Does anyone perhaps know if Paterson or Cookhouse have a Royal Hotel? I'm going to a farm just past Cookhouse tomorow!

I used to be a booze rep and don't recall those two towns having hotels called the Royal. Paterson was called the Paterson Hotel and Cookhouse didn't have a functioning hotel.  Nearest hotel to Cookhouse was the Golden Valley Hotel then the one at Middleton.

I think there was a Royal Hotel in Somerset East tho. Go find out for us.

Hey EV, since you started this and own the 1st post, how about editing said post with a (growing) list of links to RH's in the country.

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas. Enthusiasts are fighters. They have fortitude. They have staying qualities. Enthusiasm is at the bottom of all progress. With it, there is accomplishment. Without it, there are only alibis.

Another one in East London.

They serve these monster burgers there.

I only finished a third.  ::)

Only 2 guys finished up and they soon complained that they wish they did not.  :biggrin:

Ladies and Gents

You will all be roaming around the country freely over the next 6 weeks or so - I'm hoping that all of you will remember to take those Royal Hotel pics. 

When I mentioned that we were going to make a coffee book for a good cause, it was meant turthfully, but unless I have at least 100 pics or so, I can't get it done..?

Help, mense, help !!!!!!!!!!!!
