COLUMN t has been such a thrill this week to host our friends from across the Atlantic, who are joining us for this year’s Black Diamond Ball. Wentworth Woodhouse has several historic links with the US; the two Rockingham Counties (one in New Hampshire and one in North Carolina) are both named after the Marquis of Rockingham who lived at Wentworth Woodhouse. I was lucky enough to travel to North Carolina in 2024 to meet some of our supporters, many of whom live in the town of Wentworth there. Sharing our histories is a wonderful way of building international partnerships. As part of our ten-year birthday celebrations in 2027 we shall be launching a USA-based foundation in Charleston, South Carolina, aiming to harness support for our work whilst also encouraging more US visitors to our explore our region. The Black Diamonds Ball is not the only event oozing with glamour this year; from 13-15 November the Goldsmiths North show is coming to Wentworth "!! ! ! Everybody buying a ticket to visit the house will not only enjoy the new headset tour of the State Rooms, but they will also enjoy full access to this stunning show. Silversmithing is a traditional heritage craft and one that we hope to support through our new Heritage Skills Centre of Excellence which will open in 2028. Don’t miss out, we expect the show to be hugely popular, with visitors certain to kick-start their Christmas shopping there. The news is now out, this Christmas, Wonderland is coming to Wentworth Woodhouse (1 December 2026 and until State Rooms will be transformed into Alice in Wentworth Wonderland, where you can follow Alice down the rabbit hole and discover a magical world ! ! ! characters and wonderful surprises. Step into a world where nothing is quite as it seems and embark on your own adventure through the grand rooms of Wentworth Woodhouse. Wander through the Room of Doors, discover the Hall of Hearts, follow the trail of Drink Me and Eat Me, and make your way Down the Rabbit hole before arriving at the wonderfully whimsical Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Look out for curious details, try your hand at Wonderland-inspired games, dress up and capture plenty of magical photo ! ! your adventure by. On selected dates, the Wonderland

CHRISTMAS
Christmas party FESTIVE FUN Seeking inspiration for this year’s celebration? These local venues have got you covered. s winter approaches, it can only mean one thing – the countdown to Christmas and the festive party season is on. This December, across the region, families, friends and work colleagues will be putting on their glad rags and enjoying a drink – or two – together. A well organised party in a quality, popular venue is a fabulous thing to look forward to as the year draws to a close. If it’s a works outing, it is not only good for team morale but a great bonding experience for all. The key to a really good, memorable
A
Butler’s Balti House
Christmas work ‘do’ is to make sure it is booked well in advance, so you’re not left to 昀nd out every venue is fully booked, leaving the only option to be an of昀ce party, telling cheesy Christmas cracker jokes whilst dancing around the photocopier to The Pogues. It doesn’t have to be the manager who is tasked with the booking of the party either. Hand the party planning over to the one in the of昀ce who loves to socialise, as they will relish the task of getting everyone on board and booking a fantastic Christmas party. So whether it’s a lavish 昀ve-course
spread at a top restaurant, a dinner and dance evening or a traditional turkey meal with all the trimmings at a cosy pub, there are plenty of venues to choose from that can accommodate your festive plans, whether you are a small business with a handful of staff, or a huge organisation with hundreds of employees. So, no matter what the budget or scale of your party get into the Christmas spirit and get your party booked now. If you’re short of ideas of what to do and where to host your Christmas party this year, take a look at some of the fabulous venues showcased here.
Butler’s was Shef昀eld’s 昀rst balti restaurant and this year underwent a small transformation, with a new look luxe interior complementing the already high-quality food. White and grey marble-effect walls are now completed by blue furnishings and gold accents, including the gold-themed VIP area at the bottom of the large Kashmiri and Indian restaurant. The popular restaurant, located on Broad Lane, offers a range of set menus ideal for a Christmas celebration. These include poppadoms and chutneys, mixed starter, main course and unlimited sundries (plain naan and garlic naan with pilau rice). Vegan options are also available. A Christmas set menu and buffet menu will be available throughout the festive period. For reservations, call 0114 276 8141 or email food@butlersbalti.com

The water lily in the
discovered Shapla some 15 years ago. I wish I had done so before. I quickly realised that it had gained iconic status. Everyone talked about it and still do. just off Matilda Street, is now my goto favourite Indian in the city centre. Established in 1979, it promises a mixture of authentic Indian and Bangladeshi food and it delivers in spades. We were greeted by the gracious and somewhat regal owner and founder Mr. (Abdul) Malik. He is synonymous with the restaurant, working most days as front of house. The extensive menu bears testimony to his years of toil in many restaurants and kitchens across the country since his arrival in the UK in 1967. My Indian friend Freddie reckons Shapla is the best in the city – some testimony. The big question for me would my dining companion, Mr. Happy, share that view? He’s a tough judge of food and largely gained his sobriquet service in many restaurants. His special tantrums are reserved for unsuspecting staff who bring him nan breads instead of chapatis and fail to deliver additional fresh tomatoes as requested. How would Mr. Malik and his team
24 www.rmcmedia.co.uk
rise to this stern test? They need not have worried. Mr. Happy left with a huge, contented smile and the air of a man completely satiated. He got his chapatis and his additional fresh tomatoes with his impressive Chicken Bhuna. I ordered the dish I always have: Chicken Massala, an unusual mixture of chicken, spices fried with onions, tomato and peppers with a sliced egg. We both prefer unadulterated chicken breast as opposed to diced or in some cases even processed chicken and this away as we cut into pieces revealing a truly white tasty texture. The sauces for both dishes were medium so you could taste the spice but not too hot to hide the Mr. Happy held his chapatis aloft and declared them clean (as opposed to being cooked in a charred pain), light and fresh. He was suddenly gleaming and happy. My regular side dish of Mushroom Bhaji also made me happy: no oily, ghee-infused drowning sauce just slices of dry spicy, tasty mushrooms cooked with vegetables. Our mains had been preceded by Onion Bhaji for me and Chicken Chat for him. Mine came in the round style, preferable They were delightfully crispy and fresh
on the outside but tasty and soft inside. A special word of praise for the very fresh salad which accompanied the dish. His Chat was food theatre: a large dome of Puri encasing chicken pieces cooked with spices. Unusual but very satisfying was the verdict. We wisely retained the spectacular pickle tray to enjoy with our starters. Five dips, compared to the normal three or four, including Shapla’s very own special chutney alongside a unique rich and creamy yoghurt which I have yet to see the like elsewhere. Shapla has a large and loyal customer base, with many ordering the same dish visit after visit just like me. Maybe I’ll stray next time and go for something more exotic from the all-encompassing menu like Lamb Shatkora or Shapla Special Tikka Dansak. On leaving the establishment you sense a certain timeless charm, probably emanating from Mr. Malik who gives every female guest a Chrysanthemum – no Shapla means ‘water lily’ in Bangladeshi.
