Talking of Sanda, I see that there are a couple of job opportunities here. Only seasonal but would be nice place to work; would suit some

It rather seems as though the owners are seeking to recruit German speaking staff. I wonder if they can demonstrate that that's a genuine occupational requirement for the roles, as I seem to recall the relevant legislation has it.

Hmm
Perhaps there is an opportunity for a follow up to Mr Childers fine novel- "The riddle of the Sanda"?

Fellow mooring trot occupiers came back after a week's cruising, including a MOK rounding with praise for the ex-Byron Darnton.
They took one of the four moorings for £10 a night and ate ashore two nights. No problem with access to the rest of the island.
They reported a reasonably priced menu and high standard food prepared by a resident Hungarian chef/Manager.
The restaurant will be closed at the end of this month (they were told) for a complete refurb to achieve five-star standard.
So, less of a pub and more of a posh eatery. Reluctantly, I could live with that.

Yeh, but what would the situation have been if they wanted to wander without taking moorings or buying food? different I bet.
And as for the vacancy advert definatly discriminate.
Why would they only want to recruit german speaking only staff if they expect to get multi national customers.
Me thinks its time to email the owners again and reming him of our legislations in this country which he blatantly seems to be ingoring. :thumbsdown:

I missed where it says that an applicant must be German speaking. Where was that?

TBH, the chef's language won't bother me if I visit again. The cooking is more important!

I’m so glad that they still provide food and serviced moorings, as it looks (to me anyway) the best place for a “stop-over” when rounding the Mull etc. :D

Germany is hardly famed for gourmet cuisine though . . .

Well, gourmet's a French word, so they woudn't be, would they!
Germany's a big country with a lot of variation across seemingly competitive regions.
I've always enjoyed my food and wine over there, although some of the sausagewursts require local knowledge to navigate safely.
