What the Mai Tai?
As we are named after this fantastic classic cocktail, it only seems right that we should cover it, there have been many variations on this cocktail some better than others we are going to look at just two of the original recipes and there associated stories
firstly we will look at Tiki Cocktails and how two claims to fame on the Mai Tai

The Art of great service
Considering we work in the service industry many venues can fall short on just that. All the greatest products in the world can't make up for a poor experience of bad service, at the same time people don't always expect great service in bars in the same way as they would in a restaurant. This is due to a lack of understanding of what great bar service really is.Umixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16615545702200484720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947688544330773363.post-68269622050074088412011-08-17T11:26:00.000-07:002012-01-30T11:11:03.393-08:00Mai Tai - Cider & Sausage Festival 2011With the bank holiday fast approaching we at Mai Tai decided what would be the best way for us to celebrate Mai Tai's 4th birthday and the summer bank holiday...!!!
