But this elegantly fronted Georgian terrace, smartly made up with its pretty hanging baskets and carriage lamps conceals an unexpected box of delights.

It has been several years since we visited the Trent Navigation and we’d heard that it had been refurbished so we thought it was high time that we paid it a visit. What an improvement – in fact, it’s so different that we could scarcely recognize it! It’s smart, warm, comfortable with …

We spent a couple of very happy hours in the Devonshire Cat on our last visit to Sheffield. Its light, airy, warm interior was just what we needed on this dreary, wet Monday in April. True, its interior has a touch of JDW about it, but …

The Vic is an institution in Beeston, very popular with staff and students of the nearby University of Nottingham. It is justifiably popular having a great beer and wine cellar, and quality food. It is a beautiful characterful building, and tender loving care is clearly lavished on it by its …
