What’s new

FOX & GRAPES Sneinton’s famous pub Peggers Inn, opens once again after more than ten vacant years under its new name, The Fox & Grapes!

With the people of Nottingham casting their vote to decide the name of the pub for its re-opening, The Fox & Grapes takes back its original name from the 1830s. There are various nods to the pub’s vast heritage, including the iconic “Peggers” pub sign suspended just above the bar.

The single-room pub also has an outdoor seating area on either side of the pub, perfect for enjoying the atmosphere of the local Sneinton Market and Creative Quarter events.

You can expect the usual diverse and high quality selection of cask, keg and craft beers that Castle Rock pubs are renowned for, plus a great range of spirits, wines, coffees and soft drinks.

The Fox’s food menu offers a unique and delicious take on simple dishes like hand-stretched pizza, jacket potatoes and fresh platters. It’s a particularly good spot for vegan and gluten free diners to enjoy a bite.

NO.12 HOUNDS GATE No.12 at Hounds Gate, opening 5 days a week, is an independent Vegetarian & Vegan cafe based in Nottingham City Centre.

They pride themselves on creating beautifully fresh and innovative hand-crafted recipes, that expands so much further than a mushroom risotto or a nutloaf!

The cafe relishes Nottingham’s brunch culture and on top of our signature smørrebrød, they’ll be serving top class coffee (Outpost Coffee), their own health kick sodas, smoothie shots, veggie and vegan cakes, pastries, granola popsicles and lots more.

All their produce and ingredients comes from locally sourced suppliers.

Owners Ritchie and Lauren, have an interest for the important things in life, good food and drink, music, art and having a good old time!

After playing around with their culinary skills for years now they are more than excited for what the future holds for No.12 at Hounds Gate.

GINCIDENT

Drinking Gin in Nottingham has just got a whole lot better, with the opening of the city centre’s first dedicated gin bar. With 130 different varieties, Gincident on Friar Lane is a gin lover’s dream.

Owners John and Max are big fans of gin, which was partly behind their motivation to open Gincident. There are a lot of different varieties that are on trend and up-market.

As well as a large number of gins from the UK we have gin from Canada, Slovenia, New Zealand, Belgium, Sweden, USA, Australia and many other countries.

The choice of fruity gins is extremely popular, with rhubarb being most people’s flavour of choice. We even have our very own exclusive range from Black Powder, with some very different flavours which are great when mixed with Prosecco.

But, if gin isn’t to your taste they have draught lager, wine, prosecco, champagne, vodka, rum, whiskey and soft drinks available.

MOJO started with, are you ready for it... their crispy FINDING ITS NEW HOME IN THE We fried mashed potato Tayto Tots, Corn Puppies CONTINUOUSLY THRIVING AREA (corned battered hot dog skewers that placed me straight in America) and Chicken Wings dripping in OF HOCKLEY, MOJO OFFERS peanut butter and strawberry jam.

AN AMERICAN STYLE ‘LEAVE DISHEVELLED OR DINER WITH A LATE LEAVE NOW’ NIGHT BAR TWIST. You might have been lucky enough to experience MOJO in some close-by cities and if you have, then I am sure you are with us when we say we are more than thrilled to finally have our own.

The existing venues have already won a bunch of awards for best night out and best bar.

With their newest bar in ten years, MOJO Nottingham comes with a £500,000 head to toe make-over inside its 19th century Grade II listed building.

Neon signs and music legends are scattered around the building with walls of vintage photographs and posters of famous faces.

Now it’s clear to say, if you want a great party, 7 days a week (yes they are open until 3am every night!) filled with tasty cocktails and table dancing then MOJO gives you everything you need.

After all, with the bars slogan ‘Leave Dishevelled or Leave Now’ hanging in bright lights, then you know what you are getting.

THEY ARE OPEN UNTIL 3AM EVERY NIGHT! But wait, there’s more…

They have ‘surprisingly good’ food too and you can order whatever you want up until 11pm. Sitting down with MOJO’s fabulous PR team and owner Mal Evans, we were treated to a fully loaded, stomach stretching, mouth watering feast!

6 | IN Nottingham | October 2017

Complimented with umami and chipotle dipping sauce, we were almost dribbling and our taste buds were being totally tickled.

Next, we tucked into some fried Mac and cheese balls with a gooey and spicy centre, garlic butter fries, fried corn on the cob with a tasty spiced butter dripped over the top. Then we had some ribs and MOJO’s very own Hangover Burger which came with a bacon patty, hash brown, grilled cheese, a friend egg and breakfast sauce.

Three words, Oh My God! Now I think it’s fair to say, when you eat at MOJO you do exactly that, EAT so come willing!

MOJO offers naughty yet delicious food, heavenly cocktails and a hot new venue and we can’t wait to go back.

You’ll find them on Thurland Street.

POLISHED NO MAKEUP LOOK AUTUMN HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SEASONS FOR MAKEUP. IT’S THE PERFECT TRANSITION FROM SUMMER’S DEWY, SUN KISSED SKIN, INTO WINTER’S FULL COVERAGE, MATTE AND HEAVY MAKEUP. THIS SEASON’S TREND IS ABOUT HAVING A POLISHED, “NO MAKEUP” LOOK. I LOVE THIS, AS YOU’RE JUST ENHANCING YOUR NATURAL BEAUTY.

LIPS

Now if you really want to stay 100% true to the polished no makeup look, then just apply your favourite lip balm, mine is Nuxe Reve de Miel - it’s super nourishing...and tasty!

If you’re a lippy lover like me, then go for nude “your lips, but better” semi matte shades, Here’s some of my favs: •MAC Faux •Maybelline Colour Sensational - Creamy Matte - Smoky Rose •NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm.

THE BASE

I recommend Urban decay’s One and Done. This isn’t officially a foundation, but everyone uses it as that.

It’ll give you enough coverage to hide any blemishes, but still let your sun kissed skin show through giving you a lovely semi-matte finish.

It’s perfect for all skin types, even with my oily skin, this is probably the only base that I don’t need to set with powder.

If you feel you also need some concealer, only use a tiny amount.

BROWS

If you’re lucky enough to have full thick brows then all you would need is a brow gel to tidy and set them in place.

For most of us we need a litte pencil or powder.

I recommend Benefit’s Precisely My Brow Pencil.

With 6 shades to choose from and a hard, non waxy formula, it’ll help you create perfect polish brows.

10 | IN Nottingham | October 2017

EYESHADOW

Even with a no makeup look, eyeshadow can still help make you look more awake and give your eyes some shape, but stick with nude shades.

I love this palette by NIP+FAB, it’s got a great mix of cool and warm tones, matte and shimmer - it’s practically the perfect palette!

All you need is 2 fluffy blending brushes and use the 4 shades in the top left corner to achieve a natural eye look.

HOW TO HANDLE GOING BOLD

WHEN YOU HAVE HAIR IT’S EASY TO CHOOSE A HAIR STYLE AND TRY DIFFERENT THINGS. WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU’RE SOMEONE WHO’S BEGINNING TO BALD OR IS BALD? FIRST OF ALL, DON’T FALL INTO THE TRAP OF THINKING YOU’RE GOING TO LOOK BAD BALD. BRING OUT THE ACCESSORIES Going bald boils down to having one less thing to work with in your overall style. You need to find something else to replace what’s missing.

Accessories are the easiest and quickest option to make up for a lack of hair. Hats, glasses, jewellery, you name it…

FACIAL HAIR One of the biggest things you can do for the greatest impact to pair with going bald is a beard.

A beard will help you look great while going bald.

By Dan Sinnott (Blogger) If you’re unsure what kind of beard will look good on you the best go to is your standard full beard.

Give it 2 months of full growth and then trim it with a #3 hair clipper guard will usually give you a nice beard.

There are many reasons to be bald with a beard and you must admit the facial hair looks great on other bald men you’ve seen.

BENEFITS TO BEING BALD

Women Like It – While going bald isn’t the best way to attract females you must admit they do love it.

Women like men who are confident and being confident enough to embrace your baldness, is attractive.

Masculine – When you’re bald you immediately gain this illusion of dominance. It just comes with the territory and you look more masculine.

What guy wouldn’t want to appear even slightly Time and Money – Once shaving your head more masculine without putting in much effort? becomes routine you’ll no longer need to see 10 X 14 CHIPS AWAY:Layout 1 28/10/2013 12:05 Page 1 a barber.

Think of the amount of time and money you’ll save overall. Comparing the cost to shaving your head compared to trying to regrow hair through products or surgery it starts to not look so bad.

The Interview

PERLINI THE FAMILY NAME MAKING ITS MARK ACROSS THE HOCKEY WORLD ris

By Ch

Ellis

ONLY THE VERY FEW MAKE THE GRADE TO PLAY ICE HOCKEY IN NORTH AMERICA. IT IS CANADA’S NATIONAL SPORT AND THE AMERICANS LOVE IT - YOU ALMOST CAN’T TURN A CORNER WITHOUT FINDING AN ICE RINK, OR MOST LIKELY A HOCKEY MAD FAMILY’S BACK YARD TURNED INTO AN ICE RINK. The people of Nottingham certainly love their ice hockey too, as more than 5,000 turn out every week to watch Nottingham Panthers play at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham and the club regularly has 6,300 sell-out crowds, especially against arch rivals Sheffield Steelers.

The sport’s famous old names roll off the tongue; Gretzky, Orr, Howe, Lemieux to name but a few, while Sydney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin are two of the players who have been on everyone’s lips for the last decade or so and now new stars are being born, such as Toronto Maple Leafs’ Auston Matthews.

In Nottingham, most people have heard of Zamick, Strongman, Adey, Hadden and Nieckar and the 16 | IN Nottingham | October 2017

more recent heroes such as current coach Corey Neilson and prolific British forward David Clarke.

It has been a great start to the season for the Panthers as they top their Champions League group, producing three wins from four matches against sides with far superior budgets than their own.

The results of the lowest-ranked side and 32nd seed have included a 4-2 victory over Swiss side Bern, who are seeded fourth in the prestigious European tournament.

The name Perlini is one which is well known in UK ice hockey, especially in Nottingham, but now across the ice hockey world - and 27-year-old Brett Perlini is ready to start a new chapter with Nottingham Panthers.

Not many British players get drafted in the NHL but Brett and his younger brother Brendan have both been drafted, with Brett being picked in the seventh round by Anaheim Ducks in 2010.

Brendan, 21, was amongst the top prospects in the 2014 draft, being picked 12th in the first round by Arizona Coyotes and he had his breakthrough in the NHL last season.

Brett’s dad, Fred, played for the Panthers in 198687, where he scored a staggering 89 goals in 35 matches and went on to ice for numerous clubs in the UK, including Fife Flyers, Streatham Redskins and Guildford Flames.

The Perlini brothers are proof that players from the UK can make it in some of the best leagues in the world, but how tough is it making it in North

America when you are from Great Britain, who are ranked 24th in the world?

“At first I think people would look and go ‘oh this guy is from England’, so you definitely have to do your talking on the ice,” Perlini said. “You just need to go out and score a couple of goals and then they go ‘oh yes, he’s legit’.

“I think a lot of the kids in this country think the Canadians are so good at hockey, which they are, but a lot of kids from the UK are right there with them.”

Brett’s younger brother, Brendan, is a great example with the 21-year-old appearing 57 times for NHL side Arizona Coyotes last season, scoring 14 goals and contributing seven assists for 21 points.

“WE WANT TO START AT A GOOD PACE AND SET THE TONE FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON”

“I think the young kids should look at the North America route, like my brother and I took, and my brother is a good example,” continued Perlini.

“He played hockey in England and now he is in the NHL, so it definitely can be done and hopefully that can inspire young players.”

Panthers have made a great start in the CHL and need one more win from their final two group games to guarantee their progress to the knockout stages, but that must wait until October as the domestic campaign now comes to the fore.

“We had some good games in Europe and we are looking to take that into the league now,” continued Perlini. “We want to start at a good pace and set the tone for the rest of the season.

“We have to take the confidence from the Champions Hockey League and use it in a good way. You can’t look at any opponent differently.

You just have to play your game and make them adapt to you.

“Teams will have seen how well we have done in the CHL and they will be after us. It’s an added pressure we will have to deal with but we are looking forward to it.

DEAR CHOCOLATE, WE LOVE YOU! WE VISITED STUDIO CHOCOLATE AND MET UP WITH FOUNDER AND CHOCOLATIER, ELLIE WHARRAD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME CREATIVELY DECORATED TASTY TREATS, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER. After always being a fond foodie and with little idea on which direction to go following her A-Levels, Ellie decided she was going to do something she loved.

After researching various options, she discovered Le Cordon Bleu London and enrolled on a Pastry & Confectionery programme.

As part of the Diplôme de Pâtisserie, which is recognised globally as one of the most respected culinary qualifications in pastry and baking, Ellie expanded her knowledge through the teachings of the schools classically trained Pâtisserie Chefs.

It was here that Ellie fell in love with the art of chocolate and all the different ways chocolate can be used to create artistic masterpieces, from painting through to sculpting.

Following a trip to Belgium with her mum, visiting an array of delicious chocolate shops, Ellie was inspired by a mandarin flavoured chocolate yet surprised that most of the shops were offering their naughty nibbles in the same colour – and voila, an idea was born.

20 | IN Nottingham | October 2017

By Ho llie R owso n-D

Once home, Ellie started practicing at home with paints and chocolate and discovered her flair. With the use of social media, the creations were pushed out into the public eye and the response she received was amazing.

With timing on side and Christmas fast approaching, Ellie began to receive order queries from businesses as well as individuals looking for

ilks

the perfect gift for their family, colleagues and friends.

In March 2015, a 3rd floor studio in the centre of Nottingham became available to rent and there began Studio Chocolate.

Later that year, Ellie created The Artist Collection - a range of chocolates inspired in taste and design by different famous artists.

A FAVOURITE PIECE OF ELLIE’S IS THE VENUS CHOCOLATE WITH A TASTE OF RHUBARB AND CUSTARD!

With demand continuously increasing and constant enquiries about classes, Studio Chocolate expanded to the buildings 1st floor studio where they now host classes, parties and have a shop area.

As well as The Artist collection, Studio Chocolate also have The Cosmic Collection, inspired by the Solar System. A favourite piece of Ellie’s is the Venus chocolate with a taste of rhubarb and custard!

The collections are painted to perfection and almost look too good to eat - almost! Be sure to keep a look out for a new exciting collection that will come out over the next few months.

As well as their delectable chocolate goodies, Studio Chocolate can also create, bake and decorate heavenly cakes. If you have your perfect cake in mind, Ellie welcomes your input for the size, flavour, style and personalisation with a wonderful bunch of options to choose from.

IT’S THE BEST THING THAT WE COULD’VE DONE TO TAKE STUDIO CHOCOLATE TO THE NEXT STAGE, IT’S AN INCREDIBLE SPACE TO WORK IN! Offering a range of different parties and classes, you can taste and create your own chocolates with friends, family, colleagues, your partner or even spoil the kids with a children’s party.

Learn everything there is to know with a one-toone masterclass and walk away with your very own handmade chocolates. I mean who wouldn’t want to spend a few hours learning about and feasting on chocolate?

employee and Ellie will be moving into more of a managerial role.

With goals to eventually branch out to other cities we have no doubt that Studio Chocolate will continue its success in the years to come!

Head to studio-chocolate.co.uk for more details.

Or find the shop at 3 Cobden Chambers, Pelham Street, NG1 3ED If you want to read more about Ellie, head to elliewharrad.co.uk @_studiochocolate @elliewharrard

ACCESSORIZE Statement Stone Tassel Earrings £12

I’m really loving them right now. I think my fascination with the tassel started when I bought a summer beach bag with them on and was obsessed and then they transitioned onto shoes, hats and now earrings and they’re EVERYWHERE. I think they’re my favourite trend so far. They go with everything from jeans and tees to sweaters, day dresses to formal dresses, they are also diverse for all seasons just by switching out the colours and can also bring a pop of colour to any outfit.

5 LEATHER SHOES EVERY MAN SHOULD OWN an

By D

FAR TOO MANY MEN STOCK THEIR CLOSET WITH A HALF DOZEN PAIRS OF THE SAME TYPE OF SHOE, YOU NEED A LIT TLE DIVERSITY IN YOUR LIFE! BELOW YOU’LL FIND FIVE SHOES THAT SHOULD BE SIT TING IN YOUR CLOSET TODAY. CHELSEA OOT The Chelsea boot is a great one to wear when the temperature drops, but when you still need something to wear that looks good in the office.

These boots are lace-less, so they are much better at keeping your feet and ankles warm.

You can find many great looking Chelsea boots that integrate modern soles, so they’re also extremely comfortable as well.

Chelsea boots pair well with business casual clothing like jeans and cords.

SLIM BLACK OXFORD The slim black Oxford is another staple of the business world.

But the great part about either the shoe or boot version of this classic piece of footwear is that you can also use it as a substitute for the patent leather shoes that you traditionally wear with a tuxedo.

DARK BROWN OXFORD The dark brown oxford is a staple of the office, and one item that every man should have at least one pair of. Not only do they go great with a suit, but they can just as easily dress down as well.

CHUKKA’S The Chukka, or Desert Boot, is a staple of hipster culture across the country, but it also finds its way into the closets of many men because of its classic looks and casual attitude.

The latest trend is to get Chukkas in a softer material like suede, but having a leather Chukkas is a far better long-term decision.

The leather Chukka is a classic, and one that can stand up to a surprising amount of punishment.

You should pair these boots with a nice pair of jeans for a night out on the town.

RUGGED WORK BOOT Unlike the casual boot mentioned above, there are some situations that call for a serious piece of footwear that you can put into almost any situation that you find yourself in.

Having a rugged work boot is less about style than it is about keeping yourself safe, but that doesn’t mean that they have to look bad.

You can find plenty of work boots that look great, but that fit the rugged boot criteria.

BEAUTIFUL BOLOGNA

ALISTAIR BELL AT JUST JOURNEY HAS JUST RETURNED FROM EXPLORING NORTHERN ITALY AND WAS TAKEN BY THE CULINARY DELIGHTS ON OFFER IN THE CITY OF BOLOGNA.

By Al

istair

Bell ( Ju s t J ourne y

)

The city itself is in central northern Italy, close to Florence and not far from Milan in one direction and Venice in another.

Bologna, as the name suggests, is most famous for being the birthplace of Bolognese sauce, known locally as ragu.

It provides visitors with an authentic Italian experience, from the red tiled rooftops and historic towers in the old town, to the fantastic food.

However, don’t be tempted to ask for a spaghetti Bolognese when there, as tagliatelle is the pasta used to accompany this dish!

Walking through the city’s narrow streets, you get a real sense of its culinary prowess with eating establishments spilling out on to the pavements everywhere.

The city is also famous for tortellini and you can see it being made in the deli’s and restaurants as you walk around the city centre.

All ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, which only enhances the taste and experience of eating the most traditional and authentic Italian food you are likely to find.

There are plenty to choose from and lots of deli’s selling meats, cheeses and freshly made pasta to get the taste buds going.

Many of the restaurants in Bologna are relaxed places to enjoy the local wine, whilst sharing a platter of the local cheeses and cured meats which is a must do when visiting the city.

To end your meal, there are also plenty of desserts to choose from, or visit one of the cities many ‘gelataria’s’ for some of Italy’s best ice cream!

If wanting to experience the city’s famous ‘tagliatelle’ Bolognese or its tortellini, you can be sure that the pasta will have been hand made earlier in the day.

SOPHISTICATED NEUTRALS

AUTUMN IS HERE AND THAT MEANS TWO THINGS: WE SAY GOODBYE TO SUNNY SKIES AND DITCH THE BOLD SUMMER COLOURS IN OUR HOMES. We had so much fun splashing bright colours anywhere we could this summer, but now it’s time to create a cosy sanctuary, where you can relax and seek warmth on these chilly evenings.

Using muted colours and soft neutrals are exactly the way to do this.

If you are new to the interior design world and unsure where to go with this delightfully subtle trend, then start with a neutral colour scheme and add in some muted shades such as a pale pink with a gentle shade of light blue.

26 | IN Nottingham | October 2017

Take a look at these Classic Scatter linen cushions on Loaf.com for £45.00 – we love the vintage Pale Rose and Cloud Blue pieces.

One thing we do love once the winter nights set in are warm rugs and knit throws.

We found this gorgeous Plush Sand Shaggy Rug on modern-rugs.co.uk – not only do they offer the rug in an array of sizes, ideal for any room but they also give us a handful of charming muted colours to choose from (prices start from around £114.00).

Scatter Cushions Loaf.com - £45

Lorena 2.5 Seater Sofa in Bali Mercuiro - Darlings of Chelsea - £1745 Snuggle on the sofa with this Blue Knitted Throw from The Contemporary Home (£50.00) or use it as an extra layer over your bed when you need some extra warmth.

The best thing about muted tones is that you can use them in any room – take the calming influence of soothing pale pink and add it to your bedroom with some soft grey furniture.

If you’re after a new sofa then check out this Lorena Sofa from Darlings of Chelsea. It’s a timeless style with its sleek metal frame legs and square styling on the arms and cushions.

There’s no ironing needed (every little helps) and prices start from £40.00.

And as the saying goes, good things come in three’s and we think a mix and max of the Daventry range from melodymaison.co.uk including a wardrobe, chest of draws and bedside works beautifully to compliment any pink or duck egg hue.

However you decide to use muted tones this is a trend that can continue throughout your home even after autumn has passed.

If the summer bolds scared you a little, this trend is the perfect one to have a play around with!

Daventry Range Melodymaison.co.uk £500

This gorgeous sofa has manually adjustable headrests and recliner and chaise options available, making it luxuriously comfortable to relax on.

Loaf.com offers a simple yet stunning Lazy Linen Duvet Set, available in several sizes and comes in Dusty Pink or Duck Egg.

Knitted Throw - The Contemporary Home - £50

THE HEALTH & FITNESS INDUSTRY IS GROWING EVERYDAY AND NUTRITION IS A HUGE PART OF THAT. Since I started Personal Training, I've had a lot of people ask me for meal/diet plans. This will get a straight-up no from me.

A diet plan is something you would maybe stick to for a few weeks to get in that dress or to shed a few pounds for a wedding. I don't agree with it.

Your nutrition should be something you want to change for good; not for the next few weeks and finish when you can't be bothered anymore.

IT’S 80% DIET, 20% TRAINING. You can't out-train bad nutrition. It doesn't matter how many times you workout a week... If your eating isn't on point, you can ruin all the hard work you're putting in at the gym or elsewhere.

I follow the 'If It Fits Your Macros' approach to eating and have done for the past 4 or so years.

Your macros are your proteins, carbs and fats and 28 | IN Nottingham | October 2017

r)

TRAIN DIRTY as long as you're within your calorie range and are hitting your macro numbers, you don't have to restrict yourself from eating anything.

I will always tell my clients the same. If you're eating below your maintenance calories, (the amount of calories you can eat to maintain your current weight), you will lose weight. If you eat above your maintenance calories, you will gain weight.

IT’S CALORIES IN VS CALORIES OUT. I'm no Nutritionist, but it's honestly not that hard.

It's much simpler than some will make you believe.

However, I'm not going to advise you to go and smash a Big Mac because you've got 1000 calories left for the day.

You could do, but you have to also think about the macro ratios within that food. How does the fat content compare to the protein content?

Macro numbers are just as important as calorie numbers.

If your diet is mostly healthy, whole nutritious foods, and you're hitting your macros, you will have room for treats.

WHEN I’M TRYING TO LOSE A BIT OF FAT, MY DIET WON’T CHANGE. My calories will be reduced, but I won't restrict myself from eating anything. I've learnt from the past that restricting certain food groups does you no favours.

Your brain will instantly tell you that you want that food, even if you actually don't! As soon as you reintroduce it in to your diet, you will most likely regain weight as your calories will be higher again.

It just isn't sustainable. Working the foods you love in to your daily calories is much more beneficial.

Fitness isn't about sacrificing everything you love and swapping it for chicken, broccoli and rice every single day.

If you like that, that's fine! But it's about finding the balance between healthy and enjoyable!
