This weekend was all about getting to know our new This weekend was all about getting to know our new menu dishes! And what a weekend it was! 300 people a day through the doors…. Dream team ready for summer 2026!💪☀️ Proud as punch of every single one of them!💕
Happy Saturday from the Pier🌷#weekendvibes Happy Saturday from the Pier🌷#weekendvibes
We really needed a little break away after Easter. We really needed a little break away after Easter. We looked at France, Guernsey, Sark and Herm… because we wanted to take Maddie 🐶 In the end we travelled to St Ouen! The other side of our very own isle! We rented @jerseyheritage property #bargeaground from @freedomholidaysjersey and it’s been quite simply incredible. It’s nuts to holiday on the other side of a 9 x 5 island, but as we tell our guests all the time, the island is split into Easties and Westies and you are usually firmly in one camp or the other…. We have always been in the Eastie camp of course! Yet after the last three days we’ve all found a love for the West which means we’ll most probably holiday at home again!! Now, if that isn’t a lucky position to be in I don’t know what is!💕 @visitjerseyci
We’ve thought long and hard about how to say this, We’ve thought long and hard about how to say this, but being that it’s still on our minds, and giving us sleepless nights (that’s the reality of hospitality) we need to get it off our chests. 

Easter Monday was the end of an incredible bank holiday weekend for us. We’d had a fantastic weekend, and a fantastic lunch service, but completely underestimated the Monday dinner service. We generally of course work on bookings with a little bit of leeway for walk ins. 

On Monday evening we were completely overrun, and we didn’t manage to say no as much as we should have done. Saying no in hospitality goes against every instinct in our bodies but the reality is that sometimes saying no is the only right thing to do- more than anything it’s the only way to ensure good service. 

On Monday evening our service suffered. For walk ins and booked guests. Not to excuse this but just to let you in on the reality on our part….Easter Monday 2025 we saw 256 people through our doors. This year it was 397. Planning for a difference of that magnitude is almost impossible. And don’t get us wrong- we’re not complaining- we’re delighted that we have a product that people want to visit! But the unpredictability is one of the reasons we all dread bank holidays. They are notoriously the best and the worst weekends of the year. And without a doubt they’re not reflective of our usual service standards. 

To any of our customers who felt let down on Monday evening, please feel free to get in touch with us so we can do our best to make it up to you over the coming weeks and months. 

We work so hard to deliver every day of the week, and it’s so disappointing for us when one day ruins so much of what we’ve built throughout the year. That’s how it feels to us at least. One or two bad reviews take away all the good we also created over those four days which hasn’t been reviewed. 

We’re so sorry to any of you we let down. We did try our best, it just wasn’t good enough this time. For that we are sincerely sorry.

With love and gratitude as always,

Iselin, Matthew and The Moorings Family Team xx
For our last Moorings event this side of summer we For our last Moorings event this side of summer we’ve cooked up something really special! On 22nd April we have partnered with Toby Clyde-Smith of @talltalesjersey to put on a walk and talk evening exploring quite simply- our neck of the woods- and the history of Gorey! As he tells the stories, we’ll deliver the flavours, along the way, and in a 3-course meal at the end. We know how much love there is for Gorey- this is your chance to delve a little bit deeper into the stories of your neighbourhood and your home 🌊🏰🦪🥔 You can book your tickets via our website or by email to reservations📧 For full details follow link in bio!
It’s so easy to take the things we see all the tim It’s so easy to take the things we see all the time for granted… I mean until recently it was wet and grey every day for about 3 months… but even after a few wonderful weeks of sunshine (maybe it’s only days but it feels like weeks- you have definitely come out of hibernation!) this view will never be taken for granted. It reminds us every time of how lucky we are to live just here, watching another day draw to a close, the sun going to sleep behind the hill, the moon rising, all to the sound of the sea, boats bobbing on the water, birds overhead, the chatter of friends sharing stories on the terrace, laughter, glasses clinking… it’s Gorey magic right there ✨

There won’t be a more beautiful spot to while away an afternoon or evening… 🍸☀️ These are the days of our lives💕
A small confession… It’s Matthew, I’ve taken over A small confession… It’s Matthew, I’ve taken over the Moorings social media today…. 

Because it’s Mother’s Day, and the truth is there’s someone here who deserves a bit of recognition.

Iselin is not only an amazing Mama, she’s also the mothership of The Moorings — looking after our guests, our team, and somehow keeping the whole place running smoothly.

She brings the warmth, the calm, the organisation, and the magic that people feel the moment they walk through the door.

Simply the best.

Happy Mother’s Day, Iselin — and thank you for looking after all of us. We love you ❤️

Love how even on a grey day (and we have had many Love how even on a grey day (and we have had many now, let’s be honest!) arriving at The Moorings is just like a warm embrace. I always say, “hygge” is a feeling. This is that! Even from the outside looking in, it’s like being wrapped in a blanket…drop your shoulders, settle in, breathe and simply be❤️
Four and a half years in we are finally ready to l Four and a half years in we are finally ready to launch Afternoon Tea at The Moorings! The timing is down to Raffe, our Chef Pâtissier. His dream from the moment he joined us last year was to develop a Moorings afternoon tea. He has not only dreamt- but he has delivered too. So, on Saturday we will launch The Moorings Afternoon Tea in the Dining Room, capturing the character of Jersey- where British comfort meets French refinement! Expect classic finger sandwiches, warm scones fresh from the oven and beautifully crafted pâtisserie inspired by flavours just across the water. *

Served between 3-5pm Monday to Saturday and between 4 and 6pm on Sundays! 

Online bookings are now live! Alternatively, please email reservations@themooringshotel.com to book your table! ☕️ 🥂

*Regular or vegetarian only. Not available vegan or gluten-free.

On Sunday, several guests said to me, “Gosh, I can On Sunday, several guests said to me, “Gosh, I can’t imagine many places as packed as this on a Sunday in January!” And we’re so grateful for the weekends, because the reality is that mid-week in the depths of January is nothing like Sunday was. Add in the stormy weather- and it’s a bit eerie at times! So, if it wasn’t for the weekends we’d all be shut! But we made a conscious decision in January last year to stay open- and not to close, because the reality of no income was scarier than some income. That’s still the case. But I will let you in on this- if you support your local hospitality business mid week in addition to your weekend contribution it will mean the world to them. Whether you come for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or just a coffee or a drink, even just pop your head in for a chat! It’s about seeing you all in one way or the other, atmosphere, people happy to be able to go out, enjoying the fact we ARE open, that the fire’s lit! Your presence mid week, literally makes us breathe easier (because we’re holding our breath Monday to Thursday!) If you’re gifting in the winter, gift hospitality, gift a voucher,  buy someone dinner- or a stay. Bring it back round into an industry that needs you on those dark winter nights- make us all part of your celebrations but also your everyday- till we are all through to those sunnier days when every day feels like Sunday again!🙏
