Unless you wish to become a life guard, for our purposes the Royal National Lifeboat College is a…read moreplace to eat and drink, if you are a member, or the companion of a member. The canteen is an extermely pleasant room with floor to ceiling windows, giving a panoramic view of Holes Bay. The food is serve yourself salads, and hot food like a carvery. I never quite know where to start, so always check out the hot food first. Meats are beautifully cooked, and sliced generously. Vegetables are always great. The salads are always a dead cert. They vary from potatoe salad, mixed bean, carrot, beetroot, pasta salads and variatins on any salad I've come across. The prices are very good as, because they are a charity, the RNLI are not allowed to profit above a certain margin. The canteen has variously sized tables with chairs. It also has trainee life boat men. From the centre of the canteen, a large spiral staircase takes you up to the bar. Unfortunately, alcohol is not served until after 5pm as it is a place of education. The views from up here are magnificent. Members can use the accomadation, hostel style, for occasional use. There are several conference suites, which are really fab - I've interviewed in one of them. There are a couple of viewing places to watch the training pool, where trainees get ready for stormy seas and rescue techniques. Loos are clean and access is very good.
