ew Image has been a destination store for 37 years.

Since expanding the upper sales floor it has become the go to place for a special outfit for all those memorable events, including weddings, birthdays, days at the races, holidays and cruising.

On the ground floor the boutique stocks a great choice of daywear, dressy casual wear always stylish and on-trend perfect wardrobe pieces for more lowkey social occasions, plus shoes, boots and accessories.

The upper sales floor area rails are adorned with special occasion wear, from many well known and not so well known designers. Veni Infantino, designer of the year winner 2023, is once again the label that is dazzling New Image customers along with Condici, ISPIRATO, Carla Ruiz, Joseph Ribkoff and many more.

New Image has dressed a lot of ladies in 2023, whether that’s for weddings, special events, holidays or for everyday wear. They have also dressed dignitaries, including previous Master Cutlers, the High Sheriff and the Mayor of Rotherham.

In September, New Image were invited to showcase their collections at a fabulous charity fashion show at Wentworth Woodhouse, which was organised by outgoing Master Cutler, Dame Julie Kenny, and was part of the Master Cutler’s Challenge.

Dame Julie is the Chair of Trustees of the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust and spent much of her year in office raising money for various projects relating to the spectacular house, “Wentworth Woodhouse was such a wonderful and beautiful setting for showcasing our collections,” recalled Lesley. “I would like to thank all the models who looked so stylish and did a fabulous job.

“Our first section gave ladies a taste of sweaters, jeans and knitted dresses by Marble and stylish coats perfect for a day racing. We moved into smarter wear from Joseph Ribkoff and sparkly evening wear from Carla Ruiz.

“The second half showcased our sensational Mother of the Bride outfits

N

from Veni Infantino, ISPIRATO, Condici, Carla Ruiz and Lizabell, each outfit tastefully accessorised with a hat or a fascinator, beautiful shoes and handbags, which are available in store.”

These brands have become synonymous with the quality on offer at New Image.

With the new 2024 Mother of the Bride collections starting to arrive interest is high and New Image feel they are going to be busy. Milliner Darcie Mae also works with customers if a certain individual head piece is required,

this is by appointment only.

The store is definitely looking festive and the party season is only round the corner, so now is the perfect time to pop in and find your new party outfit.

You’ll find it quite irresistible!

A reason to smile

Principal dental surgeon Duncan J Park

DENTAL IMPLANTS CAN ENHANCE YOUR SMILE AND BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE. otherham’s Green Square Dental & Implant Centre is the perfect example of a modern dental surgery - warm, welcoming and offering all the latest treatments that give you a reason to smile.

The Moorgate surgery provides private dentistry across Rotherham, Sheffield and surrounding areas, including Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop and Retford. One of its higly sought-after treatments is dental implants, which can be used as a long-term solution to replace missing teeth, to enhance your smile and boost your confidence.

Dental implants have revolutionised how one or more missing teeth can be replaced; they are replacement teeth that are custom-made for the individual and are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. The process of having an implant fitted involves surgically placing the titanium implant screw into the jaw bone which then fuses with the surrounding bone to provide a firm foundation to support the replacement teeth. After a period time for healing - usually three to nine months - a crown can then be manufactured to screw on to the implant, providing a natural look and a more stable solution.

Implant treatments are led by principal dental surgeon Duncan J Park BDS (Hons) MRDS RCS (Eng) MMedSci (Dental Implantology). Duncan qualified from the University of Sheffield in 2003 and further developed his surgical skills by holding SHO and staff grade posts in

hospitals including Sheffield, Barnsley and Chesterfield.

“My main interest has always been implant dentistry and having completed implant training courses in Sheffield, I then went on to complete an extensive post graduate implants masters degree,” said Duncan. “After many years of experience of placing implants and restorative work, I am now mentoring and training other dentists in these procedures.”

The assessment is the most important part of the implant procedure and will determine just what can be achieved. A thorough examination of your teeth and gums will be carried out to ensure they are as healthy as can be. An assessment of your jaws, chewing muscles and your bite is made to determine if you grind or clench your teeth. If you do, this will be factored into the final treatment plan.

...and after

The recently-refubished waiting area

Following surgery the area may be bruised and swollen for a week or two and you may have some discomfort up to two weeks after the procedure. Any pain should be able to be controlled with paracetamol and ibuprofen and regular ice packs. You are reviewed at the practice two weeks after the procedure to ensure the area is healing correctly and to remove any stitches. Depending on what is necessary at the time of surgery, the implant needs to be left for 3-9 months to heal before the implant crown can be manufactured to fit.

The results speak for themselves and go a long way to enhancing your smile.

“Here at Green Square Dental, myself and my team have worked hard to achieve a high level of excellence in dentistry within a more relaxed atmosphere,” added Duncan.

“I have not only ensured high standards within our team with their patient-focused approach, but also I’ve invested in dental equipment and innovative machines at the forefront of the industry so that we are able to treat patients to the highest possible standard.”

Rob Haselgrove

When it’s time to say goodbye...

PETS AT REST OFFER FINAL FAREWELLS IN FAMILIAR PLACES. ur pets often become extensions of our own families. Not only do they enrich our lives, but they provide love, companionship and support in both good times and in bad.

Sadly, when they need end of life care, saying goodbye can be incredibly hard.

No-one knows this more than Rob Haselgrove, a vet for almost 20 years, who said his final farewell to his beloved dog, Puddle, in 2020.

“Ever since I was young, all I ever wanted was to be a vet, so owning my own animals was a must,” said Rob. “Both professionally and through my own experience, I’ve learnt that the most difficult part of loving your pet is knowing when it’s the right time to say goodbye.

“During these moments, families want the very best for their loyal companion

O

and seek reassurance. Traditionally, this would mean a trip to the vets; an environment that many pets - and their owners - find stressful. That’s why I set up Pets at Rest, so families can say their final farewells peacefully, privately and in the comfort of their own home.”

Pets at Rest is an independent, familyrun service to support you with your pet’s final journey. They offer compassionate end of life advice and come out to care for your pet when you feel it’s the right time. Doing it this way ensures your dog or cat is more comfortable, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells.

Rob works seven days a week and is happy to talk on the phone or communicate through text or email if you don’t feel able to speak. When you

reach out, he will come to your home and spend time with you and your pet to make sure everyone is comfortable and all questions are answered.

“I take things at your pace. Sometimes families want to book a date in advance so relatives can be there, while others prefer same day visits. When I come, there is no time pressure so you may say your goodbyes in a calm and relaxed way.

Afterwards, I continue to treat your pet with the dignity and care they deserve.”

Rob offers a range of aftercare cremation options, which can be tailored to your needs. He works with a local, family-run crematorium and can reunite you with your pet’s ashes, if this is your wish. Some owners choose to keep their pet’s bodies for a home burial. If this is your preferred choice, Rob can provide practical advice on how to do this safely and effectively.

At such an emotional time, having a trusted vet like Rob on hand can make a huge difference. Not only will he ensure your pet has a loving and peaceful goodbye but he will be there to guide your family through the whole process.

It’s everything your pet deserves.

FASHION

A co-ord gives the feel of your favourite PJs

Dress up in an all-black outfit

A long silk maxi skirt or slip dress is an absolute wardrobe staple

Feeling festive WHAT TO WEAR ON CHRISTMAS DAY, BY FASHPACKSTYLE. ight let’s get down to it. The festive season is well and truly here and hopefully your party wardrobe is ready for the onslaught, now it’s time to focus on what to wear on the big day - 25 December.

I find that most people either: a) Want to stay in their pyjamas all day b) Want to dress up c) Want to be somewhere in-between That’s usually me! As we regularly host the Christmas festivities, I like to be somewhere in-between, looking like I have made an effort with some kind of festive flourish (I love a stamens earring) whilst wearing something that can easily be washed (those pesky cooking smells can be hard to get out) but also be comfortable and cozy.

Even if you prefer to wear your pyjamas all day, let’s make sure you look luxe doing it, so should a loved one pop round for a glass of something special, you still look put together and chic.

Here’s a handy list to get your started:

R

PJ’s all day There are lots of co-ords available on the high street at the minute, from silky 16 www.sheffieldvibe.com

trousers with flowing shirts to knitted tanks paired with flared trousers. A coord gives the feel of your favourite PJs but is evaluated enough to be worn on multiple occasions, maxing out your cost per wear.

I always advise purchasing both pieces from a co-ord set. COS have some great sets in store, like the midnight blue knitted two-piece pictured. Just add your favourite statement jewellery and you are good to go.

Getting dressed up Going out? Then really dress up. Winter is a great time to play with texture which adds depth to a look. Take an allblack outfit for example. If you include pieces with contrasting textures you will be able to take it from drab to fab. Think

leather with cashmere, velvet with silk, sequins with mohair.

The contrast is everything.

Somewhere in between If you’re staying home but want to make an effort, make comfort your priority.

As I have said many times before, a long silk maxi skirt or slip dress is an absolute wardrobe staple. It can be dressed up with heels, a tux jacket with some statement jewellery or dressed down with a knit over the top and some knee boots.

Whatever you wear this Christmas Day, have fun, live in the moment and always make room for one more minced pie!

Sending you all lots of festive cheer and best wishes this festive season.

Westside & Southside Restaurant & Bar Awards 2023

Oh, what a night!

LATE OCTOBER IN 2023... OVER 200 GUESTS GATHERED FOR THIS YEAR’S WESTSIDE & SOUTHSIDE RESTAURANT & BAR AWARDS. BUT WHICH CULINARY STARS WERE CELEBRATING? READ ON TO FIND OUT...

It was a double celebration for West 10 Bar & Kitchen at this year’s Westside & Southside Restaurant & Bar Awards as they won the coveted ‘Restaurant of the Year’ award and saw one of its proteges crowned ‘Young Chef of the Year’.

West 10 has undergone some significant changes over the last 12 months, not least with the appointment of head chef Scott Philliskirk who has completely revamped the restaurant side of the business.

Working alongside young chef Charlie Downham, he introduced a 'blind' seven-course tasting menu, plus two signature snacks. The menus change every month, utilising seasonally available ingredients.

“I wanted to provide a new experience that takes diners out of their comfort zones by challenging tastes and perceptions - in my experience, trying new things without preconceptions can be amazing and even change your mindset about food and ingredients,” said Scott.

The reaction to these changes has been phenomenal and judging by the huge round of applause that greeted the announcement – made by our compere Chris Wilson, the former managing editor of RMC Media – it was a popular choice and welldeserved.

Charlie Downham received his plaque after taking part in a special cooking challenge at The Sheffield College in September.

Held on Monday 30 October at Owlerton Events and Conferencing (OEC), we gave out 22 awards to not just the region’s best bars, restaurants and chefs, but some further afield too.

Over 200 people packed out the Hillsborough venue, which opened in

late 2019 and hosts a range of impressive multi-purpose suites with catering for up to 500 guests, a perfect setting for weddings, dinners, balls, conferences, live events and more. It was the perfect fit for our event; extremely well organised, the service was faultless throughout the evening ensuring that the awards ran smoothly and without a hitch.

The kitchen served a wonderful four-course meal which consisted of a lightly spiced parsnip and coconut velouté to start, followed by a fish course of salmon fishcake, pineapple and cucumber. For main course we tucked into roasted chicken breast with a chicken and sage wellington and for dessert polished off chocolate parfait with sour cherry compote and caramelised white chocolate gel.

When it came to the 2023 Westside & Southside Restaurant & Bar Awards, competition was keen of course, and we were delighted at how many local restaurants, bars and cafes entered into the festivities. It was fantastic to see all of the nominees together in one room, celebrating the superb quality of independent eateries found in our region and beyond.

One of our most popular awards on the night is the Readers’ Choice Award, voted for by yourselves of course. We had a flurry of entries and after a close call between The Maynard, The George and The Wortley Arms, it was the north Sheffield venue that scooped the prize for the second year in a row, winning by a significant margin of over 700 votes.

Each of our 22 winners received an engraved plaque, which were presented on the night by publishing managers Mandy Ogle and SallyAnne Sharp and publishing director Amanda Roy. Once the awards had been dished out and the plates had been cleared, it was time to hit the dancefloor. And for some hardened party animals, the after-party continued into the small hours at Napoleons Casino, situated next door to the OEC. Read on to find out who picked up the region’s most coveted honours at the Westside & Southside Restaurant & Bar Awards 2023.

The West 10 team collect the ‘Restaurant of the Year’ award

Double winners!

WEST 10 BAR & KITCHEN NOT ONLY WON OUR ‘RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR’ AWARD BUT SAW CHARLIE DOWNHAM CROWNED ‘YOUNG CHEF’ TOO. fter 21 awards had been dished out, there was only one remaining and that was the biggest one of the night – Restaurant of the Year. Competition, as always, was keen but it was West 10 Bar & Kitchen who triumphed, and received rapturous applause as they took to the stage.

No-one was more surprised than owner Klaus Bach, who has overseen big changes at the Fulwood Road venue over the last 12 months.

“It’s very unusual to have a ‘blind’ menu, customers usually like to know what they’re going to eat,” he said. “But our customers have grown to like it, I think people want to experience something different. It was a gamble but I have every confidence in Scott and Charlie.”

Head chef Scott Philliskirk unfortunately couldn’t be there on the night – he was having his own celebration after the birth of his baby daughter – but watched the announcement via FaceTime.

“It capped off a good week!” he beamed. “The staff deserve it and I’m glad they had a good night.”

A

Scott grew up largely in France and it was here that he discovered this ‘blind’ way of eating out, which ultimately provided the inspiration for his menu at West 10.

“I think Klaus was a bit apprehensive at first but he put a lot of trust in me,” said Scott. “We put a whole new kitchen in and although bookings were slow at first, the last three months have been incredible.

We’re now booked up to Christmas and beyond.”

The Restaurant of the Year award made it a double celebration for

‘Young Chef’ Charlie Downham

West 10, who also saw chef Charlie Downham crowned ‘Young Chef of the Year’.

Charlie had taken part in a cooking competition at Sheffield College’s training kitchen facilities in September and had been waiting since then to find out if he had won.

Although he was quietly confident, despite not having taking part in such a competition before.

“I knew it,” he said. “I was nervous at first put I’d practised a few times and was confident I could deliver a good dish. Time was my biggest worry but thankfully I got everything done.”

Charlie joined West 10 in December 2022 and has been working under Scott ever since.

“It’s a whole new level of cooking for me,” he added. “The competition was good experience and to win is the icing on the cake.”

“I’m over the moon for Charlie,” added Scott. “For me to know that I’ve taught him makes me really proud. He’s done exceptionally well over the last ten months or so and is cooking at a really high level.” www.sheffieldvibe.com 21

Westside & Southside Restaurant & Bar Awards 2023

Best Dining Pub The Peacock at Cutthorpe

Best ‘Local’ Hyde Park Inn, Dronfield

Stunning views of the Derbyshire countryside, an excellent selection of beers, wines and spirits, and top-class modern British cuisine, has attracted a loyal following both locally and further afield.

This the is the fifth time the Peacock have walked away with an award; last time around (in 2021) they were also voted ‘Best Dining Pub’.

“It’s amazing to win,” said Charlotte Marsden. “It’s been a fantastic year for us, we’ve worked really hard and are very much a team. Our staff are fantastic and special credit should go to our head chef, Jack.”

This Dronfield venue has everything you expect from a good local - lovely home-cooked food, a great selection of drinks and a fantastic atmosphere. This is the second year in the year they have triumphed in this category.

“Our motto is: Good beer, good food and good company,” said owners Tom and Vee O’Reilly. “We’re like a little hidden gem. People either don’t know we’re here or haven’t been for years. We have a great team who work really hard. We’re delighted to win this award.”

Best Family Favourite The Bistro at Dunston Hall

Best Sunday Lunch Prince of Wales, Baslow

After winning ‘Best Newcomer’ in 2021 and ‘Best Café/Light Bite’ in 2022, Dunston Hall made it a hat-trick of awards by adding ‘Family Favourite’ to their list of accolades.

The charming bistro has a breakfast, lunchtime and evening menu, offering something for everyone. Service comes with a smile with the food presented beautifully, all in relaxing surroundings.

“We’re up here collecting this award, but is not just about us, it’s about the whole team,” said head chef Jordan Garratt.

“Everyone makes a big effort, whether that’s in the kitchen, front of house of wherever.”

A village pub and restaurant in the heart of Baslow, the Prince of Wales was recently awarded its second AA Rosette.

The team serves a great selection of artisan ales, beers, delicious wines and gins and sources local produce from Derbyshire and the Peak District “This is totally unexpected,” said head chef Matt Booth.

“Everything we use for our Sunday lunches is fresh and homemade and I like to think we consistently deliver a top quality lunch. We’ve had a good summer and have stayed busy ever since.”

Best Bistro Thyme Cafe

Best Cafe/Light Bite 1554 Coffee & Gift Shop

This awards caps off a good year for Thyme Café, who also celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2023.

“There’s not many restaurants in Sheffield that get to this stage and we want to thank every customer that has dined with us over the years,” said co-director Kevin Alder.

Kevin and his business partners, Anton Corso and Matt Heap, took over the reins 18 months ago and while they have kept lots of things the same, there’s been some new additions too. The most notable is the conversion of the previously unused upstairs into a ‘supper club’.

“I think the ‘bistro’ tag definitely suits us,” said head chef Mark Lingard.

You do wonder if Sheffield Cathedral is channelling a bit of divine inspiration but given that this is 1554’s fifth win at the Westside Restaurant & Bar Awards – you can’t deny that the decision to put a café inside has proved to be a winner.

To win this against so much competition is just fantastic,” said manager Ruth Maher-Heslip. “It’s been a tough time but we’ve managed to bring back the staff we had to let go during Covid. Our customers are incredibly loyal; combined with the hard work of the team, it has contributed to our success.”

Best Hotel Restaurant The Maynard

Best Italian Nonnas

The Maynard, owned by Longbow Bars and Restaurants, started the year with a major refurbishment of its restaurant and bar areas and followed this by upgrading the garden with the addition of a new terrace, something that came into its own during the warm summer months.

“It’s been a spectacular year and this award is the icing on the cake,” said head chef Gregory Robinson.

“We’ve worked so hard and this is recognition for the team,” added Charlotte Barker. “We’re inspired by our staff, without them we’re nothing.”

The Ecclesall Road restaurant is something of a Sheffield institution having been open for 27 years - and takes this award for the third year running.

Like many restaurateurs at the event, owner Maurizio Mori felt this had been a challenging year but puts the restaurant’s success down to passionate staff and good, loyal clientele.

“Nonnas has been built on love and passion and I think that shows in everything we do,” he said.

Live music adds to the atmosphere and recent performers have included John Reilly and Lewis Nitikman.

Westside & Southside Restaurant & Bar Awards 2023

Best Indian Prithi Raj

Best Oriental Chinatown

Everyone loves a good curry and Sheffield has some fine independent restaurants to choose from. Some of them are so good in fact it’s hard to choose between them but Prithi Raj has come out on top for the third time running.

“It’s the food that keeps everyone coming back and I’d like to thank all our customers,” said Eiffran Shain.

The Ecclesall Road is also known for its charitable endeavours and recently raised £32,000 at a fundraising event for the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, which was attended by Dan Walker and Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill.

Martin Ng’s Chinatown restaurant has quickly established itself as a top destination for quality authentic Chinese food.

Three menus - daytime dim sum and evening ‘English’ and Chinese menus - leave no stone unturned.

Alan Lau collected the award on Martin’s behalf and said: “It’s a great honour, I think this is our fourth year in a row.”

Asked why he though they were successful, he added: “I think it’s our portion sizes! Seriously though, the team of Martin, Lewis and Tony work hard to deliver a genuine experience for our customers, it’s what keeps them coming back.”

Best Contemporary Brocco

Best Contemporary - Out of Town DN1 Delicatessen & Dining

Brocco have been regular visitors to the awards podium over recent years and despite changes in ownership and in the kitchen, continue to hit those high standards that have become so synonymous with the Hunters Bar venue.

The award was a fitting send-off for Ben Hunt who is leaving for pastures new.

“This is a nice leaving gift,” he said. “It’s been a challenge this year with changes behind the scenes and front of house but this justifies all the hard work. It’s fantastic.”

DN1 Delicatessen & Dining was taken over by Martyn and Sarah Pippard last year. Martyn is perhaps best known as ‘The Gentleman Fishmonger’ and his Doncaster market stall is famed for its fine quality fish and seafood, much of which features on the menu at DN1.

Martyn has four chefs on his books – Marcus AshtonSimpson, Adam Barratt, Oska Ready and Taylor Firth – who split their time between the deli and market stall.

“I’m lost for words,” said Sarah. “What a team we have. It’s been a challenging 18 months but onwards and upwards.”

Best Night Out Cubana

Best Night Out - Out of Town Bank House

There’s never a dull moment at Cubana; with live music and tapas upstairs and salsa dancing – and the widest range of rums in Sheffield behind the bar, it consistently delivers the whole package from the stunning surroundings of Leopold Square.

“It’s always nice to receive awards, particularly for “Best Night Out” which recognises the full Cubana experience,” said co-owner Adrian Bagnoli. “I believe it’s down to providing the people of Sheffield with stunning tapas, top quality cocktails, one of the world’s best rum collections, fabulous live music, and of course our warm and friendly customer service - all under the one roof.”

After winning ‘Best Contemporary’ for the last three years, Bank House showed that there’s much more to the Hathersage venue by scooping ‘Best Night Out’.

“The bar is just as important as the restaurant,” said bar manager Elliott Smith. “We get a mix of locals and diners so it’s important to deliver good service – and to keep people smiling. Fine dining can be fun and we add to that relaxed atmosphere.”

“Hathersage is becoming a real destination with lots of local businesses supporting each other which is so great to see,” added Connor Colvin.

Best Newcomer The Assembly

Best Readers’ Choice The Wortley Arms

The Assembly is the new bar and bistro attached to The Schoolrooms in Low Bradfield and opened in April. It’s split over multiple levels with two distinct dining areas; The Library and Caretaker’s as well as a spacious bar, mezzanine and tap room.

On the food front there’s an ever-changing à la carte menu that puts a modern twist on traditional British dining and uses seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from local suppliers.

“It’s been a whirlwind five or six months,” said manager Laura Helliwell. “We’re delighted to get this award. I would say that all our staff care and go above and beyond.”

Our Readers’ Choice Award is one of our most coveted and gives you the chance to have your say on who the winner should be. Conducted via an online poll, we asked you to send in your ‘best restaurant’ and tell us why. Many of you did – we received over 1,600 entries – but there was one clear winner, by some 700 votes.

The Wortley Arms, owned by Jamie Ellis, came out on top, largely thanks to their shrewd social media marketing campaign. “We have a lot of regular customers who like to support us,” said Jamie. “It’s great for our staff, they deserve it, not me.”

CHRISTMAS

Catch of the day

INSPIRED BY THE ‘FEAST OF THE SEVEN FISHES’, WE MAKE A CASE FOR CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS EVE WITH A TABLE OF FISH DISHES. OUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS PROVIDE INSPIRATION.

id you know that England is one of the few countries in the world that doesn’t have a tradition for dining on Christmas Eve? It seems we reserve these rituals for Christmas Day where the focus is firmly on turkey and all the trimmings.

With Christmas tending to be very meat heavy, whether you go for turkey, goose, duck or even a rib of beef, we think you should be eating something much lighter in the build-up to the big day and with that in mind have taken inspiration from an Italian-American tradition.

The Feast of the Seven Fishes, or Festa dei sette pesci as it is known in Italy, is centred around fish and seafood dishes, which popular choices including baccalà (salted cod), fried calamari, mussels and clams. It sees Christmas Eve as a vigil or fasting day, with the abundance of seafood reflecting the observance of abstinence from meat until the feast of Christmas Day itself.

With a nod to the festival, we have sought advice and expertise from two of our local restaurants – all winners at our recent Westside & Southside Restaurant & Bar Awards – so you can create your very own ‘Feast of the Seven Fishes’ at home.

We’ve not gone the whole turbot by featuring seven different fishes but have some tasty recipes that are easy to create and, more importantly, are absolutely delicious.You can choose to enjoy them on Christmas Eve, as tradition dictates, or at any other time over the festive period.

Adrian Gagea is executive chef at The Maynard and The George and chose a dish that is simple, fresh and with great

D

flavours – his nori monkfish tail is hugely popular with customers.

“Monkfish is great fish for festive occasions, with great flavour and texture,” he said. “The nori sheets keep all of the flavour and succulence whilst the acidity from the capers and grapefruit cuts through the richness of the cream and butter from the beurre blanc.”

Adrian recommends a Gomez Cruzado Rioja Blanco 2019 to complement this dish, which has notes of honeysuckle, stone fruit and toasty aromas with a layered palate revealing ripe fruits, minerality, an exotic note and a long toasty finish with an injection of zest.

Perhaps predictably, Adrian is generally working on Christmas Eve but if he had to choose a go-to dish he would opt for salmon with a seafood risotto.

At Bank House, Hathersage chef Andrew Warnes recommends a seasonally spiced cod fillet, which was inspired by its ability to encapsulate the essence of the season.

“This dish features a succulent spiced cod fillet, accompanied by a delicate butternut squash puree, sautéed chanterelle mushrooms, and a saffroninfused fondant potato,” said Andy. “This dish features festive flavours that include the comforting essence of pumpkin and an array of aromatic spices. It includes a blend of turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and curry powder.”

As with most chefs, Andrew will be working on Christmas Eve, a time when he immerses himself in preparing great, traditional festive dishes with a contemporary twist - often sampling these himself.

“The feast sees Christmas Eve as a vigil or fasting day, with the abundance of seafood reflecting the observance of abstinence from meat until the feast of Christmas Day itself.”

3. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Heat a nonstick frying pan with a bit of oil. Once the pan is warm, reduce the heat to medium and add the cod fillets, skin side down, until lightly golden (about 2 minutes).

Turn the cod to sear all sides, lightly cooking out the spices for about 1 minute per side.

4. Once the cod is seared, transfer it to an oven tray and bake for 4-6 minutes or until fully cooked through.

CHRISTMAS

Christmas DIY FIVE FESTIVE CRAFTS TO TRY THIS SEASON. BY MOLLY ROWE-TOWLE. ith Christmas nearly upon us

W these are five seasonal crafts that

will get you in the holiday spirit.

Make your own wrapping paper To make your gifts really standout this Christmas why don’t you try making your own wrapping paper? There are many ways to this, but a super simple option is to use classic brown paper and decorate with stencils or stamps. You could use metallic paint or paints in festive green and red. Not only will this create a beautifully homemade look, but you will save money and be helping the environment!

Hot Chocolate in a Jar This is a super simple DIY gift idea that is great to give to anyone who loves cosying up with a delicious hot chocolate.

All you need is an empty jar, chocolate, sugar, cocoa powder and candy canes.

First you will need to crush the chocolate

and candy canes, then you start layering the ingredients in the jar starting with the chocolate, then sugar, cocoa powder and finishing with the crushed candy canes.

Once this is complete you can decorate your hot chocolate in a jar with a ribbon and gift tag.

Twig Tree Decorations Making twig tree decorations is a great easy way to produce homemade ornaments and is perfect if you want to get the kids involved. All you need is some twigs and glue. Simply arrange the twigs into fun Christmas shapes, glue together and attach thread for hanging.

You can then decorate the ornaments with glitter or ribbon to make them look more festive.

Paper Stars We love making decorations out of paper and these small 3D paper stars are a great craft to try this year. There are

loads of different ways you can make origami stars and you can find instructions online. But generally, all you will need is paper, a pair of scissors, a pencil and possibly some glue. The paper stars can be attached to string and hung on the tree or arranged on the mantelpiece for a little extra festivity.

What’s more depending on the colours you choose the paper stars can be used as decorations all year round whatever the occasion!

Make a Wreath Arguably the ultimate Christmas craft, making your own wreath is a great way to welcome visitors into your home and get everyone in the festive mood. There are tonnes of different options for this craft. You could go classic and use foliage and moss or try something different and make a bauble or pom pom wreath.

Whatever your taste you can find instructions online. www.sheffieldvibe.com 37

10th anniversary concert The NHS Choir celebrated their tenth anniversary with a special concert held in conjunction with the Salvation Army Big Collection and Dronfield Brass Band.

The NHS Choir started in 2013 and mainly consists of midwives from the Jessop Wing although they have been joined more recently by other NHS workers, either still working or retired. They hold several concerts throughout the year.

European road trip Eight keen bikers, eight European countries, 11 days and 1,900 miles in a road trip that raised more than £500 for St Luke’s Hospice.

Friends from the Silver Fox Men’s Football Team at Westfield too on the European challenge in memory of team member Mark Bradbury’s wife Zoe, who was a patient at the hospice as she faced the end of her fight against cancer just before Christmas last year.

Setting off from Mark’s home in Owlthorpe, the team headed for Folkstone and the Channel Tunnel to Calais and then rode through France to the Mosel in Germany and then on to Italy, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Holland. And even extreme wet weather as they drive through France did nothing to dampen spirits.

“One of the lads broke down when his bike got waterlogged and I fell off twice in the mountains because of leaves and the rain but we all got through it in one piece,” said Mark.

Back home, all supporters of the bikers had to do was make a £5 donation to guess exactly how far their friends would have travelled before they were back in Sheffield.

“Zoe spoke so highly of St Luke’s – she’d attended sessions at Ecclesall Road South, she’d been an in patient for a while and at the end we had the Community Team support us as Zoe said she wanted to die at home.

MOTORING

Flying the flag

Worthy successor

Audi has updated the flagship of the Q family with a sleek new design and upgraded technology.

For the first time, the Audi Q8 SUV is equipped with HD Matrix LED headlights, including a laser as an additional high beam on top-spec models. These headlights feature digital daytime running lights and selectable light signatures. Digital OLED rear lights with four selectable rear light designs complete the expanded light offering.

New wheels, colours, decorative inlays, and seats with contrast stitching highlight the car’s top position among the Q models. Three trim specifications will be available - S line, Black Edition and Vorsprung.

Prices start from £75,500 (OTR).

Škoda has unveiled the second generation of the Kodiaq, which takes sustainability and efficiency to the next level and comes with a new interior concept.

The all-new Kodiaq features a 13-inch infotainment display, innovative Škoda Smart Dials with haptic controls and a new range structure with Design Selections. Its five powertrains offering outputs from 110 kW (150hp) to 150 kW (204hp) now also include a plug-in hybrid version – a first for the Kodiaq – with an electric range of more than 100 kilometres.

The two top engines are mated to all-wheel drive as standard. Also making their debuts are the latest generations of the LED Matrix headlights and the Dynamic Chassis Control system.

GO BIG... SUVs DOMINATE THIS MONTH’S NEWS, WRITES RICHARD ABBEY.

Highly innovative

Sight for ‘Sor’ eyes

The Tiguan is one of the most successful Volkswagen models in the world today, having sold over 7.6million vehicles since its launch in 2007.

New technological developments improve the Tiguan in practically every area. New hybrid drives with an all-electric range of about 62 miles make this SUV more efficient than ever before. In addition, AC charging will be faster in all eHybrid versions, and fast DC charging will also be possible as standard for the first time. Turbo diesel and turbo petrol engines will also be available.

The interior of the Tiguan features a completely new concept and design. The new cockpit landscape is intuitive to use, closely integrated, and has a clean and smart design.

The third generation Tiguan will hit the roads early next year.

The new Kia Sorento ‘Vision’ is a limited edition model which creates a more affordable entry point into the Sorento line-up. The ‘Vision’ sits just below the top-spec ‘Edition’ trim-level, introduced in 2022.

The car is available with the same choice of powertrains as the ‘Edition’, meaning customers can purchase the ‘Vision’ with either diesel (£44,995), hybrid (£46,495) or plug-in hybrid (£51,495) power. Each model receives all-wheel drive as standard.

Two new paint finishes, ‘Gravity Blue’ and ‘Steel Grey’, haven’t been offered in the UK before and are exclusive to the ‘Vision’ model.

As with every Kia model, the Sorento ‘Vision’ features the brand’s pioneering seven-year/100,000-mile warranty as standard.

PROMOTION

Jaguar F-Type Jaguar E-Pace

The real deal SHEFFIELD PRESTIGE LTD OFFERS A GENUINE ALTERNATIVE FOR JAGUAR AND LAND ROVER OWNERS. aguar owners in Sheffield and North East Derbyshire concerned about the closure of main dealer Hatfields, worry not, Sheffield Prestige offers a convenient and genuine alternative – as well as savings of up to 60 per cent.

Established in 2010, Sheffield Prestige Ltd operates from a spacious, clean, secure and well-lit workshop located just off Abbeydale Road (A621) on Little London Road. They specialise in all Jaguar models, as well as Land Rover, from the 1970s up to the present day.

“We offer the same brilliant level of service as the main dealers, but deliver a more personal service where the people who fix your car are the people you speak to directly, so you always know the jobs you ask for get done and know exactly what you’re paying for,” said managing director Matt Quail.

“With Hatfields closing, the nearest official Jaguar dealership is in Wakefield

J

Jaguar XE

– we’re now the only Jaguar specialist in Sheffield. We feel that we understand the needs of our customers and take real pride in every car we handle and believe we offer a genuine alternative to the main dealers without compromising on quality.”

Matt and his team all have years of experience in prestige cars between them, having previously worked for official Jaguar franchises. They use genuine parts that won’t affect your warranty and keep your online service history up to date. What’s more, Matt is an international technical advisor for the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club, meaning Jag drivers from all over the world ask him for help with their technical faults.

And as a member of the Retail Motor Industry (RMI) and the Trust My Garage Scheme, you can be sure that your vehicle is in capable hands.

“If you are thinking of selling your car or part-exchanging it, we do our best to beat quotes on part exchanges, and you can rest assured that if your car is in warranty and needs a service, bringing your car to us won’t invalidate it,” added Matt.

Many locals who drive down Little London Road will be surprised by the impressive fleet inside the Sheffield Prestige showroom. Their sales cars are hand-picked and comprehensively checked and valeted prior to sale and all their service and repair work is carried out by factory-trained ATA master technicians equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment and tooling.
