The latest food and lifestyle news

All the turkey has FINALLY been eaten and the fitness DVDs are on the shelves – it must be January! A lot of people are trying to be good in terms of what they eat – but you can still enjoy good food, especially in a region where there is so much culinary goodness on offer – or, if you fancy a bit of a detox, then check out our competition with the Quay Hotel.

		Restaurant of the Month: Bacchus Bacchus specialises in modern British food with European influences.

The food, interior and ambience are all superb – and in addition to the main restaurant, there is a dedicated Champagne bar and private dining room.
		Banish the New Year Blues Post Christmas blues? Fear not!
