For many of us, running our own pub is a dream. From ultra-modern gastro pubs, to cosy rural inns with a log fire burning in the corner, the idea of owning the perfect pub and being its loveable landlord greatly appeals. However, making it a reality can often be time consuming and confusing.

Before you get to realise your dream, it’s important to get to grips with everything involving alcohol licensing and how it would affect you. So that you’re on the right path, Flogas, who offer commercial gas prices, take you through all the important information about this legislation. Continue reading

Good morning! I’m partnering with premium coffee machine maker Melitta for a new series of My Coffee posts.

Over the past few months, I have been travelling a lot – even by my standards – with more time clocked away from than in London.

The Biggest & Best Music Festivals That Are Worth a Visit to the UK (Miles Away)

The Biggest & Best Music Festivals That Are Worth a Visit to the UK

The first hints of summer weather bring talk of music festivals. With the United Kingdom’s history of Cool Britannia it could be argued that this is the greatest place on earth for popular music and thus festivals. The Beatles, David Bowie, The Clash, Oasis, and the Spice Girls (and so many more) have secured the country’s status across the globe with songs that continue to inspire generations. Perfect weather may not be guaranteed but a stellar show always is.

Here are five of the biggest music festivals in Britain for the most musically inclined summertime bucket lists.

Because of these revelations, large food chains and supermarkets in the UK are currently thinking about who they are working with and are already prepared to draw a line in their contract to ensure they retain the trust of their customers.

Raising Eyebrows with Lowbrow Rosé Pairings (31 Dover)

Raising Eyebrows with Lowbrow Rosé Pairings

Here’s the scene. You’re on holiday in Provence. The weather is perfect. The sun is setting. You’re with some of your favourite people taking it all in when one of them pops open a bottle of rosé. You know what’s missing? A big bag of crisps.

A similar scenario might find you relaxing in your garden with your best mates, grilling burgers and sausages, bobbing your head to your preferred summer playlist but just not having your thirst quenched quite as readily as you’d like. Lager just doesn’t cut it. White wines are too pert and the reds too ponderous. You should have put a bottle of rosé in the fridge hours ago.

I could go on. But I think I’ve made my point. It pays to think pink when shopping for sunny day refreshments to drink with easygoing eats. Relegated to its own odd corner of way too naff for a certain set of folks and far too hoity-toity for others, rosé wine is often overlooked as an ideal option for all sorts of laidback occasions. Fact is these people are missing out. Rosé goes great with all sorts of grub – and is usually nicely priced for affordable foodie fun.

Some considerations for your summertime sharing …

An Evening of Meat at The Vaults

185-L1240835-

Alexandra Kalinowski enjoys an Evening of Meat at The Vaults.

It’s not often I’m handed a scoop of chicken liver atop a savoury cone and watched as I take each bite. I don’t know whether to stare back at her, or if she wants me to smile and look away. She’s about two inches from my face and can hear the crunch as I bite through the cone despite the thumping music. We’re doing a dance, but I’m not dancing.

She then slithers back across the table and I breathe a sigh of relief, mixed with a twinge of longing. But she’s already moved down the table, provoking other diners, some of which appear to be so uncomfortable I wonder if they might leave. Continue reading
