LIKYA RESTAURANT

Do you have an event coming up in July or August? Please forward them over to us and we will do our best to help you promote them free of charge in this magazine. So what do we have in this edition? Don’t forget Father’s Day is coming up this month. Take a look at our Father’s Day gift ideas on pages 16-17. We have more tickets to giveaway, this month we’re giving away two tickets for each day of the Solihull Festival, Some absolutely corking acts this year. Our Restaurant reviews are back! this month see’s us vist the brand new mediterranean restaurant Likya in Flint

ikya is a brand new authentic Mediterranean and Turkish restaurant in Flint, it has only been open a few months and is totally unique to the area . We chatted to one of the owners Des who was so welcoming and friendly and has a wealth of experience in authentic Mediterranean food , opening his ﬁrst restaurant in 2019 in Brombourgh village called The Turkish BBQ ,they have now branched out to Chester and Flint. Des is passionate about using good quality products, cooked fresh on the grill and presented immaculately to your plate, he explains the

Ethos of the restaurant is to provide good healthy food in a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere The restaurant is authentically decorated with lots of rustic wood fittings and furniture and a large mural of a Turkish street scene on the wall, the staff make you feel so welcome and I’m told if it’s a birthday you get the traditional Turkish fuss with the staff singing, dancing and banging the pots and pans! The menu is impressive with many Mediterranean dishes including Calamari, King prawns, Lamb shank,Guvenchi (stew),Fillet steak and Moussaka.

The drinks menu was impressive and included an amazing cocktail list and an extensive wine list which included speciality wines and beers including some Turkish favourites such as Eﬀes lager and Kavaklidare Yakut red wine. For our starter we wanted to try a few dishes we hadn’t tried before so decided on the sharing platter for two. Which consisted of Sucuk which is a mild spiced Turkish sausage ,Peyniri Borek which is small parcels of ﬁlo pastry containing Feta cheese and fresh parsley, plenty of grilled pitta bread and Houmous as well as fresh Tzatziki dip and side

For our main course we decided on the Mixed kebab and the Likya special. The Likya Special came with chargrilled chunks of tender marinated chicken, lamb shish, lamb kofta, a tender tasty lamb chop, grilled Turkish sausage and king prawns which were in the most delicious sauce! To add to the death by meat feast the special came with pitta bread, rice, beautiful dressed salad and a delicious garlic and mint yoghurt,unfortunately I couldn’t ﬁnish it but it was divine.

was absolutely delicious but we agreed the Likya special just pipped it to the post, this was recommended by the waiter and it was deﬁnitely a good choice!

service we received that we can’t wait to return, we hope people will use it to ensure this amazing restaurant thrives as it is such an amazing asset to Flint and surrounding areas!

We were not going to have dessert but was tempted when oﬀered traditional Baklava and ice cream and we were glad we did as the sweetness just ﬁnished the meal of perfectly! We were so impressed with the quality of the food and the ambiance of the restaurant, also the amazing

The Mixed kebab came with marinated cuts of chicken and lamb grilled and served on a pitta bread with rice,salad and a garlic and mint yoghurt dip again this

Unfortunately, we could not finish the home-made Chocolate Brownies and delicious cupcakes so we asked for a take out box and enjoyed them at home, We would both highly recommend the Café at Abakhan and will definitely be going back very soon! The Welsh Rarebit was amazing and the Cupcakes

r e v o Britain’s best c Dis

theme parks

rom Alton Towers to Legoland, this is our guide to the best British theme parks, highlighting the best roller coasters, character-led attractions and animal safaris.

Alton Towers Surrounded by 800 acres of grounds, Alton Towers was once the Staffordshire seat of the Earl of Shrewsbury. Today, the ruined neoGothic mansion is at the centre of the Alton Towers Resort, with four hotels and a water park as well as the famous rollercoasters. Ample rides make this a thrill-seekers dream. A new CBeebies themed hotel coming this summer will broaden the site’s appeal to an even younger audience.

engine, gained a new ride in 2017 with James and the Red Balloon taking the total to over 25. It also has Europe’s biggest Thomas shop, so leave your credit card at home. Besides the train rides on offer here, Sodor classic car rides and appearances from the Fat Controller himself (among many other attractions) super-fans can now stay in Thomas and Friends-themed family hotel rooms too. Elsewhere, the family-owned park retains a more traditional day-out feel with a clutch of thrill rides joined by a more sedate zoo, including a monkey walk and a group of photogenic meerkats.

Drayton Manor

Chessington World of Adventures

The Staffordshire theme park includes rides for all ages but stands out for having hit on a winning formula for young families with its expanding Thomas Land section. This part of the park, dedicated to the beloved tank

Chessington is overshadowed by Thorpe Park and Alton Towers in terms of big rides, but this attractions park in Surrey has injected novelty this year with the launch of its exclusive Gruffalo River Ride Adventure,

cementing its status as a familyfriendly destination. Bringing to life the popular Julia Donaldson tale, this immersive recreation of the mouse’s journey through the deep dark wood adds some storybook magic to the more standard theme park offerings found here. The park’s zoo and Sea Life centre provide added family value, with animal-based attractions including monkey walk-throughs and the Zufari safari experience.

Legoland Windsor If you’re looking for stomach-in-themouth rollercoasters, Legoland is not for you. This is the entry-level theme park for families with kids below the age of 12, with bucket-loads to keep toddlers happy. Now in its third decade and set in lovely grounds, the theme park (on the former site of Windsor Safari Park) still has some of the charm of the original Danish parent park, with plenty of giraffes, crocodiles and pirates made out of Lego bricks scattered among the rides.

The ‘Walking Dead’ ride at Thorpe Park

Wicksteed Pa

Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park Pleasurewood Hills theme park, set in 50 acres of coastal parkland near Great Yarmouth, offers eight “thrill” rides (including the stomach-churning Wipeout rollercoaster), daily sea lion and parrot shows and a good selection of “family” and “kiddie” rides. It has attractions to suit younger and older visitors - and it is cheaper than some other theme parks, even if you do not buy tickets online in advance.

Crealy Adventure Park, Devon Devon’s Crealy bills itself as the “south west’s number one family day out”, and with more than 60 rides and attractions set amongst picture-perfect English countryside, it’s a strong contender. The park has water rides, traditional fairground style attractions such as a carousel and swing rides, an animal barn and numerous play areas (indoor and outdoor). There’s something to keep most children entertained.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach Blackpool Pleasure Beach resembles Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound: roller coasters shooting off, screams, music and the fizzing of drinks - but it all coalesces into an intoxicating mix of unashamed joy. The park has been on Blackpool’s south shore since the 1890s and now has 125 rides and attractions, a dozen coasters (six of them wooden, topping anywhere else in Britain).

Wicksteed Park It may have been eclipsed in recent years by bigger and brasher contemporaries, but Wicksteed Park’s 47 acres of pretty open parkland, central lake, woodland path and relaxed pace offer a whole new generation of families the chance to make new memories without the pressure of an overly commercialised culture. Charmingly, many of the rides - from the go karts and bumper cars to crazy golf, Clip n Climb and zip wire - involve

Legoland Win

dsor

the whole family, so rather than a single focus on thrill seeking (though there’s plenty of that too) you’ll have fun as well as actually interact with one another. With easy access to the car park and rolling pastures, why not take a picnic? When the staff look to be having as much fun as the punters, you know you’re on to a winner!

Thorpe Park Situated near Chertsey, 20 miles from London, Thorpe Park is not for the faint-hearted. It has some of the biggest roller coasters in Europe and the rides here are built to scare. It is perfect for adrenalin junkies and thrill seekers, but there are limited alternatives for small children.
