Award-winning practice

ental implants can provide a huge benefit to your quality of life if you have missing teeth. While many people think they are destined to struggle with ill-fitting removable dentures for the rest of their days, implant dentistry can help you regain comfort, function, and confidence.

With more than 20 years of experience in providing the All-on-4® fixed solution for missing teeth, one80 Dental has officially been honoured with All-on-4® Centre of Excellence by Nobel Biocare, a highly limited accolade, marking the practice as a trusted provider of the service.

What are All-on-4® Centres of Excellence?

Implant manufacturer Nobel Biocare, responsible for the first dental implants back in the 1970s, was the first to support the All-on-4® technique. This revolutionary approach allows for the rehabilitation of many more people for whom a conventional approach to dental implants is either not available or additionally complex, due to lack of bone.

Following its success, Nobel Biocare now awards practices which can be trusted to provide a quality All-on-4® service, recognising them as Centres of Excellence.

one80 Dental is delighted to receive this recognition as one of only 33 centres across the UK, Europe, and Scandinavia.

One80 Dental is the only Centre of Excellence in the Sheffield, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire area, as well as the West of England.

What are the benefits of All-on-4 dental implants?

All-on-4® provides many quality-of-life benefits – restoring your confidence and function and allowing you to eat what you like without worrying.

The procedure typically avoids bone grafting, which reduces the need for complex surgery, and there is minimal discomfort or pain. Using just four implants in each jaw can also reduce overall costs, making it more affordable than some implant options.

OFFERING BOTH DENTAL AND COSMETIC TREATMENTS, GREEN SQUARE DENTAL PROVIDE FRIENDLY, BESPOKE CARE IN A COMFORTABLE, RELAXING ENVIRONMENT.

odern dentist surgeries are far from the clinical, soulless vessels you may remember from your youth but are now warm, welcoming spaces where patients are put immediately at ease.

Green Square Dental on Rotherham’s Moorgate is the perfect example of a modern surgery and is warm and welcoming and has recently been enhanced by a recent refurbishment. They worked with Samantha Waterhouse Interiors to create a new design and the waiting room now offers a luxurious, boutique styled lounge which includes a new refreshments bar, serving speciality coffee, teas and chilled water.

Using the colours from the interior design, Green Square Dental rebranded their logo and signage to match.

Green Square Dental and Implant Centre, to give it its full title, opened in 2016 and from the very beginning had the intention of ensuring that they cared for their patients as if they were family.

“Being a family-run business means that we truly care about each and every person that walks through our doors, said principal dental surgeon Duncan Park. “From the moment they are greeted by our friendly reception team, the experience begins.”

The surgery provides private dentistry across Rotherham, Sheffield and surrounding areas, including Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop and Retford.

Whether you require a general checkup appointment or you are interested in restoring or improving your smile with a range of cosmetic dentistry or dental implants, their highly trained and caring private dental team will listen to your requirements and discuss all possible treatment options.

“By seeing you and your family on a regular basis, we can keep a close eye on your precious teeth and make sure any potential problems are spotted as early as possible,” added Duncan. “This preventive approach helps to keep your dental health in great condition and can mean

that more extensive and costly treatment are avoided.

“We will really get to know you (and your mouth) and teach you handy dental care techniques so you can look after your teeth between appointments, as well as offering dietary and general well-being advice. If we do identify any issues, we offer a full range of treatments to restore your teeth and keep them healthy.”

You may consider having some type of cosmetic dentistry to straighten, lighten, reshape or repair teeth. Which treatment option you have will depend on your teeth and what you would like to change. Green Square Dental’s cosmetic treatments include a comprehensive consultation to fully explain all of your treatment options. This allows you to make an informed decision about how to take the next step towards your perfect smile.

The surgery also specialises in dental implants, which are used as a permanent solution to replace missing teeth, to enhance your smile and boost your confidence, improve your facial shape, improve speaking and chewing ability, and to avoid denture-related issues such as messy adhesives, gum irritation or movement.

From the great location to the comfortable waiting area, ample free parking, late night and Saturday opening and an attentive team, everything at Green Square Dental has been designed with you in mind.

Who’s in the running?

t’s been billed as the ‘biggest culinary event of the year’ and now we’re only weeks away from finding out who will be taking the honours at this year’s Westside & Southside Bar & Restaurant Awards.

This year’s event will be once again held at the OEC – Owlerton Events & Conferencing – which has proved to be a big hit with our guests for the last couple of years.

The OEC is an ultra-modern and exciting venue, making it the perfect spot for large-scale parties, weddings and celebrations of all kinds. So, of course, it’s ideal for the local restaurant world’s biggest and glitziest celebration night!

Our annual awards dinner, which takes place on Monday 30 October, is a highlight of the calendar for everyone in the restaurant business. Along with Westside’s yearly printed guide to the regional dining out scene, which appeared in our June magazine, it is part of our commitment to helping you find the best.

For chefs and restaurateurs across

the region, being singled out for praise in the Westside & Southside Awards is a sure sign that they are hitting all the right culinary notes.

The winners of all categories, including the coveted Restaurant of the Year title, will be announced on the night. As this issue goes to press, our judges are doing their final assessments of the region’s finest restaurants, and are about to make their decisions in the various categories.

As well as our usual list of awards, we will be announcing the winner of our ‘Young Chef of the Year’ competition and there will also be some special awards for ‘Out of Town’ restaurants, which will also be revealed on 30 October.

We’ll be tweeting the results on the night and there will, of course, be a full report in next month’s Westside. Meanwhile, on the next page is a list of who is in contention for the main awards.

Good luck to all the restaurants shortlisted.

And you can be there too…

The Westside & Southside Restaurant and Bar Awards has grown over the years into one of the highlights of the social calendar and this year’s event promises to be the biggest and best yet. By hosting the event at the OEC, we have room to expand and increase the number of people in the room on the night. And this means we can invite readers to come along and enjoy some fantastic food and drink and share in the excitement as we reveal the 2023 winners.

If you would like to attend, even treat your team to an early Christmas party, tickets are priced £60+VAT each or you can purchase a table for ten for £550+VAT. Email john.murphy@rmcmedia.co.uk for further details.

High expectations

SUNDAY

LUNCH AT DUNSTON HALL GARDEN CENTRE & BISTRO CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO RICHARD ABBEY.

Word of mouth recommendations are important to any business but can really make a difference in hospitality, where a good review can drive people to your business in their droves.

We like to think that we do our bit here at Westside but it was only a few weeks ago that I was talking to someone very well respected within the industry who recommended the Sunday lunches at The Bistro at Dunston Hall Garden Centre.

So it was with great anticipation that we headed to this picturesque part of Chesterfield to see if this high praise was indeed justified.

The Bistro at Dunston Hall Garden Centre is a large, airy and thoroughly modern dining space with a contemporary tiled floor, wooden chairs and tables, smart exposed brickwork and a relaxed, buzzing atmosphere helped in no small degree by a team of friendly, enthusiastic staff who ensure service is never slack.

Sunday lunch is clearly a popular option with many of the tables taken as we arrived for our afternoon feast.

The a la carte menu features the option of three starters and three desserts with roast dinners

complemented by offerings of burger, fish and chips as well as vegetarian choices.

A traditional roast was definitely on our agenda with diners being able to choose from beef, pork or gammon, although there is an option of having all three on a ‘butcher’s board’. All meat is sourced from nearby Highfield House Farm and comes with roast potatoes, honey roasted carrots and parsnips, creamed cabbage and pancetta, seasonal greens and a Yorkshire pudding.

But first starters. My wife opted for a crayfish and salmon cocktail (£7.50), which was served with marie rose and baby gem lettuce, whilst I chose ham hock and cheddar croquettes (£6.50) served with parmesan cream and watercress. Both were excellent, delivering on both flavour and finesse and were quickly devoured.

On to the main event and we chose loin of pork and honey and mustard glazed gammon (both £16.95) as well as a side dish of cauliflower cheese (£3.95). When our plates arrived the first thing we noticed was the size of our Yorkshire puddings (huge) but loved all the different elements of the dish – crisp roasties, sweet carrots and parsnips and the cabbage was delicious too. I loved

my thick slice of gammon which had subtle sweet and spicy flavours courtesy of the honey and mustard whilst the well-cooked pork was complemented by stuffing and crackling.

As good as it was, given the size of the portions we struggled to finish every last mouthful but wanted to leave room for dessert, although we had to share. We were glad we did.

The sticky toffee pudding (£6) was sweet and sticky and the perfect way to end the meal. A coffee (flat white, £2.85) and tea (Egyptian mint, £2.80) concluded our pleasant afternoon. We were seriously impressed by the quality of food on offer. Our high expectations were fulfilled and then some.

Winning recipe

t’s been a winning recipe for over 20 years now… when you are longing for an instant hit of Mediterranean sunshine, head straight for the Greedy Greek.

This friendly, relaxed restaurant has become a fixture on the always-busy Sharrow Vale Road, with its attractive mix of independent shops, restaurants, cafes and takeaways, and it remains as popular as ever.

The reasons? Well for me it’s the food primarily but you can’t take what’s on the plate in isolation. The Greedy Greek experience is all about the relaxed surroundings as much as the delicious delicacies on offer.

Close your eyes for a moment and you could easily be sat in your favourite Greek island taverna, sheltering from the scorching sun and watching sail boats bobbing on the horizon.

This is properly relaxed dining and that means embracing the mezze concept and doing away with the whole ‘starters followed by mains’ format. Just order what you fancy, start tucking in as soon as the first dishes arrive and let everybody share everything.

If you haven’t ordered enough dishes just request a few more… although your main issue will probably be the opposite. Portions are definitely on the generous side.

We ordered half a dozen small plates and one large between two and by the time everything arrived found our table full to overflowing. But there was no rush, where else were we going to go on a close and cloudy Sunday afternoon? Over the course of two hours we ate and chatted and found winning combinations of flavour and texture at every turn.

I’ve heard it suggested that Greek food is “a bit samey” but those lazy stereotypes fail to do justice to the sheer scope and variety of dishes on offer. Spanakorizo (£6.90) was certainly a new one on me – this herby, heavenly mix of spinach, leek, spring onion, feta and risotto rice is a new favourite. Lemon artichokes (£6.90) cooked with olive oil, lemon juice, peas, carrots and leeks came with a real punch of citrus as did the Greek lemon potatoes (£6.90).

We were on more familiar ground with the stuffed peppers (£6.90), bulging with rice, vegetables, herbs and feta and the melitzano salalta (£5.40), a smokes aubergine dip just crying out to be smothered on crisp, toasted pitta bread and scoffed. Bite-sized spanakotyropita, the ever-popular spinach and feta pie, and tyropita, the cheese and egg version (£1.70 each) were crunchy on the outside and packed with deeply savoury fillings.

The centrepiece of our very busy table was the mixed plate meal (£19.50), a chance to sample the best of the various meat dishes on offer. A winning mix of crispy roast pork, juicy meatballs, and a beautifully tender skewer of chicken breast, surrounded by pitta bread, Greek salad, tzatziki and strofilla, it transformed our humble, tavern-style meal into a banquet.

Dessert after that savoury feast? Normally I’d decline but it’s impossible to say no to the classic baklava (£6.50), and the Greedy Greek version, dripping with honey and stuffed with walnut pieces, was one of the best. Along with a slice of the Greek orange cake with filo pastry and orange syrup (£6.50) it rounded off a lovely, leisurely Sunday afternoon perfectly.

STEP BACK IN TIME AT CHESTERFIELD’S 1940S-THEMED MARKET.

ead into Chesterfield on Thursday 2 November and you might be forgiven for thinking you’ve stepped back in time. But don’t be worried that ‘wartime’ has returned to the town centre, it’s just the 1940sthemed market, which takes place every year.

This is the 11th time that the event has taken place, having first started in 2012

as a flea market that had a 1940s theme. Since then, the market has grown to become the event we know today and is expected to attract around 20,000 visitors, all coming to enjoy the street entertainment, market and other exhibits.

The must-see attraction at this year’s event is the replica spitfire which can be seen in Rykneld Square (opposite the Visitor Information Centre). There will

also be a display of classic cars, a vintage fire engine and a variety of other entertainment around the town centre to see including an escapologist.

There will be street performers, with the Kalamazoo dance band back again by popular demand, and Chesterfield Museum staff will be attending with handling objects from their World War Two education box, as well as doing a

make do and mend activity with Transition Chesterfield.

Other confirmed attendees include The Daisy Belles, Jayne Darling and Johnny Victory.

Councillor Kate Sarvent, cabinet member for town centres and visitor economy, said: “Visitors to the market are encouraged to get into the spirit and dress-up in traditional 40s outfits where possible, although this is not essential! This is a fantastic event, and everyone is welcome to attend. There are not many events you can go along to where you can see this much free entertainment, so why not give it a try if you haven’t been before.”

The 1940s Market, which falls within half-term, has become one of Chesterfield’s most popular town centre

events. It is great for vintage fans, but there is a range of entertainment on offer for the whole family.

After being confined to the market place when it first started, the event now stretches to New Square, Rykneld Square (outside the Visitor Information Centre) and the Pavements Centre.

As with any large-scale event, there’s lots of planning that goes into the 1940s Market and lots of people involved, as Kate explains: “Hundreds of people are involved from an organisation point of view – this includes all of the street performers, those coming to display their vintage vehicles, council officers such as the events team, markets team and community safety – and then thousands of people coming into the town to enjoy what has been organised.

“There is lots on offer to entertain the whole family. From seeing the replica Spitfire, to singing along with 1940s music or make do and mend activities –there is lots going on to interest many different tastes. “

Dressing up is a huge part of the market; there’s a best-dressed trader competition, plus members of the public are encouraged to dress up if they’d like to, although this isn’t essential.

“We expect that there will be around 100 of our Flea Market traders standing at the 1940s Market and lots of them do get into the spirit of the event and take part in the best dressed trader competition,” added Kate.

“Each year the market will have slightly different street performers and other activities going on but we expect

that the replica Spitfire will be a big draw for people wanting to both see the plane and have their photos taken alongside it.”

Chesterfield has a range of events happening throughout the year, of which the 1940s Market is one of them. Events like this are really important to the town for a lot of reasons. Not only is it a great

opportunity to support the market traders both on the outdoor market and in the Market Hall but it’s also a great way to encouraging people to shop local and support the town’s many independent retailers too.

“We are committed to providing a varied entertainment schedule for our residents and visitors, with many

activities being offered at no charge,” said Kate. “We understand that times are tough with the cost of living currently so anything we can do to support families is important to us.”

There are lots more events planned by Chesterfield Council in the run-up to Christmas. These include visitors being able to experience Santa’s Grotto in the Market Hall, a variety of specialist markets and the Christmas Lights Switch On and Market.

But before you start giving Christmas a second thought, head to Chesterfield this month and experience your very own ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’ moment.

Chesterfield’s 1940s Market takes place on Thursday 2 November, 10am-3.30pm. Visit www.chesterfield.gov.uk to find out more.

Elevate your house to a home with Nest

hoosing the lighting, furniture and soft furnishings for your home is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding tasks. It provides the opportunity for owners and renters alike to put their own personal style stamp on a property, and to officially elevate it from a house to home status.

And while finding just the right mix of practical yet stylish statement items can prove challenging, if done right it can provide a living space that allows us to live comfortably, work efficiently, as well as entertaining friends.

From cushions to chandeliers and candles to cabinets, through to beds and bathroom accessories, the designs that we choose provide our guests with a little insight into who we are, and what we love.

For those of us living in Sheffield, there is probably no better place to find our forever furniture pieces, or to seek inspiration for our own properties, than at Nest’s stunning new dedicated design destination at Park Hill.

Spanning an impressive 3,500 sq. ft, and boasting an outdoor front and rear terrace, with the interior having been designed by the internationally acclaimed interior designer Harriet Paterson, the

showroom is every bit as impressive as the furniture on display.

The design incorporates a purposebuilt staircase, sympathetic to the space with an industrial style, perforated folded steel softened with natural oak treads.

For staff and customers, a sleek and compact open-plan kitchen area also features.

Walking through the fully glass front entrance, visitors are immediately welcomed by one of the expert customer service style gurus, and greeted with the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Take just a few more steps in, and you can try out one of the many beautiful chairs, sofas, bed or stools available to touch, feel and experience.

Commenting on the showroom and the furniture on display, Toni Anne Dunleavy, Managing Director, Nest, said: “Perhaps I am biased because of where I work, but I would argue that there are few things in life more enjoyable than designing a home that reflects who we are, and where we feel comfortable and safe.

“Every piece of furniture, every lighting choice, and all of the soft furnishings and accessories that we choose can really add to that ambiance,

so while many of our customers opt to shop online, others relish the in-person experience, and they like to come into our showroom to look and feel and seek inspiration before they buy.”

Toni adds that as Nest partners with designers who create beautiful design pieces that are stylish, inspirational, and built to last, it was really important to the team that the showroom reflected that ethos.

She added: “We wanted to create a space where people could make themselves at home, and Park Hill provided us with the perfect space.

“The building itself is a truly iconic staple on the city’s skyline, it’s thought provoking, and it holds a special place in the hearts of the people that own it and use it.

“Much of what we sell invokes a similar reaction, so it was the perfect place to call home.”

Toni Anne Dunleavy is the Managing Director at luxury furniture, lighting and homeware experts Nest.co.uk Ltd. The new design showroom at the iconic Park Hill development is open Monday to Saturday: 10am to 4pm (Closed Sundays and Bank Holidays).

Charity fundraising challenge

S.Anselm’s school in Bakewell has led the charge in a charity fundraising campaign, which to date has raised over £25,000 for the Rob Burrow Centre Appeal.

The challenge, which set out to raise £10,000 came about following the diagnosis of Dr Louise Jordan, widely known across north Derbyshire for her work as a doctor - and as the star of the BBC documentary, The Real Peak Practice, which was filmed in 2017.

A hugely active and popular member within the local community, many of Louise’s friends and associates came together to support a fundraising mission for her chosen charity, the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), part of the Leeds Hospital Trust.

The challenge saw pupils from S.Anselm’s host various sponsored activities including a ‘Walk the Equator’ challenge, which clocked up over 14,000 km miles collectively from across the school.

To further boost the fundraising events a team of 14 adults to include parents and teachers from S.Anslem’s, St Anne’s in Bakewell and St Peter’s & St Paul’s in Chesterfield set out to walk the National Three Peaks, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in just 24 hours.

To date the challenge has raised over £25,000.

IS VOLKSWAGEN’S ‘GTI’ ABOUT TO GET THE ELECTRIC TREATMENT? ASKS RICHARD ABBEY.

Electric GTI

At the recent Munich international motor show, Volkswagen confirmed that they will launch 11 new all-electric models in the next four years, including sporty and emotive GTI versions of selected models from the all-electric ID. family.

The ID. GTI Concept show car presented for the first time in Munich provides a concrete insight into how Volkswagen will transport the iconic GTI label into the electric future.

“The perfect combination of driving pleasure and everyday usability – that is what the three letters GTI have meant for decades,” says Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars.

“With the ID. GTI Concept, we are taking the GTI DNA into the electric age. It remains sporty, iconic, technologically progressive and accessible, but now with a new interpretation for tomorrow’s world.”

Next generation

Companion to the recently introduced Coupe, the new Aston Martin DB12 Volante combines spectacular Super Tourer performance and handling with the irresistible sensory thrills of roofdown driving.

Developed in parallel with its Coupe stablemate, DB12 Volante boasts the same game-changing design, engineering and technology advances made by this latest evolution of Aston Martin’s most distinguished nameplate.

The Volante’s performance credentials speak for themselves. Best-in-class potency from its 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine endows DB12 Volante with formidable performance and a fabulous soundtrack. Tuned by Aston Martin engineers to deliver class-leading 680PS/671bhp at 6000rpm and 800Nm/590lb ft between 2750-6000rpm, this exceptional hand-built engine features modified cam profiles, optimised compression ratios, larger turbos, and increased cooling to achieve an increase in output of 34 per cent compared with the DB11.

Giant steps

Also unveiled in Munich was the all-new MINI Countryman, offered for the first time with choice of a fully electric or combustion engine.

Now in its third generation, the largest member of the MINI family has grown in stature, gaining six centimetres in height and 13 centimetres in length.

The first all-electric Countryman mark’s a pivotal step on MINI’s journey towards becoming an all-electric brand.

The all-electric MINI Countryman is offered in two performance levels – _E and SE ALL4 with, the combustion powered Countryman available in three levels – _C, S ALL4 and JCW ALL4 model. Customers in the UK have the choice of three highly specified trims: Classic, Exclusive and Sport. The new MINI Countryman is priced from £28,500 RRP, with first deliveries taking place in February 2024.

Hyper excited

Lotus has unveiled the Emeya, the company’s first electric four-door hyper-GT.

Emeya is setting a new benchmark for how a Lotus drives and feels by combining the company’s 75-year expertise in engineering and design with the latest advanced innovations.

This includes advanced and active aerodynamic features such as the pioneering active front grille, rear diffuser and rear spoiler. All this, combined with a low centre of gravity that Lotus calls ‘hyperstance’, enhances stability when driving, and sets a new standard in the GT segment for ride and handling excellence.

Emeya has an electronically controlled air suspension system. Its advanced onboard sensors feel the road 1,000 times a second and automatically adjust the vehicle to ensure the smoothest ride.

The top specification model for Emeya features Lotus’ high-power dual motor set-up that delivers a top speed of more than 155mph and can accelerate from 062mph in under 2.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest electric GTs in the world.
