The great OUTDOORS

We all have our ‘happy’ places and for many of us that is our gardens, whether we like to work in them, sit in them or just enjoy and peace and tranquillity they can provide. It’s no surprise that prolonged periods spent outside have been proven to have a positive effect on our wellbeing and can help to reduce anxiety and boost self-esteem and mood.

It’s something Kendall Turner certainly appreciates and it was in her garden –the solace she needed, and so much more. Originally from Nottingham, Kendall completing a philosophy degree in Leeds. It was a completely new city and new experience for the couple who were taken in by its friendly nature and wonderful green spaces.

As a teacher working with children with special educational needs, Kendall found her role both rewarding but very challenging and was a time when she admits to feeling quite ‘low’. She found

boost her mood was to visit her Heeley and Meersbrook allotment everyday after school.

“I would go, without fail, every day, rain or shine,” she recalled. “It felt like the only place where I’d got a good grip on things. My dad had an allotment for 30 years and I pretty much grew up on that. I’ve always loved gardening.”

It was while working on the allotment that the seeds for a career change were sown and Kendall was keen to share her own experience with others who might share similar feelings or circumstances.

“I just felt like everyone should have access to what’s making me feel better,” she said.

And so Bloom was born.

that offers women and non-binary people (they are also trans-inclusive) a safe, friendly, inclusive space with the aim of improving mental health and wellbeing, reducing social isolation and teaching and sharing skills. This is done through

“The premise of what we do is very circular,” explained Kendall. “We grow them up, sell them and then all the money we raise from everything we do goes back into keeping the gardens open and keep us delivering those groups.”

Bloom has four gardens: two spaces at Heeley and Meersbrook allotments and two private production gardens, one in Dore and one in Wortley Hall’s walled garden.

The original, which opened in 2019, is called ‘Baby Bloom’ with the bigger allotment space called ‘Big Bloom’ and it’s here where therapeutic horticulture groups – called Gardening to Feel Good – are held twice weekly.

“We’ll work closely with you to set achievable goals and create a personalised programme designed to improve your mental wellbeing,” explained Kendall. “As part of a supportive group of like-minded people, you’ll plant, weed, dig, sow, and sip tea in the fresh air until things start to feel easier.”

These courses last for eight weeks and Bloom accept people who have been

referred by doctors or health professionals or those who have self-referred.

“We wanted to keep the self-referral pathway open because we know that not everyone who is struggling with their mental health is under the care system,” added Kendall. “They may not feel

“Everyone in life has had moments where they feel low or lonely or stressed and anxious and need a little bit of support –that’s where we come in. We didn’t want to create a barrier, we’re there for everybody.”

As well as the therapeutic horticulture groups, Bloom also have drop-in sessions twice weekly – called Gather and Grow – where you can help out on any of the gardens.

New for spring this year are baby and toddler groups, called Bloom Seedlings

and Bloom Saplings respectively. These will be held at Big Bloom with the former looking at connections to nature and to other parents whilst Saplings will be more of a forest school with a pond, digging pit, play areas and more.

Complementing the four gardens is a shop in Woodseats, which opened in July scented candles, soaps and other gifts, all

wellbeing programme with workshops covering everything from yoga and knitting to willow weaving and wreath making. It’s something they will be looking to repeat and grow in the future.

Kendall has had plenty of help along the way and is particularly thankful to fellow directors Kate and Jane who have helped to grow Bloom as well as the many volunteers and members that have made the social enterprise into what it is today.

“I knew how to grow stuff [when I started] but didn’t know how to run a business,” Kendall admitted. “I met Jane, she changed the game and had a lot of experience running businesses, particularly

HR, all those things that I didn’t have much experience with.”

As the allotments are council-owned,

“We’ve just got an electric cargo bike, it’s an absolute beast,” beamed Kendall. “We’ve got lots of little boxes that slot on by bike.”

It’s perhaps surprising to discover that before starting Bloom, Kendall had never growing fruit and vegetables on her dad’s allotment.

“So from that to cutting to thousands and thousands of stems each week…

I’ve learned so much,” she said. “I think what’s really nice about this community, we’re all sort of learning together. There’s no pressure to come and get it right straightaway, I think gardening can be intimidating for some people. We want people to just come and have a go, if it grows, great, if not, don’t worry about it.”

Bloom is very much a no pressure environment that allows people to participate as much or as little as they like. All that matters is that they get something out of it. And the sunshine and tea can’t hurt either.

“As part of a supportive group of like-minded people, you’ll plant, weed, dig, sow, and sip tea in the fresh air until things start to feel easier.”

TRANSFORM YOUR OUTDOOR SURFACES WITH ROMAN ROAD SYSTEMS’ RESIN BOUND FINISHES.

F

irst impressions are everything, especially when it comes to your home. And this extends beyond your front door to your paths, patios and driveways. If they’re cracked, broken or full of weeds, it’s time to do something about it.

This is where Roman Road Systems Ltd come in. The family-run business with over 25 years’ experience can breathe new life into tired pathways, drives and patios.

They are expert installers of resin bound decorative surfaces which can transform hard-standing areas by creating a safe, durable and attractive surface in many different finishes and colours.

Resin bound surfaces, which can add colour and character to your outdoor spaces, are created by mixing aggregate material with a suitable resin compound which is then laid on the prepared surface min 16mm in depth to provide a smooth and aesthetically-pleasing surface.

They are most suitable for non-slip areas as the finish is not abrasive. Resin bound systems minimise puddles, ice and growth of mould and weeds and are easy to maintain; they simply need a jet wash or hose down, then swept clean.

Managing director Rob Barnett established the Eckington-based company over 15 years ago after having previously worked in the bridge and road construction industries, which included the installation of anti-skid surfaces.

Rob works with his daughter Shani,

who is office manager, as well as Ryan Walsh who is site manager. And don’t forget to look out for the friendly works dog – Roman the German Shepherd.

“Our team have good knowledge in the fields they’re working in and, more than anything else, they have great pride and a sense of achievement in what they are doing,” Rob said. “Along with this, we only use the very best materials and products on all our jobs. This may sometimes make us not the cheapest around, but we certainly guarantee all our work will last with no worries.

“We are very proud of delivering above and beyond our customers’ expectations at a price that is absolute value for money.”

The team can help with design and build from scratch, including ramps and steps. Over the years, Roman Road Systems have also broadened their offering and can now provide full landscaping services, including fencing, gates, turf and artificial grass, as well as flat roofs, fascias, rendering, and other general building maintenance.

If you fancy something completely different, logos can be incorporated into any design. You can see examples of the different styles and colours available at their Eckington show site.

Roman Road Systems’ surfaces are long-lasting, don’t fade or discolour with time. All work is fully insured and comes with a full ten-year guarantee.

Finance is available on all installations and Roman Road Systems currently have an spring offer where they are offering 50 per cent off resin borders.

Please make an appointment to visit the outdoor display area at the depot, which is highly recommended.

Putting Doncaster on the CULINARY MAP

excellence of service, atmosphere and quality. And so DN1 Delicatessen & Dining was born – could this be a foodie paradise right here in Doncaster?

The story of the last two years is one of ups and downs, setbacks, along with huge surges forward in progress. Finally, refurbishments are almost complete and the concept has really come to life.

Enter the High Fisher Gate venue and dining to the right. It is sleek, stylish and unpretentious and, above all welcoming.

The cheese and charcuterie counters take centre stage on the deli side - 12.5 metres won the title of Best Deli in Yorkshire by Yorkshire Life magazine.

DN1 Delicatessen & Dining is a foodie paradise –

The Chef’s Bench at DN1 Delicatessen & Dining

Head chef Marcus Ashton-Simpson

More than a deli, it’s an international food lovers’ emporium with unusual ingredients from all four corners of the world, rare fruits and vegetables, and a huge wall dedicated to herbs, spices and

There’s a section for African and Caribbean cuisine, Asian, eastern European and just about every pasta shape imaginable. It’s destination shopping and well worth a trip.

“We nearly went for a standalone restaurant but this unique location has allowed us to create something very different,” explains Sarah. “There really a dining room but are much more than that. We’re very much a community and welcome everyone into our little domain which is helping to put Doncaster on the culinary map.”

In addition to winning Best Deli in Yorkshire, DN1 Delicatessen & Dining has enjoyed the perfect start to the year after being awarded 2 AA Rosettes, the only restaurant in the city to have received such recognition. What’s more, the young chef team, led by head chef Marcus AshtonSimpson, achieved this on what was their

2 AA Rosette establishments are characterised as ‘excellent restaurants that aim for and achieve higher standards and better consistency. A greater precision is apparent in the cooking, and there is obvious attention to the selection of quality ingredients’. Only 40 per cent of restaurants/hotels within the AA Restaurant Guide have two Rosettes.

For DN1 to have achieved this already, is quite remarkable – and they were very close to getting 3 Rosettes.

“This is what it has been all about, such days I’m sure,” said Martyn. “Congratulations to Marcus and junior sous chefs Adam Barratt and Oska Ready.”

It caps a remarkable beginning for the business which has also been voted ‘Best Contemporary – Out of Town’ at our sister magazine Westside’s Restaurant & Bar Awards in 2023. The Times food critic, Giles Coren, also recently visited and had high praise for the High Fisher Gate venue.

DN1 Delicatessen & Dining also recently joined the Guild of Fine Food, who has a mission to support, celebrate and encourage independent food and drink retailers and the producers that supply them. They also host the annual Great Taste awards.

The ethos of the business, and that of The Gentleman Fishmonger, is to provide the best quality possible. Everyone who works at

menus with optional wine pairings also available. These are available Thursday to Saturday for both lunch and dinner sittings and there are also options for cheese boards, grazing boards and oysters at the small wine bar Wednesday to Saturday.

“We were inspired by esteemed culinary destinations like Harrods Food Hall or the

bustling markets of Barcelona and Italy, we sought to create a harmonious blend, where the passion we have nurtured for our chefs culinary treasures housed within the deli,” added Martyn.

“Thank you to all the team members here at DN1 and all the diners who’ve supported and encouraged this amazing young team,” said Sarah. “We are proud to bring this experience to the great people of Doncaster – it’s a great boost to the food scene here in our fabulous city.”

Seemingly the only way is up for the 2 AA Rosette DN1 Delicatessen & Dining. Next stop, a Michelin star? You wouldn’t put it past them.

Inside it’s not exactly peaceful but the low hum of contented chat and the soft clink of chopsticks against bowls is a comforting reminder that you are in the right place.

Order a drink, read the menu, don’t rush. It’s a huge, hard-bound affair which covers all bases. The trouble is, I like it all. A delicious compromise was reached in the form of a spectacular sharing starter plate politely and you never know your luck.

It was all sparklingly fresh, and the mussels were a particular highlight of one of the most impressive starters I’ve tasted in a long time. At around £40 it would serve four normal appetites very well, but in the spirit of full disclosure I must confess there were only two of us. Oh well, if you’re going to push the boat out and undo another notch on the belt this is the place to do it.

Working TOGETHER

Countryside hotel and restaurant, The Maynard, makes the most of its surroundings, writes Richard Abbey.

The Maynard take great pride in sourcing much of their produce from local suppliers, including New Close Farm (Haddon), R G Morris & and Hattersley Wines (Bakewell).

It forms the backbone of a delicious all-day restaurant menu, which has been expertly compiled by head chef Greg Robinson and executive chef Adrian Gagea, and is characterised as ‘British with a twist’.

It’s certainly an extensive menu and features everything from starters and sharers to salads, sandwiches, steaks and main courses. But it’s a menu in-keeping of its surroundings; The Maynard is a gorgeous hotel, restaurant and events venue in Grindleford that seems to blend contemporary and countryside chic perfectly.

A major refurbishment to the interior last year has created a very cosy restaurant space that offers views over a new outdoor terrace and gardens. At night it’s lit by candlelight and soft lighting to create a welcoming yet intimate atmosphere. We really liked it.

My wife and I chose a glass of wine each – Montepulciano D’Abruzzo (£7.80 for 250ml) for her and a Chilean Pinot Noir

(£9.95 for 250ml) for me – before tucking into our starters. A twice-baked cheddar

stilton sauce (£9.25), had been cooked pan-fried scallops, served with a roast prawn and herb oil (£12.95) was deliciously indulgent.

Main courses continued the already high standards and featured cuts of meat sourced from nearby New Close Farm. My wife’s venison loin (£34.95) had been cooked classically with a Provence herbs crust and was served with a beetroot and potato ballotine wrapped in pancetta. The sweetness from the beetroot, balsamic and blackberry perfectly complemented the meat, which was served pink.

My lamb dish (£24.95) offered something of a Middle-Eastern twist and came with a spiced pistachio dukkah, goats’ cheese

heat, the dukkah – a nutty spice mix made with coriander and cumin – added another dimension to a dish that was so much more than meat and potatoes. It was delicious.

We didn’t stop there and chose from a

very vegan-friendly dessert menu, which included plant-based ice creams, mousses

– apple and blueberry almond crumble with vegan vanilla ice cream (£8.95) –whilst I, being ever indecisive, opted for the Grindleford Gourmand, a selection of miniature desserts served with espresso (£11.95). this translated to small portions of the crumble, chocolate brownie, tiramisu and mango and raspberry vegan mousse. If that wasn’t enough, scoops of vegan vanilla ice cream and raspberry sorbet and even

The Maynard is owned and operated by Longbow Bars & Restaurants and is a great place to visit any time of day. There are hotel rooms if you’d like to extend your stay even further and a large function is perfect for weddings, occasions and corporate events. And by visiting you’re not just supporting one local independent but several thanks to the considerate way they work.

As part of the installation service, Williams will remove any old appliances for recycling, connect the new appliance and adjust any plinths or panels if required. If it’s a built-in appliance, they will attach any doors and make adjustments if necessary.
