly deranged, but not as much as whoever gave this the green light to enter production.
.
It's just horrible, and nothing like any peanut butter I've tasted. One mouthful was more than enough, and apart from slightly salty I'm hard pressed to describe it politely 🤢 Smells like marzipan mixed with milk that's slightly off.
.
Exclusive to @7elevenaus if you like a challenge.

We interrupt Perth's covid lockdown AND a bushfire evacuation to bring this exciting condiment news courtesy of Coles!
.
I've been waiting for bottled curry sauce for years. I used to smuggle the HP one back when visiting the UK but they don't make it any more. There's a Heinz one but it just isn't the same.
.
This is just like what you get on your food-festival bratwurst, and I'm so happy to have it as an option in the pantry. Just wish I'd brought it with me when we evacuated 😭 @colessupermarkets

Spotted these curious new kombucha jellies from @thenaturalconfeccompany on special in Woolies for $2 so thought I'd give them a shot.
.
I don't particularly like or dislike Kombucha (definitely prefer it to switchel 🤢) but I think the easiest way to describe these is that I would never have picked it as the underlying flavour. They're a little sour but certainly not unpleasant. There's no great distinction between the three different jellies.
.
I'm guessing there's more here for kombucha fans. Worth a try if it's something you enjoy. Fingers crossed I'm going to benefit from the prebiotic fibre 😋

What does "Beach BBQ" conjure up in terms of flavour? Sausage and sand? Seagull and stolen chip? I'm not sure, but I really didn't like this weird BBQ-ish creation. They couldn't even be bothered making up a description, which says a lot.
.
The Chipotle Salsa is a much better effort, they're rather spicy and actually taste of Chipotle. Surprising. "Salsa" seems superfluous, but I'll let them off this time 👍

This week out of the seemingly unstoppable Darrell Lea R&D department we've got chewy nougat balls in two flavours very dear to me @darrelllea
.
The clear winner here is the orange, in a well matched flavour combo with the dark choc. Very enjoyable.
.
The coffee flavour was just way too strong in the milk choc ones. I'm sure I'll finish the bag but (probably) won't be going back for another 😋
.
Available at Coles.

Hot on the heels of the return of the McRib and El Maco, Macca's have released two new burgers with cooked onions as a feature - the Crispy BBQ McOz and the Aussie Angus. Perhaps more excitingly, onion rings are available on their own (but not as a side in place of fries).
.
I decided to try the McOz, which has the novelty factor of beetroot and fried onions. Unfortunately I found the whole thing dry and the onions so small they had no real impact. I don't really understand BBQ sauce with salad, either.
.
I was pleased that the onion rings were made of "real" onion but they were too greasy. Shame. They're not cheap at $3.10 for 6, either. The Aussie Angus contains onion rings so that might be a rather greasy experience.
.

Why does citrus (mostly orange) flavoured yogurt now only come in limited editions and then by the bucket? I want the mandarin Yoplait of my childhood back 😭
.
This is actually pretty good, although quite intense owing to the quality of the yogurt and strength of the syrup running through it. I shouldn't complain though or they'll take it away 😳😭 if you like citrus, give this a go 👍 Found in IGA.

I was hopeful this was going to great before I tried it, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a mix of salted caramel & chocolate ice cream, roasted peanuts, salted caramel sauce and chocolate curls. If you're a fan of salted caramel and peanuts, you're going to absolutely love this 🤤🤤 @colessupermarkets
.
I paid a hefty $10 for this in Coles, but it's quality all the way through. There's a Mars one too, and I'll be back for that soon 😍 @snickers_au
