The Cock Hotel Wellington

Local wellington residents queued outside Joule's Brewery's latest project awaiting the opening of its flagship pub for Telford. The Cock Hotel Wellington, following a refurbishment that took over two years, investing over £1m in the project is the largest pub refurbishment that the Shropshire brewery has undertaken.

The Cock Hotel has been substantially extended with a new state of the art kitchen facility, the new room which features a six-meter bi-fold door crafted by local oak specialist Venables opens the whole area onto the courtyard, a bespoke steel ceiling was made by Minshall's of Market Drayton along with steel windows hand made by Ferro of Market Drayton. The original bars have all been restored by master craftsman Eddie Chapman Smith. Forman Chris Blase ‘It has been a huge overall team effort, along with all the Joules projects, we work as a team, the trades all input into the design, so we deliver the detail that characterises Joule's pubs, we are all really chuffed with this one.

We can’t wait to let locals see our work and for us to be a part of Wellington, to have the Cock back in Joule’s livery is a landmark for us and despite the difficulties of the last couple of years, we could not be happier with the overall result.

This well-known pub has been lovingly revived, but don’t worry - we’ve managed to keep the character of this fantastic building, and added a modern twist.

The welcome is warm, the ale is cold and the food is delicious. We are child friendly, and also dog friendly, with lots of dining space both indoors and outside too.

The magic of John Rutter and Ariel Ramirez –

Both compositions will be performed by Shrewsbury Choral, accompanied by distinguished tenor Jonathan Cooke and highly renowned mezzosoprano Felicity Buckland, with the performances conducted by the urbane Dr Martin Cook. Martin Cook, conductor said: “Criolla Misa, is a mass based on folk genres such as chacarera, carnavalito and estilo pampeano, with Andean influences and instruments and it will be ideal for our acclaimed soloists; tenor Jonathan Cooke and mezzo-soprano Felicity Buckland, and indeed the superlative voices of Shrewsbury Choral. As one of the first masses to be celebrated in a modern language, and written between 1963 Shrewsbury Abbey and1964 by Ramirez, the audience will be both excited and moved by this special masterpiece. John Rutter, English composer and conductor; of international fame is well-known to Shrewsbury Choral audiences as we have performed his illustrious works on many occasions. Feel the Spirit is a cycle of seven familiar spirituals, expertly arranged by John Rutter and explores the rich heritage of spirituality. He is accomplished at the composition of sacred choral works that really do lift the spirit. This work will bring new meaning to well-loved titles such as Steal Away, I got a Robe and When the Saints go Marching in …The work brings new life to well-loved titles such as Steal away, I got a Robe, and When the Saints go Marching In… amongst many other favourites that Shrewsbury Choral are going to showcase their musicality!” Thelma Foster, Chairman of Shrewsbury Choral said: “This evening’s entertainment is simply inspired and an emotional feast to be enjoyed.

SHREWSBURY FOOD FESTIVAL

Returns to Shrewsbury Quarry on 25th & 26th June!

Shropshire’s thriving food scene is celebrated annually in the 29 acres of parkland of Shrewsbury Quarry. In the festival’s 10-year history, it has been voted Best Food Festival in the Midlands multiple times.

The Shropshire Festivals team will once again be providing a weekend of foodie, family entertainment, celebrating lots of amazing independent businesses from the region and beyond. Organisers are lining up 200 food, drink, home and garden stalls, tasty street food, plus beer, wine, gin, and fizz bars. Talented chefs from the region such as Stuart Collins, James Sherwin, Chris Burt, Rob Gibson, Jimmy Worrel and Gareth Howard, will be leading talks, demonstrations and cookalongs, and they will be joined for the weekend by multi-Michelin star and 5 out of 5 AA Rosette winning chef, JeanChristophe Novelli. For the first time, the food festival will be dropping all mainstream alcohol brands so only our local, independent breweries, vineyards and distilleries are enjoyed and championed. The Shropshire Distillery will be running a gin and cocktail bar at the festival, “We’re looking forward to being a big part of the Shrewsbury Food Festival again this year and serving up our locally produced handcrafted spirits,” says Emma Glynn from the distillery. “It has become the premier event for celebrating independent food and drink businesses from the region. We’re proud to be sponsoring the Chef Talks and Demonstrations Stage for the second year running, where the biggest chef names will be all weekend.” Shropshire Festivals are offering bursary places to fledgling food and drink businesses in need of a leg up in to the lime light. They are also in search of more home and garden stalls for the Monk’s home and garden zone. This event is more of a mammoth day out for all, than a run-of-the-mill food festival, with a live music stage hosting top local bands all weekend (including Dirty Rockin Scoundrels, Chasing August and Lost The Plot), a huge free kids’ zone featuring a circus big top, a BBQ competition, Fire Stage, and educational Field and Fork area with piglets, alpacas and ducklings. They promise the biggest STEM offering to date. There will also be a family entertainment stage, with performances from ‘Get Your Wigle On’ delighting audiences again. Beth Heath, Director of Fun for the event, said, “Join us again for a beautiful, sunny weekend of amazing food, drink and entertainment. You will get so much more out of the festival than you will ever expect - try a glider simulation, visit the Marmite stand, enter a prison van, try axe throwing or challenge yourself to try every single food product in the festival! This is a must visit event this summer – there is something for everyone!” For more information and to buy tickets visit:

Shrewsbury couple take their catering skills

to Poland to help Ukrainian refugeesStand with Ukraine...

A couple from Shrewsbury took their catering skills to the Polish/Ukrainian border to help provide meals for Ukrainian refugees and completed the journey by bringing a stranded Ukrainian family back to Poland.

Former teacher Angela Auerbach and her husband Nic launched The Gorgeous Pizza Company Ltd in the midst of lockdown after moving to Shrewsbury from Leicestershire in 2020. They have been supported by the Silverpreneurs® scheme which helps the over-50s in setting up or revitalising their own businesses. But Angela and Nic put their business aspirations on hold after seeing the horror of the refugee crisis in war-torn Ukraine. They travelled to the Polish border town of Przemysl to work with the international relief agencies for a week, preparing and serving food to the thousands of refugees arriving across the border every day. They had also raised funds locally before leaving which they used to buy supplies and equipment to take over the border to the Ukrainian city of Lviv to help the refugee crisis. Angela said that she and Nic had watched the news coverage of the invasion of Ukraine and decided they had to act. “We did some fund raising and then travelled to Przemysl to work with the World Central Kitchen where we were prepping food and serving in the reception centres. “We were also able to use the money that people had donated to buy supplies and equipment to take to Lviv to help with the relief effort there. When we came back over the border we brought a mother and her two teenage children with us. “They had come to Lviv from the capital Kyiv and had been sheltering underground for nine days after the building next to theirs was bombed,” said Angela. She explained how they had seen almost constant air raids during their journey across the border and later found out about the bombing of the Ukrainian military base near Lviv. “We are still trying to process what we saw over there. It is almost impossible to describe the scene with so many people arriving over the border on foot every day. We were mobbed by people asking for help –it was really quite manic,” said Angela. The mother and her teenage children went on to Poznan in Poland and have since been granted UK visas and been matched with a family. They are due to arrive in this country in May. “We have kept in touch with them and will see them again when they arrive in the UK. The teenage son celebrated his 16th birthday the day we arrived back in Poland – it was very difficult to appreciate what they had been through,” said Angela. Now the couple, who have a stall in Wellington Market as well as an event catering company, are planning to return to the Polish border in June to help with the relief efforts. They are continuing to raise funds through the Ukraine Food Appeal. Donations can be made at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/feed-

From the moment you arrive you are made to feel at home. The approach is friendly and relaxed, and the welcome is warm. My Recent visit was to sample the much talked afternoon tea that I had heard so much about and I was really looking forward to it. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the interior of the building offers a homely feeling, making you very comfortable from the off. Sandie welcomed us with open arms and settled us down in the lounge area near to the grand fire place, which brings plenty of character in the room.

We chatted a little and then decided to take a look around the country house, before Afternoon Tea. There are 5 bedrooms, 4 double rooms and 1 family room which sleep up to 4. The bedrooms are furnished to a high standard and offer a comfortable base to explore the local area.

Then it was time for tea, so we made our way into the dining room which also has a lovely cosy fire place, adding character to the room. First of all was a cup of traditional tea with other teas and coffee also available. Next arrived a lovely 3 tier cake stand, stacked with glorious treats which looked fantastic! With a selection of tasty sandwiches, a couple of freshly made scones and an assortment of cakes, I was in my element. We

Overall it’s a great Afternoon tea, offering lots of variation; it is available every day from 2pm to 4pm (Sundays available for large bookings only) at a very reasonable price of just £14 per person.

decided to start with the sandwiches; egg and mayonnaise, cheese and tomato and tuna and sweetcorn – absolute classics. Good fresh ingredients and a nice start to the afternoon.

Next up was the homemade scones served with jam and cream, they were still warm and melted in my mouth with every bite – with just the perfect texture; light and crumbly. Finally we moved on to the selection of cakes which included an indulgent chocolate éclair with gooey topping and fresh cream oozing out from the light pastry, and a zesty lemon tart with just the right amount of zingy filling and crusty pastry; a real treat. The selection of sandwiches and cakes varies from day to day.

There’s more to Cleo’s Than Cocktails...

Cleo’s of Ironbridge

www.facebook.com/Cleos-of-Ironbridge

“So, what to do and where to eat” was the question we asked ourselves on a rather lovely, Good Friday evening? With a world heritage site right on our doorstep we decided to take a stroll by the picturesque and worldfamous Ironbridge then finish the evening off with a bite to eat and maybe some entertainment. Cleo’s of Ironbridge was our chosen destination, a wellestablished Cocktail Bar and Eatery providing an extensive drinks menu and a select choice of homemade food and light snacks. When we entered Cleo’s, we were struck by the modish vibe provided by the various wall art features and stylish lighting. Greeted by warm and friendly staff, Debbie and I were shown to our table where the menu was explained, and the cocktail specials were highlighted. With a 2 for £12 offer on cocktails we opted for an old favourite, Pina Coladas. The familiar trio of flavours Rum, Coconut and pineapple were professionally mixed to deliver quite possibly the best pina colada we had tasted. Evening Menu options offer light bites such as Omelettes, Salads, Wraps, Sandwiches, Toasties and house specialities Tapas and homemade pizzas. All can be accompanied by Skin on fires, Cheese fries, sweet potato fries or Cajun chicken with jalapenos. Whilst trying to decide we were introduced to Mike and Gail the current owners, they took over Cleo’s 3 years ago, so are very pleased to be getting back to normality and greeting customers again. Taking their advice, we opted for a pizza as the dough is a traditional Italian family recipe and drawing on their time running a restaurant in Greece, we opted for a Caesar salad. Service was brisk and we were soon eying a table of freshly made food – we couldn’t wait to get stuck in; it all looked delicious. The pizza did not disappoint the thin and crispy base easily supported and complemented the topping of buffalo mozzarella and fresh tomato. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh with the grilled chicken cooked to perfection; the tangy

dressing really enhanced the simplicity of this dish and in conjunction with the homemade crispy croutons every forkful was a taste of spring. As filling as these two dishes were we still managed to sample the sweet potato fries that really melt in the mouth with the perfect amount of seasoning. How do we end a meal of such delights? With a Cleo’s speciality milkshake, available in a variety of flavours and with the option of adding an alcohol shot who could possibly say no? Served in a cocktail mason jar this thick and creamy shake was bursting with fruit flavours making every sip wishing you had ordered one much earlier. Cleo’s is not just a great place to eat and experience real cocktails but also offers regular live music events and even have their own exclusive upper VIP area that can be hired for that extra special evening. An outside seating area that is dog friendly makes Cleo’s a real gem in the gorge for family dining. But don’t take our word for it, pop along and see Mike and Gail’s Cleo’s for yourself!

Love Telford! Telford named ‘second cleanest city’

in the UK...

Telford and Wrekin has been named as the second cleanest city in the UK in a recent survey by ‘GetAgent’ which explores homeowner buying preferences.

A clean city score of 8.26 (compared with winners Newcastle upon Tyne at 8.39) was generated by scoring a host of different factors from waste expenditure, air quality, recycling rates and overall cleanliness and tidiness. Telford also topped the tables for resident ratings with the second highest score and came fourth overall, for household waste sent for recycling (per 10,000 people). These scores support findings earlier in the year that showed Telford & Wrekin Council’s household recycling rate increased by 1.2% from 2019/20 to 2020/21, successfully bucking the national trend which saw the country’s average reduce by 1.7%. Data also showed that the council’s household recycling rate for 20/21 was 4.4% above the official recycling rate for England. Building on this success, the council launched a campaign to drive recycling rates in other areas of daily life, focusing on its parks to support recycling ‘on-the-go’. In October 2021, the council installed 25 recycling on-the-go bins in Telford Town Park and immediately saw an uplift in the volume of waste being diverted to recycling, with early figures showing the amount of target materials collected increased by 123 per cent. Along with efficient waste disposal, pollution levels also fall under recommended exposure thresholds set by the World Health Organisation (WHO), meaning that the air in Telford and Wrekin is ideal for people who enjoy being outdoors. Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services, Regeneration and the High Street, Councillor Lee Carter (Lab) said: “This is fantastic news and shows how much effort goes into keeping Telford and Wrekin a clean, green and safe place to live. My congratulations go to everyone who plays a part, from residents and street champions to all the crews who clean the street signs, collect litter and clear away fly tips. “We are continually pushing to raise standards and I’m particularly pleased about the resident rating score and coming second against big cities like York or beautiful historic places like Oxford and Cambridge. Telford also has 17 Local Nature Reserves and one of the country’s top ten Green Flag parks, all owned and managed by the council, who have recently committed £3m to further protecting and enhancing Telford and Wrekin’s green and open spaces. The final score was assigned out of 10 for various factors, before taking an average to give a final score out of 10. GetAgent began by looking at the 100 most populated cities and towns across England, and removed any, where data was not available leaving 40 cities in total.
