Cold comfort BRING SOME WARMTH INTO YOUR HOME THIS WINTER, SCANDI-STYLE.

BY RHIANA HUGHES.

s the sun starts to set on our unusually hot summer, you’re probably thinking of ways to warm up your home for the winter. Just like us Brits, Scandinavians see plenty of light in the summer months but very little in the winter, and it’s this that inspires the way they design their homes.

Incorporating clean lines and a blend of textures, contrasts and soft hues, the Scandinavians turn what could seem cold modern furniture into warm and inviting pieces of décor.

So whether you want to submit to the winter chill and wrap up by the fire or whether you’re still clinging onto summer and want to bring the outdoors in, you’re sure to find plenty here to get your home Scandi-styled.

PROMOTION

or the past 40 years, Deepcar Home Improvements have been providing their customers with top-quality products and customer service from their Manchester Road showroom. Owner, Ian Clancy established the business in September 1978, and today continues to run the business with the help of his family and wonderful team.

Having grown up in a farming family, Ian hadn’t always considered a career in home improvement.

It wasn’t until he began working for a window company at the age of 17 that his fate was realised, and his passion for the industry grew year by year until it only made sense to start his own business.

Deepcar Home Improvements offer a long list of products and services to their customers.

Whether you’re in the market for new windows, doors, one of their bespoke conservatories, or even an extension, they’ve got the perfect products to make your house the home you’ve always wanted; and they’ll make sure that whatever you choose, it’s perfectly fitted.

It’s all well and good that companies these days have websites full of products for you to browse, but nothing is quite the same as being able to see and feel the quality of a product in person, and having someone share their expertise on each product with you.

With years of experience comes a level of invaluable knowledge, and the whole team at Deepcar Home Improvements take pride in the fact that not only do they provide the best products to their customers, but the best service too.

“Everyone that walks through the door is offered a cuppa” says Ian. Walking into Deepcar Home Improvements is like walking into the home of someone you’ve known for years. There’s always a warm welcome and a smile waiting for you on the other side of the door.

An immense amount of care is taken by the team before and after the job is done, and their customers are treated just like another member of the family. The team will do their best to help you find the perfect products for your home, and they’ll offer you a 10 year warranty once you’ve found just what you need. So why go to a big chain when you can support a local family business, who in turn can support you?

Deepcar Home Improvements have a wide range of popular, high-quality brands in their fantastic showroom and they welcome you to come and pay them a visit to see for yourself just what they can do for you.

PROMOTION

Proud to help WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO SHOP AT PJ SISMAN ELECTRICAL, YOU’LL GET HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS – AND PRICELESS ADVICE. wner of PJ Sisman Electrical, Philip Sisman took over the store from its previous owners and his former employers in 1976 when they decided to retire. Philip started work at what was then known as Coopers Radio and TV in 1965 at the age of 15, and as he says, “the rest is history”.

The Wicker store really has become an integral part of the community and its real, old-fashioned charm is part of what keeps their customers coming back time and time again. The brilliant reputation of PJ Sisman Electrical has continued to grow under Philip’s ownership, so much so that they’ve recently expanded the business and opened up a second store on Middlewood Road in Hillsborough.

Philip’s son, Adam, has been working at PJ Sisman for the past 25 years, and Philip hopes that when the day comes for him to retire, his son will be the one to take over the family business. For now though, the two work together to run the shops, splitting their time equally between the two locations for a change of pace.

O

HEROES

Skiddaw and Thirlmere from the flanks of Helvellyn

Feeling on top of the world AFTER OVERCOMING LEUKAEMIA – TWICE – CHRIS CLARKE TOOK ON A MONUMENTAL CHALLENGE TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE CHARITY HE CREDITS WITH SAVING HIS LIFE, WRITES RICHARD ABBEY. hen you’re stood on a knife edge, 3,000 feet up one of England’s highest mountains, Helvellyn, you do get a certain perspective. And not just a literal one but an emotional one too. For 31-yearold Chris Clarke, it was a stand-out moment in his life.

In fact, Chris, a Chapeltown native, was thankful to be there at all after being diagnosed with leukaemia, a form of blood cancer, not once, but twice, the first time at just nine years old.

See what I mean about perspective? To have the strength and support to deal with something like that at such a young age is testament to us all. As we catch-up in the comfort of a Broomhill coffee shop, it’s hard to fathom just what he’s gone through and how it’s affected not just his life but his family’s too. He’s happy, humble and, in a word, inspirational. He admitted that it’s only now that he appreciates what everyone has done for him, “I’m proud to have my friends and family,” says Chris. “It’s only when you get a bit older

you start to think what’s my mum and dad been through, what’s my brother been through… even the donor himself, what’s he been through, does he know he’s actually saved someone’s life?

“I’d also like to say a big thank you to my consultant Dr Vora and ward M3. The nurses were amazing, it wasn’t a hospital environment as such, they didn’t make it like that.”

Chris was first diagnosed seemingly by chance. “I used to play football at Oughtibridge and I was always tired and cold and wanted to come off at half time,” he recalls. “I used to get a lot of stick about that, as you do at that age, but I ended up going to the GP and getting some blood tests done.

“I was just about to go out sledging when the GP knocked on the front door and said ‘you need to go to hospital now’. So I went to the Northern General, had some more blood tests done and then shipped to the Children’s straight away, not really knowing why.”

It was here that Chris was tragically

diagnosed but treatment was started straight away and after year it was confirmed he was in remission. A holiday to America followed, courtesy of the Make A Wish Foundation, a non-profit organisation who arrange experiences described as ‘wishes’ to children diagnosed with critical illnesses. Family life had started to return to some sort of normality.

But two weeks after returning, tragedy struck. Again. His leukaemia had returned.

“That was the day, I thought to myself, I can’t go through it again, the treatment everything like that,” says Chris. “The treatment is sometimes worse than the illness, it was horrible.

“I got 100 per cent radiotherapy everywhere. Then I was down for a bone marrow transplant and they had to look for a donor. All my family were tested but no-one was a match. A couple of months after that we got a phonecall to say they’d found a 98 per cent match, so we went with that.”

Chris’s biggest thank you – and the reason why he was stood on top of a mountain – is perhaps best reserved for Anthony Nolan, a charity who use a register to match potential stem cell donors to blood cancer and blood disorder patients in need of transplants, whom he credits with saving his life.

A stem cell transplant is offered to patients who have a condition that affects their bone marrow or blood and is often their best chance of survival. Healthy stem cells are introduced via the bloodstream where they begin to grow and create healthy red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

It sounds straightforward but was far from it, explains Chris: “It wipes your whole system – I got a new blood group. The bad thing is your organs reject it because it’s new everything so I had to stay in a room for a couple of months and only my mum, a doctor and nurse were allowed in. I was in a coma for a week, I caught pneumonia, I’m epileptic.

It was horrific.”

Thankfully, the transplant worked and Chris made a recovery. Despite missing a fair chunk of school, which he described as “hard”, with the help of a tutor he caught up and now works, ironically, for the NHS. After starting out in medical records at the Hallamshire, he’s now a business analyst at the Northern General where his responsibilities include, among other things, improving patient care, something he is very proud of.

It’s this pride, and recent contact with his anonymous donor, that inspired Chris to raise money for the charity. A keen walker, he decided to take on a challenge as part of their Walking Together fundraising campaign – and roped a few of his friends in for good measure.

After plenty of research, he settled on the 3000 Sunset Challenge, which sees walkers climb England’s four highest peaks – Skiddaw, Helvellyn, Scafell and Scafell Pike – in

daylight hours. It was a total ascent of 3,000m and length of about 25 miles which took them over some of the toughest terrain in the Lake District, including Ullock Ridge on Skiddaw and Striding Edge (the ‘knife edge’) on Helvellyn. It wasn’t challenge for the faint-hearted.

“We had about six months to train,” explains Chris. “We did a lot in the Peak District, joined a gym and did the Yorkshire Three Peaks a couple of times. We started on Skiddaw mountain at 4.30am. The scout took us up something that was literally like this” – Chris gestures with his hand the steepness of the incline – “for about an hour. One of the lads was dropping far, far behind and I’m thinking ‘what are we doing?’. It was a shock to the system.”

Press on they did though and despite a couple dropping out through severe cramp, one of which was Chris’ older brother Nick, the group completed the walk in about 14 and a half hours, which broke the record for the walk with the organisers, Lakeland Mountain Guides.

“I’m chuffed to bits. All in all it was a very tough challenge but really satisfying,” says

Chris. “The lads enjoyed it and I think we raised about £2,800. Some want to do something next year.”

It wasn’t the toughness, or the heatwave in which they completed the challenge, that was the stand-out memory though for Chris, who explains: “We came down the second one and what was really nice was some random bloke coming towards us and giving us £20. He saw us wearing the [Anthony Nolan] t-shirts, didn’t know us but obviously recognised the charity. That kind of thing spurred us on.”

On their return, Chris and friends hosted a party at The Wharncliffe Arms who had been instrumental in raising money for the charity too – they raised over £1,000 themselves. No doubt a pint was well deserved.

We’ll certainly raise a glass to Chris, a true hero and inspiration to us all.

Anthony Nolan has 700,000 donors on register.

Pre-nuptial agreements – just how binding are they?

ZOE ROUND IS AN ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR IN THE SHEFFIELD FAMILY TEAM AT IRWIN MITCHELL PRIVATE WEALTH. SHE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT PRE AND POST-NUPS AND ADVISES THE REGION’S FAMILIES ON HOW TO APPROACH THESE SORTS OF AGREEMENTS. HERE SHE DISCUSSES THE COMMON QUESTION, ARE PRE OR POSTNUPS WORTH THE PAPER THEY ARE WRITTEN ON? t’s now eight years since the case of Radmacher was heard by the Supreme Court. This was the case that changed the landscape in relation to prenuptial agreements – and yet I’m still often asked “is a pre-nup worth the paper it’s written on?”

And I answer, “Yes, a pre-nup can often carry a lot of weight. But it depends what it says and how it was entered into…”

As with many aspects of family law there are misconceptions and myths. For example, the myth of the “common-law spouse”.

Living together for a certain period does not automatically give people the same rights as a married couple. Also, the “quickie divorce” – there’s no such thing as that either, whatever the media may tell us.

In a world of misinformation and “fake news” it’s understandable that people don’t know much about the realities of pre-nups.

Not so very long ago they were considered unromantic, and reserved for Hollywood Alisters.

This is no longer the case. If done “right” pre-nups can be incredibly useful and can avoid the acrimony and uncertainty that come from the end of a marriage.

I

If a couple divorces without a pre-nup (or a post-nup – which is an agreement reached after the date of the marriage), the court has a very broad discretion to make financial orders. It can, for example, transfer properties from one person to the other, order the sale of a business or home and/or split pensions between the couple. It can order lifelong maintenance payments to be made from one person to the other. In coming to what it considers to be the right outcome, the court takes into account all the resources available.

This can include inheritances, whether these came in before the marriage, during it, or after separation. What the court believes to be the right outcome, might not be not what either party would have chosen.

A pre or post-nup allows a couple to exercise autonomy and to set the boundaries.

As long as each party comes out with enough to meet their needs, they can agree to protect things like family businesses or inheritances. A couple can also agree a clean break i.e. that the financial ties between them come to an end.

For a pre-nup to carry weight both people have to enter into it freely; they each have to

take their own legal advice and the agreement has to fall within the parameters of overall fairness. It can’t therefore provide that one person gets everything and the other receives nothing.

The court will not uphold a pre-nup which is so clearly unfair that it leaves one party in financial dire straits. A judge might instead alter the pre-nup to ensure there is a fair outcome, but this award might still be less generous than if there had been no pre-nup at all. The court is generally prepared to respect the fact that the parties have chosen to have their own agreement, and it tries not to trespass on this any more than is strictly necessary.

Leading ladies TONE HOUSE IS EMPOWERING WOMEN TO REACH THEIR FITNESS GOALS. OWNER KAYLEIGH MITCHELL – AND SOME SATISFIED CUSTOMERS – EXPLAIN HOW. or the last three years women across the S6 area and beyond have had the opportunity to experience personal training and small group fitness programs at TONE House, the ladies-only fitness club on Middlewood Road in Hillsborough.

During that time owner Kayleigh Mitchell, who has worked in the fitness industry for 16 years, has helped hundreds women achieve their health and fitness goals.

One of the most recent TONE House success stories has been Ema Garner, whose sense of wellbeing has soared since losing over six stones thanks to the personal training, one-to-one guidance and support, 30-minute circuits and nutritional programmes that are available to all TONE House clients.

“We are honoured and privileged to be able to provide a comfortable and relaxed environment where ladies can exercise with maximum confidence,” says Kayleigh.

TONE House’s team of experienced female trainers are passionate about health and fitness and strive to inspire every woman to reclaim vitality, energy and well-being. Their mission is to educate, motivate and support women with exceptional personal service.

TESTIMONIALS TONE House are dedicated and invested in each client’s success. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of their members say: “I’ve always been a very active person, but due to injury, I wanted to get back into exercise gently, with reassurance that I am doing to right movements for me.

“The staff at TONE House are always available, to help improve your confidence and adjust your technique, and all the members are friendly and encouraging - it’s a really lovely ‘family’ atmosphere.

“Since joining TONE House, my fitness levels are back to where they once were and I’ve even started climbing again, which is something I had given up due to injury. With gentle exercise and gradually building up my fitness levels, I’ve started to make permanent adjustments to my lifestyle.

“Come and feel the love and give TONE House a try. Everyone is so welcoming and you can go at your own pace - there’s absolutely no pressure.”

- Dianne Clough, Storrs “I’ve known Kayleigh for quite some time, so when she opened TONE House in place of its predecessor, of which I was previously a member, it was natural progression to join.

“The staff are very professional and attentive and members range from adolescents - I’ve recently enrolled my granddaughter, who is only 15 years old. I am aware that the oldest member is 92.

“A lot of people join TONE House to help manage an injury or illness, including myself; TONE HOUSE helps me manage my blood pressure, and what’s more, I thoroughly enjoy attending.

The team re-instil your motivation and you actually want to work-out, instead of sitting in the house watching television or cleaning.

“If you’ve been considering joining TONE House - get to it. I guarantee you’ll thoroughly enjoy it.”

- Christine Havenhand, Oughtibridge

Dine in style this Christmas FOX VALLEY – A FABULOUS NEW LOCATION FOR EATING OUT THIS FESTIVE SEASON. ince opening in June 2016, north Sheffield’s award-winning Fox Valley has quickly built up a reputation for its fantastic range of both national and independent stores – bringing a host of new brands to this part of South Yorkshire.

Now the north Sheffield shopping centre has launched a new Restaurant Quarter, strengthening the centre’s evening offer and making Fox Valley a fantastic new location for eating out.

The Fox Valley restaurants can all be found by the main entrance to the centre, close to the stunning bandstand and fountain area. This is also the location for the centrepiece of Fox Valley’s beautiful Christmas lights display, and with a packed line up of festive entertainment planned throughout November and December it really is the perfect location for an evening out.

Whether you’re planning a festive family get together or a relaxed evening out with friends or colleagues this season, the restaurants have got the perfect mix to suit every taste and budget. There is something for everyone, from cocktails with friends, a big family get together or even a wedding, Fox Valley has the right venue for you.

The centre is proud to be the home of the only Ponti’s Italian Kitchen restaurant outside London; the restaurant offers an authentic Italian experience and is one of a handful of UK restaurants to be awarded the coveted Ospitalità Italiana for its true Italian experience.

The delicious autumn/winter menu features rich risottos, delicious pasta dishes and perfect pizzas as well as some fabulous and authentic Italian fish and meat main courses including Cotoletta a la Milanese – there’s also a beautifully indulgent dessert menu. A special Christmas menu is also available and the private dining area is perfect for a festive get together.

The Fox Valley Restaurant Quarter also

S

features the newly opened Zorro Lounge which is proving a popular venue with its quirky interior design, relaxed atmosphere and great menu – from tasty brunches right through to dinner. The varied and delicious menu caters for all tastes with a great range of gluten-free and vegan options. Why not gather your friends and enter their weekly quiz night which takes place every Monday from 8pm?

If you prefer casual dining then KerbEdge is the place for you. Found next door to Ponti’s Italian Kitchen, KerbEdge also boasts a fabulous cocktail menu as well as some of the region’s tastiest burgers and some lovely local touches including “Hendos fries”. There is even a ping-pong table for after dinner fun and an open mic night every Tuesday from 7.30pm.

And joining the restaurant line up in November, just in time for those fabulous festive nights out, is Neo Med – a brand new concept Mediterranean style restaurant which can be found next to Hummingbird Bridal Studio.

Neo Med’s carefully curated menu caters to all tastes and occasions featuring tapas, grilled specials, pasta and seafood specials as well as homemade pizzas and authentic Mediterranean dishes such as moussaka. The restaurant will be open for Christmas Day for advance bookings – call 0114 288 8895 to book your table.

Also look out for some special offers at all restaurants including cocktail offers: 2-4-1 cocktails every day, 5-7pm and the last trading hour of the day at Ponti’s Italian Kitchen, any two cocktails only £9.50 Mon-Fri 5pm ’til 7pm at Zorro Lounge and 2 cocktails for £10 every day before 7pm at KerbEdge.

There are different food offers to be found every day too including “Pizza Monday” at Pontis Italian Kitchen, “Tapas Tuesday” at Zorro Lounge and “Wing it Wednesday” at KerbEdge. And with the beautiful Christmas Lights being switched on this month, where

could be better to host your seasonal get together?

Fox Valley look forward to seeing you soon for your big night out. Check the website for details of all stores and restaurants and their daily specials and offers www.foxvalleysheffield.co.uk

The Nags Head team launch the latest brew

Winter warmer BELGIAN BLUE FLOWS AGAIN FOR CHRISTMAS 2018.

hristmas arrives early for Bradfield Brewery fans – Belgian Blue is available once more!

Every year since it was first produced in 2005, this seasonal ale has grown in popularity and this year is gearing up to be the best yet. Farmers Belgian Blue is a 4.9 per cent ABV ale with Christmas berry overtones and a slight blue tint to the head, making it a well-loved and distinctive winter warmer.

This year’s first barrel of Belgian Blue was available at The Nags Head in late October and over 150 pints flew over the bar in just over two hours.

Farmers Belgian Blue was first created in 2005, the year Bradfield Brewery began operating. Head brewer Paul Ward, who continues to develop mouth-watering ales for Bradfield Brewery, came up with the brew following his ambition to introduce something truly unique into the cask ale industry.

With the idea for a unique taste, Paul shopped around for the best tasting ingredients and many were tried before he settled with the winter berries. In the style of magical wonderland, these berries created the amazing taste and texture he was looking for, as well as looking stunning with its velvet colours and a truly unique blue-tinted head.

C

50 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

The name of the festive ale was an obvious choice, following on with the Famers Ale theme and naming their ales with different cattle breeds – the Belgian Blue breed sprung to mind and there it was born – Farmers Belgian Blue.

Belgian Blue is available in cask, bottles and five-litre mini kegs from Bradfield Brewery’s on-site shop. The shop opening hours are 8am-4pm Monday to Friday and 10am-4pm on Saturdays. The shop will also be opening 10am-2pm on Sundays and until 7pm on Thursday and Fridays, throughout

December, up to Christmas. December is also your chance to try before you buy with sampling weekends taking place, 10am-4pm on Saturdays and 10am-2pm on Sundays.

Whilst enjoying continuing success with their range of cask ales, Bradfield Brewery are also celebrating the opening of their second Brewery Tap, The King & Miller in Deepcar.

After acquiring the pub from Admiral Taverns in April this year, the Brewery carried out an intensive refurbishment of the venue, which re-opened its doors to the public last month.

Offering Farmers Ales from just £2.50 a

pint, the pub is managed by Natalie Wild and Tom Redman, who bring with them a wealth of experience in the hospitality industry.

Boasting a three-quarter size snooker table, wood-burning stove and family-friendly seating areas, the pub is proving popular with Bradfield Brewery fans and local residents.

The Kitchen is currently closed whilst further works are underway but it is hoped that there will be a food offering introduced in the new year.

John Gill, director of Bradfield Brewery, is delighted on the opening of a new brewery pub: “We were all excited here at Bradfield Brewery about the re-opening of the King & Miller. The pub has been at the centre of the local community for a very long time and I’m sure if walls could talk, they would have a quite few tales to tell. So now as a Bradfield Brewery pub with Tom and Natalie at the helm, this is a new chapter in the pub’s history.

“I would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to customers both old and new to come and be a part of this old public inn’s ongoing tale.”

Not forgetting the original Bradfield Brewery Tap, The Nags Head at Loxley also had something to shout about this summer with the celebration of ten years as a Bradfield Brewery Tap. A much-loved countryside retreat, the Nags Head is famous for its homemade pie and pint deal where you can get a generous helping of homemade pie served with chips and mushy peas or mashed potatoes and vegetables, with a free

Tom and Nat, the new managers at the King & Miller

pint of your favourite Farmers Ale for just £6.50. Food is currently served Tuesday to Sunday with pre-booking recommended as the tables soon get taken up. A Christmas Fayre menu will also be available throughout December.

It promises to be a busy run up to Christmas for Bradfield Brewery, keep up to date with new on brews and special offers by visiting their website at www.bradfieldbrewery.com or follow them on social media @bradfieldbrewery. You can also contact the brewery shop by telephone on 0114 285 1118.

FEATURE

Heart and soul ESTABLISHED FOR 30 YEARS, WISEWOOD JUNIOR FC IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE STANNINGTON COMMUNITY AND RECENTLY RAISED £3,500 TO PROVIDE THREE DEFIBRILLATORS.

L-R: Brian Smith, founder member of Wisewood Junior FC, and Alan Walker from The Village Store

FEATURE

ocal amateur football clubs are often the heart of a community – a focal point where people come together to celebrate a love of sport. But the very best can also reach out with a helping hand during times of tragedy.

That is certainly the case with Wisewood Junior FC, which began in 1988 with one team and now has over 25, ranging from six to 60-year-olds. This is an all-inclusive club with teams for veteran over-45s, girls and two disability teams.

As the club has grown in size and stature it has been ranked as a Community Standard football club, the highest standard you can achieve in football echelons.

Some of those teams have enjoyed great success, but beyond the goals and glory, at junior and adult levels, football has proved to be a great social medium both on and off the pitch.

Players and spectators alike have spent the last three decades forming strong bonds of friendship by playing with or against each other; some still continue to play into their 40s ,50s and even 60s and the latest

L

development is walking football.

Club chairman Steve Shepherd says: “Many lifelong friendships have been established through this happy medium of local community football and long may it continue.”

However, while the club has gone from strength to strength there have been some dark times, no more so than in 2014 when the local Stannington community lost four very good and very close friends, all aged in their early 50s, to prostate cancer, heart attacks and a brain aneurysm.

“They were all linked in the local community football scene either through playing, as spectators, or as unpaid volunteers.

They were the very heart and soul of the local community that we all live in and are very proud of,” says Steve.

In the years following these tragedies, this tight-knit community pulled together and monies were raised by friends, families, and colleagues from all walks of life. As a result various charities benefitted: Macmillan Cancer Support, Prostate Cancer UK and The British Heart Foundation.

“But we hope the main beneficiaries going forward will be the local community in Stannington,” Steve adds. “Now there is a community defibrillator sited outside The Village Store, which is registered with the Yorkshire Ambulance Service for the benefit of the local community.

“Many thanks to Alan and Tracey for allowing us to site the defibrillator outside The Village Store, and also to Paul Bobby Womack for the materials he donated and electrical installation work he carried out.

“We have also provided a defibrillator at both our junior football sites at Black Lane, Loxley and Ben Lane at Wisewood which, unfortunately, due to the remote nature of both facilities, are not available to the local community at this time except on match days.

“Hopefully we will never have to use them but it is good to know they are there and all players, officials and spectators will have the benefit.

“We raised in total £3,500 to provide the three defibrillators and we want to say a massive ‘thank you’ to those who helped us along the way.”

“Many lifelong friendships have been established through this happy medium of local community football and long may it continue.”

The local fundraisers who helped provide the £3,500 for three defibrillators included the following whose help was essential: • Wisewood parents who completed a sponsored run.

• Simon, Abbie, and Demi Mullen at The Peacock, Stannington.

• Minnie’s football team for the race night and fundraising event at the Rose and Crown, Stannington.

• The ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ charity boxing match between Brian Smith – “Mr Wisewood” – and Tony Crookes from Betfred.

• Family and friends for their support in attending the above events.

To use a defibrillator anyone can phone 999 and contact emergency services quoting the number on the box. They will be given the code number to open the box and remove the defibrillator.

Chapeltown Glass Window & Facia Company Crawshaw’s Butchers Crawshaw’s Butchers was founded by John’s father Brian when he opened their first shop in Stocksbridge in 1955. Even as a schoolboy, much of John’s spare time was spent working in the shop. “I always seemed to be working there,” he recalls.

John’s Saturday job in the shop was cleaning and washing down, from there he progressed to burger making. His “apprenticeship” swiftly developed into accompanying Brian to the wholesale market to select and purchase meat. In fact, you could say that his eye for quality and attention to detail in meat and food preparation is in is DNA. There are now also three directors as part of the Crawshaw team. Wayne Barker, married with two teenage sons, has worked at John Crawshaw’s for 23 years and you can usually find him in the Hillsborough shop. Wayne is a big football fan and an accomplished junior soccer coach.

Rob Howe is a local lad who has worked at John Crawshaw’s for over 14 years, during which time he has learned his trade and progressed through the ranks. Outside work, Rob is a dedicated family man with children Sophie and George to keep him busy – when he gets chance, Rob also enjoys gardening and keep fit.

Dean Heathcote has over 26 years’ service with John Crawshaw, another member of our team that has been with the business “man and boy”. Now a proud grandad, Dean enjoys a game of darts, a glass of beer and walking his dogs.

John Crawshaw says: “We strive to provide the finest locally farmed meats which are prepared to the highest standards by our highly skilled team. Plus we make a wide range of lovingly prepared home produce that tastes as good as it looks.”

Chapeltown Glass Window & Facia Company are Sheffield and South Yorkshire’s uPVC specialists and they pride themselves on their dedication to customers and attention to detail.

They have 35 years of experience and offer a first class, cost-effective and reliable service with competitive process, friendly professional staff and free quotations.

They only use high quality products installed by their own in-house fitters ensuring they provide a consistently high standard of service. In fact all their windows and doors come with a ten-year guarantee.

Get that festive feeling IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START PLANNING YOUR CHRISTMAS PARTY… SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

W

ith the first frosts closing in and summer holidays a distant memory, it can only mean one thing - the countdown to Christmas and the festive party season is

on.

This December, across the Sheffield City Region work colleagues will be putting on their glad rags and enjoying a drink – or two – together.

A well-organised party in a quality, popular venue can give dedicated, hard-working staff something fun to look forward to as the year draws to a close. It is not only good for team morale but a great bonding experience for all.

The key to a really good, memorable Christmas work ‘do’ is to make sure it is booked well in advance, so you’re not left to find out every venue is fully booked, leaving the only option to be an office party, telling cheesy Christmas cracker jokes whilst dancing around the photocopier to Bowie.

It doesn’t have to be the manager who is tasked with the booking of the party either. Hand the party planning over to the one in the office who loves to socialise, as they will relish the task of getting everyone on board and booking a fantastic Christmas party.

So whether it’s a lavish five-course spread at a top restaurant, a dinner and dance evening or a traditional turkey meal with all the trimmings at a cosy pub, there are plenty of venues to choose from that can accommodate your festive plans, whether you are a small business with a handful of staff, or a huge organisation with hundreds of employees.

So, no matter what the budget or scale of your party get into the Christmas spirit and get your party booked now.

If you’re short of ideas of what to do and where to host your Christmas party this year, take a look at some of the fabulous venues showcased over the next few pages.

TRAVEL

Beautiful Belgium MECHELEN IS THE PERFECT WEEKEND DESTINATION FOR A METROPOLITAN AND HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE. short flight from the UK – East Midlands airport with bmi to be exact – an 11-minute train direct from Brussels airport followed by a further 20-minute train journey through Antwerp makes the beautiful Mechelen super easy to get to.

Situated in the heart of Flanders, this pocket-sized city, is midway between Brussels and Antwerp, and is the perfect starting point to explore Burgundian heritage.

A light stroll around the city allows you to take in one sight after another as all her attractions are in walking distance of each other Full of historic buildings on it’s narrow streets, every step will take you back in time to the 16th century when Rumbold the missionary left the British Isles to preach his message of forgiveness and salvation, with his final destination being the settlement of Mechelen.

After his death, he was venerated as a saint and the monks founded St. Rumbold’s Abbey (whose bells ring loudly every seven-and-ahalf minutes) in honour of him.

Connected to the Abbey is St. Rumbolds Tower, an unfinished Gothic tower which is listed as UNESCO world heritage and offers a 360-degree view of the city. After climbing

A

a mammoth 537 steps, the view stretches from Antwerp to Brussels – perfect.

Starting your tour here you wouldn’t be disappointed with this beautiful gothic church housing Sir Anthony Van Dyck’s “Christ on the cross”, the Baroque furniture and many, many tombs. The Cathedral itself that is named after Rumbold, holds 25 paintings depicting his life.

If exploring and museums are your thing, the museum Hof van Busleyden houses a magnificent representation of the Burgundian era, all set in a Renaissance palace. Learn about the city that was once the capital of the Burgundian Netherlands – it was during this era the city was established as a front-runner in the world of craft and tapestries from all over the world are to this day sent for restoration.

The city also has a dark history. The Kazerne Dossin stands in memory of the many Jews and Romanies who were sent to Auschwitz from a transit camp here. The wall of faces is a stark reminder of the horrific consequences of war and persecution.

Fast-forward to a beautiful day and tour with a fabulously informative guide.

Modern architecture, street art, fantastic restaurants and, of course, craft beer Het Anker, brewed here in Mechelen, the only brewer in the city from which there was once

a hundred, are all to be enjoyed on a packed weekend trip. The majority of cafes are open from first to the last thing of the day. Local specialities, including cheese and chocolate, are both made from the famous popular beer.

Mechelen is the perfect weekend destination for a metropolitan and historical experience, a city that is home to both a palace and museum in one, having undergone a 23million Euro, nine-year refurbishment (www.hofvanbuselevden.be).

Finish off your history inspired day by dining at the amazing Cosima Foodhouse (www.cosima.be). Booking is advisable as it’s THE place to be. Huge portions with tapas style starter sharing plates are the only way to order.

Bmi flies from Newcastle to Brussels twice daily (not Saturdays) with fares from £86 one way. A huge 23kg of hold luggage is included along with allocated seats and complimentary in-flight drinks and snacks. www.flybmi.com Hotel Ve’ Mecure, an old refurbished fish smoking and cigarette factory, is a fabulously trendy hotel with their inspiration from the buildings past. www.hotelve.com/en/ www.visitflanders.com

BITS &S PIECE Bumfords bring the warmth

Race director Richard Dunk and organiser Alan Barnett with beenies and puds

Percy Pud in demand After the London Marathon and the Great North Run, which race in the UK sells out the quickest? You may be surprised to learn it is the annual Steel City Striders’ Percy Pud 10k in Loxley Valley.

This year’s race sold out its 3,000 places online in 2hrs 50 mins... a personal best for Percy!

Race director Richard Dunk increased the number of runners by 100 to 3,000 and this year the race will be held on Sunday 2 December. All finishers will receive a large luxury Christmas pudding and a packet of custard along with a runners’ lightweight soft touch Fluo Yellow Beenie Hat with the Percy Pud logo embroidered on the front.

The race from the Loxley Valley Park runs alongside the Damflask Reservoir to The Plough pub at Lower Bradfield and back.

Attracting hundreds of runners, some in Christmas hats and fancy dress, raising money for lots of local charities along with club runners, for all of them the race signals the start of Christmas.

Christmas fair Grenoside Scout and Guide Group will be holding their Christmas Fair and Coffee Morning on Saturday 24 November, 10.30am to 12.30pm, at the Scout and Guide Headquarters on Salt Box Lane, Grenoside, Sheffield. Come along and bring the kids to see Santa. There will be a raffle with some great prizes, including a VIP Quad Bike Session and £75 Meadowhall Voucher. Also a tombola, cakes and buns, stalls and more. Refreshments will be available from the BBQ. Entry is free and all proceeds go to Grenoside Scout and Guide Group.

Local Hoyland-based firm Bumfords have recently taken on their latest apprentice, 18-year old-data analyst Kai. Kai is originally from Chatham in Kent and attended St Wilfrid’s school in Featherstone.

Neil Bumford, Bumfords MD, said: “Kai will join our busy IT department supporting our online operations. Kai joins a long line of apprentices at Bumfords. Kai will help us move forward as a company in this digital age and we will help provide him with invaluable skills for his future work career.”

With autumn and winter fast approaching now is the time to consider re-lighting the open fire and woodburning stove.

Recent years have seen a resurgence in the installation of stoves and real fires.

You cannot beat the sound of crackling logs on a dark winters evening and real fires and stoves do heat up a room quickly.

Stoves can be fitted into an existing fireplace or can be placed in the corner of a room.

Stoves are available in a wide range of sizes and styles to fit any home.

It is important to use a professional installer to install any appliance. You also need to be sure to get your chimney swept as well as invest in a carbon monoxide alarm.

Bumfords have supplied and professionally installed real fires and stoves since 1968. They are also able to maintain stoves and fires including supplying genuine spare parts and accessories for all makes and models.

Why not visit their showroom at Hoyland and receive expert advice as well as seeing some of the stoves on show including the new range of Worcester Bosch stoves Bumfords engineers are HETAS registered and offer a professional installation service throughout South Yorkshire.

In addition, Bumfords also sell a wide range of stove and fire maintenance products over the counter including stove glass cleaner, chimney cleaner products, fireplace accessories including Fire Screens and Companion sets and spare parts for stoves and fires including replacement glass panels, fire bars and bricks.

Bumfords work with some of the biggest names in solid fuel heating and real fires including Trianco, Stovax, Worcester-Bosch, Hunter and Parkray.

Success at the Show Chapeltown Village Show was another huge success for the Chapeltown Forum. This community event held for the fifth year running had nine categories covering 72 classes covering fresh produce, floral, domestic produce, handicrafts and textiles, art and sculpture, photography, woodwork, children’s section and a new section this year for age 12-16 year olds.

Unfortunately for vegetable growers the dry summer meant the veg were not as prolific as in previous years but they still had an amazing selection with entries being placed in 21 of the 22 classes.

The winners of the trophies were: Adult – Jane Mettam Child – Violet Broomhead School – Windmill Hill Next year’s show will be held on the Saturday 21 September. The committee of the Forum are already planning some exciting new attractions so do try and give the event your support.

Come to the Fayre

The City of Sheffield Teachers’ Choir celebrates its 50th anniversary

Sacred Heart Church Christmas Fayre takes place on Sunday 25 November from 12noon in the hall – entrance on Ripley Street, Hillsborough. There will be many stalls, raffles and refreshments, all are welcome.

On 6 November 1968 David Clover held the first rehearsal of the Sheffield Teachers’ Choir, as it was then known. The singers were music teachers in Sheffield schools, some music specialists, some not. David was Sheffield’s music adviser and he moved mountains to encourage and inspire people of all ages and musical abilities to make music in whatever way.

David passed away in January 1979, but his Teachers’ Choir has carried on and celebrates its 50th anniversary with a concert on 10 November.

The programme will include songs of several genres which have marked significant events, both at home and abroad, in the choir’s half century history. There will be arrangements made by David Clover and one of his own compositions as well as choral classics and songs of a lighter nature too.

Get healed Hillsborough Healing Room is offering a free drop-in session every Tuesday between 10.30am and 12noon. The sessions are at Hillsborough Arena and are free to anyone who wants to drop in.

You can read all of our magazines online at www.rmcmedia.co.uk

Sheffield Teachers’ Choir 50th anniversary concert is at Holy Trinity Church, Grove Road, Millhouses, Sheffield at 7.30 pm on Saturday 10 November.

Sheffield Teachers’ Choir has widened its membership to those who are not teachers and welcomes new members. For details see www.cityofsheffieldteacherschoir.org.uk

Hottest of the bunch SHEFFIELD PROVES ITSELF AS A PIPING PROPERTY HOTSPOT. ropCast, the UK’s first house-selling weather forecast, can analyse buyer demand and can now see which locations in Yorkshire are piping hot on the property market, and which postcodes are in the shade.

The areas in the top ten hotspots are all sellers’ markets, while those in the coldest spots are buyers’ markets. The reason the property postcode forecast was set up is to help homeowners find out how easy or hard it will be to sell their property.

The aim is to help sellers set a realistic price using the heat ratings, which range from very hot to very cold.

These ratings are determined by the number of properties on the market in a particular postcode and the percentage that are under offer or sold subject to contract.

Our very own city of Sheffield is the hottest of the bunch when it comes to the property market, with seven postcodes in the top ten hottest areas in Yorkshire.

These include S6, which is largely the Hillsborough area, the S7 postcode which covers Nether Edge and Abbeydale, and S8 covering Norton and Woodseats.

P

Anees Rehman, office manager at Wosskow Brown’s Hillsborough branch, pointed out that the area has been through some challenging times recently, but is certainly bouncing back.

“The vacating of commercial premises is always a worrying sign for any area and this sad trend did hit the Hillsborough shopping district,” he said.

On a more positive note, Anees explained: “However, there is now great demand for commercial properties, and a planning application submitted for a major revamp of the Hillsborough Exchange which includes the construction of nearly 80 new flats above

WE’RE KEY TO BUYING YOUR NEW HOME

the complex demonstrates this perfectly.”

Anees shone some light upon the general demographic looking to buy in the area, saying that the profile of the Hillsborough property market is typically young families looking for their next move, which bodes well for the area, showing a commitment amongst new families to strengthen their roots within Hillsborough.

Sheffield’s scorching heat isn’t surprising though, since average house prices in the city are relatively low considering it’s a wellconnected, large city with plenty of amenities.

To top it off, the Steel City is also close to countryside with quality accommodation and many big employers.

Sheffield actually has the biggest student retention rates in the whole of Britain.

People are hoping that PropCast will inject some realism into the property market and will put an end to over-valuing by estate agents just trying to win business.

Street upgrade FREEVIEW BRINGS THE FREE LOVE TO FREEDOM ROAD, SHEFFIELD, WITH HELP FROM CRAMPTON & MOORE.

esidents of Freedom Road have been celebrating after receiving brand new Freeview Play TVs which could save them up to £400 a year.

To celebrate Freeview’s new TV ad campaign, “Join the Free Love Freeway”, Freeview decided to kit out the aptly named road with new sets, offering residents on the street a brand new Freeview Play TV in partnership with Sheffield-based TV and appliance retailer Crampton and Moore. To mark the occasion, Freeview hosted a street party, complete with a marching brass band, face painting and film crew.

The residents of Freedom Road are among the many viewers making the switch to the subscription free TV platform. Freeview has grown its viewer base faster than any other major TV platform since 2016, making it the most widely watched in the UK. Research conducted by Freeview shows that over half of Brits (53 per cent) are open to switching from a paid-for TV subscription service to a free option, letting them gain access to 95 per cent of the nation’s most watched TV shows without a monthly bill.

Resident Ben Drury of Freedom Road said: “I’ve been spending £65 per month on my TV service, but all of my favourite shows were available for free on Freeview Play. There was

R

80 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

no reason not to switch, and it was so easy – I’m saving money and still getting to watch the shows I love. I just wish I’d realised sooner.”

John Craske, Freeview, said: “We’re so confident in the programming, functionality and flexibility that Freeview Play offers we were prepared to put our money where our mouth is, giving a whole street the chance to upgrade to a Freeview Play TV. We wanted to make this a nationwide opportunity but our finance director just wouldn’t allow it.”

With Freeview Play, viewers can watch a massive variety of programmes with easy access to both live and on demand TV, and most devices have access to top up with streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It has never been easier to become a Freeview Play viewer, with the service built into nearly all new TV models, and if you have an older TV – Freeview Play boxes start at £70.

Scott Molloy, manager of Crampton and Moore Sheffield branch, said: “It was great to be involved with the Freeview Play event as we’re a local family run business and like helping out in the community. We loved showing the residents of Freedom Road everything that Freeview Play has to offer – and delivering a TV with confetti and a brass band accompaniment is always fun!”

About Freeview Freeview is the biggest and best loved TV platform in the UK. Giving viewers access to 70 TV channels, 15 HD channels and over 25 radio stations through an aerial. The service is free from subscription, so there’s no monthly cost. Freeview launched its connected TV service, Freeview Play, in 2015 which gives viewers the choice to watch what they want, want when they want in a simple way. As with all Freeview products, it’s subscription free and works with all existing broadband providers.

Freeview is managed by DTV Services Ltd, a company owned and run by its five shareholders: BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky and Arqiva.

FOOD & DRINK

Make it a success WHETHER YOUR PARTY IS LARGE OR SMALL, FOLLOW THESE TOP TIPS TO MAKE SURE IT’S ONE TO REMEMBER – FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. BY RHIANA HUGHES. e’re heading full force into party season, so whether you’re in charge of your office do or you’ve got your own celebrations to take care of, the food and drink you serve at a gathering is more important than you might think.

W

Whether you’re newly engaged and you’ve hired out a local venue for your family and friends, or your birthday is coming up and you fancy a quiet one with your nearest and dearest, there’s only so many times guests can politely pass around a platter of cold sausage rolls.

SMALLER PARTIES Food If you’re having an intimate party at home you’re more likely to know what it is your guests do or don’t like. It also gives you a chance to be more creative with the food and drink you serve as you’re not having to make huge servings.

If it’s a more casual get together you’re hosting, it can be tempting to reach for those frozen bags of party food, but why not go the extra mile and whip up some snacks from scratch?

Try making your own mini chicken fajitas or smoked salmon blinis, and if you really can’t resist the temptation of a good old sausage roll, why not mix it up and make some more unusual flavours such as caramelised apple and fennel or even chorizo?

Hosting a full on dinner party? Don’t bite off more than you can chew. If the kitchen doesn’t call your name don’t put pressure on yourself to deliver a five-star meal to your guests, as you’ll more than likely end up scuffling with your partner and not getting dinner on the table until 10.30 (we’ve all seen Come Dine with Me).

Simple doesn’t have to mean boring though. There are a wealth of slow-cooker 84 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

recipes out there, from chicken to beef and lamb or even veggie. Easy to put together and still full of flavour, a good slow-cooked stew or curry is bound to please your guests.

If you’re confident you can whip up a fabulous three-course meal there are plenty of dishes that shouldn’t take you away from your guests all night. Start with some halloumi stuffed peppers or breaded mozzarella sticks, then a nice slow-roasted shoulder of lamb will always go down well and can be left to cook in the oven without much maintenance.

When it comes to desserts, no matter the size of your party there are plenty of sweet treats you can put together before your guests even arrive. Cheesecakes and roulades are easy to make and can be kept in the fridge until you’re ready to serve your final course.

Drinks A bottle of wine or fizz is always going to go down well as the majority of us love a tipple.

Grab a few of your favourites and consider adding cocktails to the menu too. Even if it’s just a simple Bellini or some pre-made strawberry gin, offering something a bit different is sure to impress your guests.

“Don’t put pressure on yourself to deliver a five-star meal to your guests, as you’ll more than likely end up scuffling with your partner and not getting dinner on the table until 10.30.”

FOOD & DRINK

LARGER PARTIES Food As the numbers of your party increase, so does the difficulty of pulling off an impressive feast.

Don’t spread yourself too thin and plan an extensive meal that you won’t have time to enjoy yourself. If cost isn’t an issue, consider hiring a caterer to prepare your favourite dishes for you. If you’re on more of a budget, don’t worry as there are plenty of ways to feed larger groups.

A buffet is always a safe option as it increases the chances that there will be something for everyone. If you’re hosting a party that’s likely to last a fair few hours, opt for dishes that can be enjoyed hot as well as cold so people can pick throughout the day or night. Think bacon and cheese straws, handmade pizzas and nachos.

If you’ve got the facilities to keep things heated, consider a large batch of chilli or a make your own taco station.

Cakes and donuts are sure to be a hit too, but don’t stop at a run of the mill lemon drizzle, as although it might be the UK’s favourite, it can seem a little boring. If it’s an engagement party, why not opt for cake pops decorated as brides and grooms? If it’s a birthday party, why not use the dessert to celebrate the guest of honour? Find a dessert you love and add a personal touch.

Drinks Getting drinks ready for a big party can be quite tricky as it’s not always easy to tell what you’ll get through. Nobody wants to be the one called on to nip to the shop for a mid-

party ice run, so make sure you over rather than underestimate on that front!

Bartenders can be a great help when you’re hosting a large party, but they don’t come cheap. There are plenty of cocktails that can be made in large batches if you’re not wanting to splash out. We do it with Pimms in the summer, so who’s to say we can’t do the same in the colder months?

Favourites such as mulled wine or cider can expect a warm reception as the weather starts to turn, and a spiced rum or pomegranate punch is sure to fight off that winter chill too. Not forgetting those teetotallers among us either, there are plenty of non-alcoholic cocktails that can be enjoyed by both adults and children such as pomegranate, ginger and lime water or watermelon lemonade. www.rmcmedia.co.uk 85

Taste of the Old Country A POPULAR ITALIAN TAKEAWAY NOW OFFERS A RESTAURANT SERVICE – NOW THERE’S A RECIPE FOR A DELICIOUS NIGHT OUT... ou can’t beat the truly authentic taste of Italy and you don’t have to travel far to get it because a cosy little restaurant and takeaway in Walkley is really hitting the high notes.

Leo’s first attracted attention as a takeaway a few years back, and quickly built up a reputation for delivering restaurant-standard pizzas, pasta and all your favourite Italian dishes.

So when the shop next door fell vacant it seemed like the natural thing to expand and offer a sit-down service to Leo’s growing band of satisfied customers.

Dining ‘Italian style’ is, of course, about much more than merely eating. Sitting down at an Italian table, taking time to savour each course, relaxing after a busy day and sharing your host’s passion for food is all part of the pleasure.

Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two, a get-together with family or time to relax with friends, Leo’s is friendly and flexible enough to make it an occasion to remember.

And of course, smaller children are very well looked after with their own menu.

The restaurant, which offers classical Italian cuisine in a homely setting for 28 people, opened in the summer of 2017 and has slowly but surely become a word-of-mouth success.

Y

You won’t necessarily find dishes here that you can’t eat elsewhere... but the difference comes in the time, trouble and expertise spent on making every recipe as authentic and delicious as possible before it leaves the kitchen.

That means sourcing products from the Old Country and not settling for second best.

No dashing to the local supermarket or cashand-carry here, the team at Leo’s pride themselves on importing as many key ingredients as possible from Italy.

With Christmas approaching, now is the perfect time to enjoy the warm family welcome on offer at this South Road, Walkley restaurant.

And if one or more of your party has special dietary requirements, don’t worry,

they’ve got that covered with gluten-free pasta and some other dishes that can be low in calories. Just ask for details.

The restaurant is fully licensed of course, and here again you’ll find the wine list has been assembled with loving care so there’s a fantastic choice of Italian whites and reds to choose from.

It all adds up to the recipe for a delicious night out...come to Leo’s Italian Express and enjoy a taste of the Old Country in the heart of Sheffield.

Fine fusion SETTE COLLI: THE RESTAURANT WITH MEXICAN FLAVOUR AND ITALIAN FLAIR. ette Colli has been at the heart of the Hillsborough dining out scene for the last 15 years and its innovative take on Italian-Mexican fusion cuisine, using the finest ingredients in opulent surroundings, has been a consistently popular crowd-pleaser throughout that time.

With over 30 years combined experience in the catering industry, owners Paulo Amaral and Paulo Ferreira have created both an exciting and an extensive menu of the very best Italian and Mexican cuisine, with a full beverage list to complement.

And now this vibrant, welcoming restaurant has found an extra gear, winning new fans from across the city after being named as Italian of the Year in a competition run by The Star to find its readers’ favourite eating venues.

So these are exciting times for the dynamic and passionate team who have come to Sette Colli (which means, of course, seven hills) from all areas of the hospitality industry.

Everyone who works at this distinctive eatery on Bradfield Road is united through a lust for flavoursome Mediterranean cooking, aiming to constantly push the envelope the more they draw on the exotic and earthy flavours of Mexico, and the fresh and healthy ingredients associated with a rich Italian heritage.

The result is a menu boasting a wide variety of dishes, from enchiladas and

S

mouth-watering burritos to pizzas, pastas, steak and fish. And all are prepared with fresh herbs and spices, giving Italian staples like the carbonara a beautiful finish and the Mexican fajitas a fresh and spicy kick.

Make sure you bring your sweet tooth with you too, as Sette Colli has an enticing dessert selection to complete your meal, including the popular homemade tiramisu and lemon cheesecake.

Oozing with charm and cosiness, the time-honoured restaurant has a relaxed but incredibly vibrant feel, and with an open kitchen, diners can peer through to watch the experienced chefs at work. Sette Colli is all about sharing good food with friends, and enjoying the warm friendly atmosphere.

This December, alongside the standard menu, Sette Colli will be offering diners even more variety, including a fabulously festive three-course menu (Sunday to Thursday £21.95/Friday, Saturday and Christmas Eve £24.95) and an abundance of local and seasonal produce.

So whether you’re taking a break from the kitchen or gathering friends and family for a celebration, don’t miss your opportunity to enjoy a Mediterranean dining experience with a Mexican twist this Christmas.

Making Tax Digital – are you ready?

A NEW INITIATIVE SEES HMRC MAKE VAT MORE MANAGEABLE. ringing tax into the digital age is high on HMRC’s agenda, with the introduction of its Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative.

We all do business, banking and pay bills online, so why not our tax too?

Originally announced in 2015 by George Osborne, Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC’s revolutionary plan to make the UK one of the most digitally advanced tax administrations in the world.

With the focus on reducing the amount of work for taxpayers and businesses and making tax and VAT more manageable and easier to understand, it is also designed to reduce the amount of errors made – which can lead to under or over payments of tax, penalties and interest charges.

Initially, MTD will only apply to VAT from April 2019 but eventually, HMRC hopes to bring other taxes such as income tax and corporation tax into the scope of MTD. If you’re a VAT-registered business with turnover over £85,000 then MTD will apply to you and you will need to keep digital records and file a VAT return via MTD-compliant software from April 2019.

Although 99 per cent of VAT returns are already filed online, most of them are filed by logging in to the Government Gateway. If you must comply with MTD for VAT, you will no longer be able to use the Government Gateway. Instead you will have to file your VAT return using software. HMRC have said they will not be providing any free solutions themselves.

Contacting HMRC will also be much simpler through web chats or secure messages, much like how you’d manage your accounts via online banking.

However, according to a study by Quickbooks, 41 per cent of small business owners were still unaware of Making Tax Digital, and although 22 per cent were aware of what it is, they are only planning to file their taxes digitally if they face financial penalties.

If you do fall under the criteria for MTD and want to understand more about these digital changes, drop us a line on 0114 294 5358 or pop in to see us at TaxAssist Accountants Sheffield North on Wadsley Lane.

Animal attraction THERE’S GREAT GOLF TO BE HAD IN SOUTHERN LINCOLNSHIRE, JUST DON’T GET DISTRACTED BY THE WILDLIFE, WRITES ANDY WAPLE. here were Bambis as well as birdies in evidence during my recent golfing break to QHotels’ Belton Woods resort, near Grantham.

Roe and fallow deer made a welcome appearance, casualty grazing in the rough along the front nine on the Woodside course, the best stretch of the resort’s 36-hole layout.

Sadly, the birdies were not a signal of the quality of our play but of the feathered variety. They lifted our spirits nevertheless.

Firstly, a green woodpecker with its yellowgreen plumage, bright red cap and black face mask foraged for ants along a fairway before darting for refuge in a large oak tree as we approached.

It was far more graceful than the raucous gaggle of geese stuffing their beaks by the water’s edge in front of one of the greens on the Lakes course.

This parade of wildlife made it hard to believe that the four-star Belton Woods resort is located just minutes from the hustle and bustle of the busy A1 Great North Road, and

little over an hour’s drive from our region.

The resort, with its two 18-hole layouts complemented by a nine-hole academy course, is a welcome refuge for those looking for a relaxing golf break and the use of spa and leisure facilities. The state-of-the-art spa can provide individual treatments, calming spa days and tailored spa packages and breaks.

The Championship Lakes course, home of the oldest PGA tournament in the world, the Midlands PGA Championships, and the 2018 PGA Fourball Championship, features long holes, narrow fairways and, as the name suggests, plenty of water hazards.

Meanwhile the Woodside course with gentle, undulating fairways, runs alongside many of the wooded areas surrounding the resort and has a number of pot bunkers to catch out the unwary.

In addition to 136 luxurious contemporary hotel bedrooms, guests have the option of staying in exclusive two- or three-bedroom lodges within the resort’s private grounds.

The recently refurbished health club contains a large indoor swimming pool, as well as a fitness studio. Belton Woods also offers tennis courts, squash, croquet, and archery.

Restaurant options include Stantons Brasserie, offering a carvery and rotisserie

dinner menu, plus a wide selection of salads, English charcuterie, smoked fish, shellfish, and chef ’s specials, while the informal Claret Jug is used by guests and golfers throughout the day, for a snack or a quick beer or coffee, before transforming in the evenings providing grills and varied wine list.

Established in 1991, Belton Woods is the largest golf resort within the QHotels

portfolio. It is managed by RBH, the UK’s popular independent hotel management company.

As the largest golf resort operator in the UK, RBH manages nine championship and tournament golf courses across the UK, hosting events from the European Tour, European Seniors Tour, Ladies European Tour and the PGA. www.rmcmedia.co.uk 99

MOTORING

Rebel Ribelle Everybody loves a Maserati, especially a limited-edition Maserati. So say hello to the Maserati Ghibli Ribelle.

While the Ghibli may not be the most exotic of Maserati thoroughbreds, this special edition variant will certainly make you feel a million dollars. Limited to 200 units, the Ribelle has a unique paint coupled with the shiny black 19-inch Proteo alloy wheels with contrasting red laser etched details, giving this the ultimate stealth look.

The interior boasts a two-tone black and red theme: two-tone dashboard, red central armrest, black leather steering wheel with tone-on-tone stitching and premium, full leather two-tone seats, all exclusive to this model.

Engines offered are the 275hp diesel and 350hp and 430hp petrol units mated to a flappy paddle gearbox.

FROM SMART SALOONS TO SLEEK FASTBACKS, JORDAN CUTFORTH’S HOT PICKS FOR NOVEMBER ARE SURE TO PLEASE.

Intense E-tense The DS brand is the luxury arm of the Citroen umbrella. Combining stunning visuals with cutting edge tech, the DS range offers something for everyone. Now, with the DS 7 Crossback, there is a new variant to add to the mix, the E-tense 4x4.

Combining practicality, design, speed and economy is what the DS 7 Crossback E-Tense 4x4 is deigned for. With a 300hp power unit under the bonnet (200hp petrol engine and 109hp) electric motor, the DS7 is certainly pokey yet it achieves 128mpg, saving your bank account in the process.

Four modes are available: zero emission; Sport Mode; Hybrid; and 4WD. In full EV mode, the Crossback can muster 31miles and achieve a top speed of 83mph.

Fastback fun Since the Hyundai I30 came onto the scene it has caused a stir in the hot-hatch community.

A serious alternative to the Golf GTI and the like?

In short, probably not; the sleek new Hyundai I30N is more your shouty Honda Civic TypeR than classy Golf GTI but, thanks to the more popular saloon versions of hatchbacks (think A-Class saloon and A3 saloon), the I30N has got the fastback treatment.

The car is exactly the same, same engine, drivetrain, but the fastback version improves the design no end.

First official showing at Paris Motor Show.

Classier R-Design Volvo has extended its brilliant V60 range with the addition of the ever popular and beautifully designed R-Design variants.

The V60 has always been one of those cars that separates itself from the current big three German giants for offering minimalist, classy styling with impeccable build quality. With this new V60 estate R-Design, it has raised the bar for plush family motoring.

The R-Design offers so much more than classier visual; we have sports-tuned suspension for better driving dynamics, the cabin features part-leather sports seats, black headlining, sports pedals and a sports leather steering wheel and gear lever.

Front and rear parking sensors, City Safety autonomous emergency braking and Volvo’s Sensus connectivity system all provided as standard.

Prices start at £35,410.
