I was in a mono, both in December and in June, and didn't find it rolly in the anchorages much, except, as Mike said, in Saline Bay on Mayreau - and it still wasn't as bad as some of the norther anchorages in the BVI's during a swell.
There are places to eat at every stop except for Petit Nevis just south of Bequia and the Cays.
Some places only have one choice, but most have a few you can choose from.
Admiralty Bay, Bequia and Clifton Harbour, Union Island have lots of choices within a few blocks area of the docks.
Most of the other anchorages have one or two places close by the docks, and a few farther away, which might entail a long walk or taxi ride.
I never made it to Chatham Bay, Union Island, but there are several beach bbq places (are they restaurants now?) along the beach.
I was never concerned with where to eat or drink, even in the off season there were plenty of choices.

Seth said: The one problem in Saline Bay if you go too far to the north is that you risk getting in the way of the ferry - which will NOT get out of the way for you.... Agreed TOTALY. But if the swells are doing what swells do and you're out of option "B"..... Personly in settled weather a hook as far south as you dare is a better option. But then again if they're setting up chairs on the beach I'd really rather be drinking Jauanty's (sp) punch.
