Don’t just take our word for it… come and see our beautifully refurbished venue

UNDE R

OLD

MANAGE ME NT K PA D DY IS B A C

WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY… As a family of 4 we decided to give the Hunters Pub in Walton Park a try after hearing reports that it had undergone a refurbishment and it was back “under old management”. So we packed the little ones into the car and hit the road with empty bellies ready to see what all this fuss being made on social media was about. As our visit was towards the tail end of lunch we found the car park to be quite quiet although this suited us perfect as with a buggy in tow we wanted to park close to the bar side doors as it allows easy access via a ramp. Double doors make the movement of the pram pretty effortless. I must be honest and say that upon entering we were both taken back with a “ooh wow” factor. In fairness it’s been close to a year since the last time we visited the pub but instantly recognized a huge difference. Our eyes were first drawn to the fact that it gave more of a homely and cosy feel within the bar and then realized this was due to that they have blocked off some of the bar windows and made use of this space with fixed booth seating. Wooden cladding on the walls filled with bric a brac which leant towards the feel of a characteristic pub infused with

Irish charm. Old whiskey branded mirrors reflected the mood lighting creating a timeless feel that if the walls could talk, there would many stories to be told. We made our way through into what looked like the dining area of the venue to be welcomed with a warm greeting. Immediately recognizing our arrival time with our notes on booking of 2 babies in hand, we were lead to a table close to a glowing fire with the explanation of confidence that seating us on the ground level was best for our comforts as they were expecting us. As our eyes perused the menu we couldn’t help to notice the subtle yet effortless transformation to the interior. The colour scheme has been completed overhauled with new seating, tables and a whole new feel. It’s hard to explain the flow and style of what it is throughout but it seems to incorporate a nice balance of modern with a vintage twist. The wallpaper and carpet make a statement with their unique designs yet the walls are respectful to its surroundings with frames of all old Preston landmarks. We placed our orders at the bar in the way of a Hunters Chicken with

chunky chips, a chicken Caesar salad and fish goujons with skinny fries and garden peas for our little one. After our plates were cleared we took a walk over to their new desserts display and this in itself was a bad move as once our little ones spotted with chocolate cake and ice cream selection we knew what would happen! I suppose it’s best to judge our thoughts on the food by the leftovers on our plates and of that there was barely any. For a pub we both agreed that it was delicious and exactly what it says on the tin. It’s hearty comfort food presented perfectly and piping hot, served in very comfortable surrounding by welcoming friendly staff who just seem to have got the balance right. They were always within eyesight if required yet in no way intrusive on our family time. We had a lovely meal out at The Hunters Pub in Walton Park and we couldn’t recommend it enough! It’s not always easy going out as a family with a toddler and a baby but the experience was wonderful. For our little ones the chips were definitely a favourite. Hayley & Sean Bailey 11th Oct 2019

Seema Kennedy I have taken the very difficult decision to stand down from Parliament. It has been a huge privilege for me to have served as your MP for the past four and a half years. I am pleased that working alongside dedicated councillors we have advanced the Lancashire City Deal; bringing the much-needed dualling of Golden Way and the building of the new Penwortham by-pass. I have secured £15.8 million in funding to improve flood defences in Penwortham; and got £25million for Leyland through the new ‘Towns Fund’ to raise living standards.

It has been a great honour to serve my country as an MP, a Minister and to be the first female PPS to a Prime Minister. However, the work of which I am most proud is that which I began with the late Jo Cox on our cross-party commission on loneliness. To achieve the world’s first Minister for Loneliness and millions of pounds of funding to help tackle this scourge on our society is something that continues to transform our country’s attitude and response to this issue. However, after a great deal of thought and reflection, it is now time for me to focus on other priorities in my life. I want to thank everyone for the support you have shown me. I believe that South Ribble’s best days lie ahead of us, and I wish my successor all the very best for the future.

The Village Teapot Nestled in the heart of Walmer Bridge stands The Village Teapot. Known as the tearoom with a twist, it boasts an extensive menu covering everything from a full English breakfast to fish and chips. You can indulge in traditional tearoom treats including afternoon tea, homemade cake and freshly ground coffee. The Village Teapot has been under new management since January 2019 and is continuously moving from strength to strength. The venue has become a hub of activity for the village and has recently been awarded ‘Most Family-Friendly Tearoom in Lancashire’ for 2019. This comes as no surprise as the family focus is evident from the children’s menu to the ‘tiny teapots’ play corner including wooden kitchen, books and busy board which is ideal to keep little ones busy whilst adults enjoy a hot drink. As the food is all homemade using locally sourced produce, many of the dishes can be adapted to suit various dietary requirements

such as dairy free, gluten free and there is also a separate vegan menu. You can also book exclusive hire of the venue for special occasions such as birthdays, baby showers, christenings and hen parties. With seating for up to 50 people The Village Teapot is the perfect place to celebrate. The venue is licensed so you can enjoy a tipple at The Teapot.

Nearest Booths store : Longton, Tarleton, Penwortham JILL’S BALLOTINE OF TURKEY

Jill Dobson works at Booths Hale Barns and her ballotine of turkey is a real centrepiece and a cinch to carve.

INGREDIENTS

I boneless crown of turkey approx. 2kg/4.5 lbs 24-32 slices of prosciutto 2oz / 50g softened butter 1 tsp each of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 12 fresh sage leaves 3 fresh bay leaves 3 tbsp of fresh flat leaf parsley 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary – strip the leaves from their stalks 2 tsp dried oregano 3 cloves of garlic, skinned

METHOD

1 Lay out the turkey crown skin side down in front of you. Cut down the breast bone of each side, ensuring you don’t cut all the way through to the bottom. Lift out bone and remove the wings (if still attached). Slash the meat in a criss-cross pattern. 2 Blend the salt, pepper, herbs and garlic in a blender to make a rough paste. Rub this all over the meat pushing it into the slits. 3 Lay out a piece of baking paper bigger than the turkey onto the work surface. Place the prosciutto slices onto the paper, overlapping them to make a rectangle which is longer and wider than the turkey crown. 4 Sit the turkey skin side down on top of the prosciutto. Roll the turkey and prosciutto up from the side closest to you using the baking paper to keep it all together. Fold the prosciutto in at the sides and then wrap the whole thing in cling film. Chill for up to 2 days.

5 Heat the oven to 320°F/160°C/140°C

(fan) gas mark 3. Peel the cling film away and turn the turkey so that the prosciutto is on the bottom and the meat looks like a long log. Sit this on a wire rack in a roasting tin, joint side down. Season the outside with salt and pepper and rub with the butter. Cover this with a tent of foil to keep it moist.

6 After 1¼ hours remove the foil and roast for another 45-75 mins. After 45 mins, using a meat thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the turkey ensuring it reads 70°C. (If you don’t have a thermometer ensure that the juices run clear and that it is piping hot in the middle). Leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Clearwater Financial Planning is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority No. 610800 Registered in England No. 08763324

Debbie Carter BA (Hons) FPFS ACSI Chartered Financial Planner

“I do the best job in the world…I help make people’s dreams come true.”

Five ways to financial confidence Financial advice is often perceived as ‘managing wealth’ or ‘selling a financial product’ but we go much further than this. When it comes to your financial confidence, you can’t do better than having your own personal planning coach to help you navigate the complexities of your financial situation and steer you towards the things you want from your life.

3. Tax-efficient investment strategy

Here are five ways in which working with a financial planner can help boost your financial confidence and your overall security and happiness:

4. Cancel out the noise

1. Have a workable financial plan Most people, when they set off on a journey, know what sort of car they are in, where they want to go and how they plan to get there. Not everybody uses the same approach when it comes to arranging their investments. Sometimes this can mean that they end up making investments without considering what the purpose is, whether the investment ‘vehicle’ is right or even having sufficient understanding of the underlying investment. Our aim is to ensure we provide the right advice for your entire situation, not just isolating different elements of your current circumstances or random financial objectives. 2. Consistent investment strategy Disciplined investors can see nearly double the returns on their investments over 20 years compared to those who try to time the market. We will ensure that your investment portfolio is simple to understand, inexpensive, targeted towards your goals and suitable for your attitude to risk.

Tax efficiency is a critical part of financial planning. We can give advice to save on Capital Gains Tax, Income Tax and Inheritance Tax, meaning you have more in your pocket to spend on things you enjoy.

The investment management industry and financial press constantly offers tips, predictions, warnings, speculation and advice. Virtually none of this information is of use to clients; in fact, it is distracting noise that can bully people into taking ill-advised actions. It is entertainment, not information. Our investment philosophy is based on factual information from the work of cool-headed academics with no vested interest in selling investments or filling column inches. 5. Coaching Poor decisions are perhaps the biggest threat to successful long-term investing. Human psychology means our decision making can be driven by emotion rather than reason - working with us can make a big difference here. We can help provide you with a clear vision of the future and help you stay committed to your long-term goals, despite market uncertainty and short term volatility. Our past experience means we tend to have seen it all before and recognise when emotions are getting in the way of good decision-making. For more information and for assistance with planning for a great retirement, please call me for a friendly chat.

10 Chapel Lane, Longton, Preston, PR4 5EB Telephone: 01772 685696 Website: www.clearwaterfp.co.uk Clearwater Financial planning is also a subscriber to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) who are an independent third party to which customers can refer complaints to if they cannot be resolved amicably with the firm.
