Crab Races are Back!

What's just as good as when Chef Tony's crab dishes are on the menu at Nisbet? When Patterson holds his crab races!

The weekly crab races return to Nisbet much to the liking of our guests, and even the crabs!

The races are set up as a fundraiser for Nevis' Cotton Ground Youth Fund. This first race made over US$100!

Each week Patterson gathers crabs from the beach and takes bets for the race. Numbers are painted on their backs in red nail polish. Dont worry - no crabs were harmed during this race. At the end of the race the crabs are released back into the wild.

As part of the continuing improvements to Nisbet, we even upgraded the box for the crabs from a boring cardboard box to a nicely painted wood box.

Lorraine May Need a Bigger Bikini at Nisbet

UK travel agents entered into the spirit of Nevis’ first Pirate Festival by dressing up as pirates and penning poems.

Nisbet Plantation partnered with British Airways to offer the incentive of a 7 night stay for the winning agent and their partner, to include two international flights to St. Kitts and return water taxi transfers.

Entries poured in for the competition and the winning ditty was penned by Lorraine Allen of Kuoni World Class – a leading UK tour operator. View the top four entries here.

Like anyone who has enjoyed the superb cuisine at Nisbet Plantation, Lorraine expressed concerns about what it may do to her figure:

"With the restaurant for breakfast and dinner, the Great House terrace for afternoon tea,
A cocktail at sunset, would she need a bigger bikini? (was Lorraine’s question.)
Well there is tennis and croquet and snorkelling off the beach,
Some sessions in the fitness centre – the bikini may just reach!"

We look forward to welcoming Lorraine and her bikini at the Resort.

July 2009 Employee of the Month

Tara Roberts has been with Nisbet Plantation Beach Club since January 2006. She is one of the many valuable cooks in the kitchen.

A very committed and dedicated employee, Tara primarily works in the Great House kitchen, prepping for afternoon tea, dinner and any private functions at the hotel.

The rest of the dining room/bar staff knows when Tara is on duty because she clearly labels all the bar snacks and has everything well organized.

Chef Tony sometimes features her entrees on the dinner menu including Tara's Boneless Curry Chicken or Tara's Johnny Cakes.

Please share your congratulations for Tara by posting a comment!

Storm-free Nisbet

Good news! Tropical Depression Ana has come and gone with no problems at Nisbet Plantation.

We are not in the path of Hurricane Bill and do not expect any severe weather due to its passage.
