ew Proprietors From Oct.2011 Jason and Debbie Taylor and their friendly staff welcome old customers and new to the Mulberry, Restaurant and Bar. With Jason and Debbie both having grown up in Conwy they have excellent local knowledge and take advantage of the abundance of local producers and suppliers on their doorstep. A combination of Local organic pork from Oakwood Farm, award winning local cheeses, fresh local seafood and fantastic range of exclusive wines, not to mention a selection of Robinsons award winning real ales. They believe they have something for everyone.
Welsh Lamb Morrocan Style 11/2 lb shoulder of welsh lamb 250 ml chopped tomatoes, 2 bay leaves, 4 shallots, 1 tsp coriander, half teaspoon crushed chillies, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 sprig rosemary, 2 garlic cloves crushed, 1/2 pint lamb stock, 2 sprigs of fresh mint, 1 bottle of old tom ale, 6 cherry tomatoes.
With a fantastic new menu, combining fine local produce with modern European cooking we offer a place to relax, enjoy the food and take in the wonderful views of Conwy Marina and the surrounding Conwy valley. Our first floor balcony restaurant has wonderful views, booking is advisable as window tables are very popular.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Slash the fat side of the lamb all over with a sharp knife. Lay half the sprigs of rosemary, cinnamon, chillies and half the garlic cloves on the bottom of a high sided roasting tray, rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place it in the tray on top of the rosemary and garlic,and put the rest of the rosemary and garlic on top of the lamb. Tightly cover the tray with tinfoil and place in the oven. Turn the oven down immediately to 170o C/325oF/gas 3 and cook for 21/2 - 3 hrs. It’s done if you can pull the meat apart easily with 2 forks.
A five minute stroll through the marina village will take you to the small sandy beach where views of Deganwy, the Great Orme and Puffin Island can be seen. With only a 2 minute drive from junction 17 on the A55 we are easily accessible with ample parking.
When the lamb is nearly cooked drain off the excess oil and put your shallots, old tom, cherry tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, puree, shallots and stock into the pan. Cover with tin foil and cook for a further 20 minutes. Finely chop the mint and add it to the sauce.

MOTORING
Save money on motoring YOUR car is likely the second biggest purchase you ever make – so it’s vital you protect that investment.
Practical tips to help you save money on motoring
Just as you wouldn’t let a leaky roof or broken guttering fester on your house, you need to pay regular attention to your car to keep it in good working order too. And it’s not just about a bucket and sponge. Simple maintenance tasks can preserve your car’s life and its value at resale time. The difference between a car in ‘excellent’ and ‘below average’ condition can be £1,000, according to trade valuation experts, so it really pays to look after your motor. Here are some practical tips to help you save money in the long run. Well Oil Be
It’s amazing how many motorists don’t even know how to check their oil, let alone remember to top it up. However, failing to do so will have dire consequences. Check it fortnightly, making sure the car is on level ground, engine cold and the level is between minimum and maximum. Check coolant levels too and get any abnormal noises or poor performance problems checked by an expert.
Air We Go
Air-conditioning needs regular attention. Topping up the system with gas and lubricating it will cost around £70 at a garage and should be done every two years. This will stop unpleasant smells and bacteria forming. Poorly serviced systems have to work harder, putting undue strain on the engine.
At Your Service
The recession saw many motorists skip servicing to try and save money. This really is a false economy. Sticking to your car’s maintenance schedule will ensure it’s working properly, prevent failures and prove it’s been looked after at resale time. Keep every receipt and old MOT, as well as a stamped-up service book for the next owner.
Fuel’s gold
It might look like a costly alternative to regular fuel, but the AA says a few tanks of super unleaded can help preserve your engine. Using three tanks of super in succession will clean injectors and allow the engine to run more efficiently, helping preserve its working life.
Tyred Out
The penalty for driving on illegal tyres (under 1.6mm of tread across the central three quarters) is a fine and three points. Inspect your car’s boots weekly for damage, remove stones in the tread and look for signs of uneven wear. Pressures should be checked monthly too preserving the tyre’s life, and your fuel economy.
Easy Does It
The way you drive can dramatically affect how long your car will last. Driving with care, avoiding harsh acceleration and hard braking will reduce wear on components. It’s also worth thinking, do you need to make that trip? Lower mileage cars are worth more.
Polished off
Cleaning your car regularly with quality products is the best way to preserve its value. Glass’s Guide says a comprehensive clean can add £600 to a car’s value.
Hose Down
A vital part of the car cleaning procedure is to hose the car down before washing. This removes fine particles of grit that can scratch the paintwork as you wash. These scratches will make your paint look dull and hazy, putting off future buyers.
Wheel-ie good idea
Invest in a quality wheel cleaning brush and wheel cleaner to shift stubborn stains. Apply a coat of wheel wax which will stop future grime taking hold. Used car buyers love alloy wheels, but only if they’re in good condition.

Re 1 hr ady in and 30 m in
Sachertorte 150g unsalted butter, softened 150g caster sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 6 large eggs, separated 150g plain chocolate, melted 75g ground almonds 50g plain flour, sifted FILLING AND ICING 140g plain chocolate 5 tbsp strong black coffee 150g icing sugar, sifted 6tbsp apricot jam, warmed and sieved 50g milk chocolate, melted
Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, Gas 4. Grease and base line a 23cm (9in) spring-form tin with greaseproof paper. Place the butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat together until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the egg yolks then stir in the melted chocolate. Fold in the ground almonds and plain flour. Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Beat about one third of the whites into the chocolate mixture then gently fold in the rest with a metal spoon. Pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 40-45 minutes until firm to the touch. Cool for 10 minutes then turn the cake out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely. To make the filling and icing, place the chocolate and coffee in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and leave until melted. Stir until smooth then gradually beat in the icing sugar to make a smooth thick icing. Halve the cake horizontally and sandwich back together with some of the apricot jam. Spread the rest of the jam over the top and side of the cake. Spread the icing all over the cake, smoothing it gently down the sides with a palette knife. Leave in a cool place for 2 hrs. Spoon the milk chocolate into a small paper piping bag and pipe ‘Sacher’ on top of the cake. Leave until set. 18 Abergele Jan Feb 2012.indd 18
