dave stone design The difference is in the detail.

Bespoke kitchen and bedroom design and project management “We came to Dave Stone Design as they are a local independent company and have completed work for our neighbours. We see their advertisements in the magazines and therefore made an appointment with Dave.

We loved his design and then the process of choosing exactly what we wanted was easy and relaxed and we enjoyed the time spent in the showroom with Dave and Suzanne.

The work in our house was relaxed and efficient and we have a most wonderful kitchen, dining and living area created for us by the whole Dave Stone Design Team. We won’t hesitate to recommend Dave Stone Design to anyone.”

Another satisfied customer…

When Frank and Jayne Preston considered restoring their kitchen diner, they turned to the team at Curtain Studio – and were thrilled with the results.

“My wife and I were looking for a complete design and fitting service and after a recommendation from our daughter, who had a shutter fitted by the team earlier this year, we decided to give Curtain Studio a call.

We found the team to be extremely accommodating and friendly – they really knew what they were talking about – and they seemed to be very passionate about what they do.

When it came to choosing the products, they listened to our ideas and offered designs and brands that would fit our brief and budget. The service and advice we received was second to none and they made the whole process hassle free.

We had waterproof, easy maintenance shutters fitted in the kitchen and track systems on the bigger windows, to offer ultimate light control and privacy.

The friendly approach was rounded off with a great install and the shutters have, without doubt, greatly enhanced the aesthetics of our home, providing the privacy and superior finish we were seeking.

All in all we are very happy with the finished result and from both a professional and personal perspective we have been very impressed with Curtain Studio and would definitely recommended them to our friends and family. In fact, we already have.”

BAKEWELL SHOW

Summer spectacular LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO THIS SUMMER? BAKEWELL SHOW WILL HAVE YOU HOOKED. here’s a buzz of excitement around Bakewell Showground as preparations get underway for the 187th Bakewell Show.

Bakewell Agricultural & Horticultural Society, the charitable trust that runs the event, will celebrate its 200th year in 2019 and the team at the helm is already making preparations.

“We take on visitor feedback each year,” says show manager Janet Bailey, “and even two years in advance of our 200th birthday we’re working to prepare the Show to make it the best it can be.”

The Show takes place on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 August, with a dedicated Equestrian Day on Tuesday 1 August.

Changes being implemented include a restructuring of Showground attractions and locations to keep things fresh and running smoothly. One of the biggest changes this year is the inclusion of a shopping ‘village’ area, which will aim to tackle the bottleneck effect of foot traffic down Agricultural Way. A number of trade stalls will move into the dedicated area

T

16 Southside | www.southsidemagazine.co.uk

to make walkways less crowded and give visitors the opportunity to peruse stalls in a more leisurely fashion.

Also new is free parking for visitors in the Show’s Haddon Fields car park, which is accessed from the A6, offering added value to the adult ticket price freeze, which hasn’t increased since last year.

A big draw for families this year is the new children’s ‘Passport to Bakewell Show.

“We’re really keen that Bakewell Show is a fun day out packed with educational experiences,” says manager Janet Bailey.“And

we couldn’t think of a better way to guide people around the activities by making that an activity in itself!”

“Participants will have to explore every corner of the Showground to locate special flags with educational facts and quiz questions,” adds Janet. “Once they’ve found all the answers and had a go at the activities they can return the passport to our office before they leave for a stamp and a rosette.”

The ‘passport’ can be downloaded from www.bakewellshow.org or collected on entry.

BAKEWELL SHOW

The map will lead families around to learn about all kinds of animals, from goats and sheep, to pigeons, poultry, shire horses, rabbits and dogs.

Completed forms will be entered into a prize draw to win a Samsung Galaxy Tablet A6 courtesy of Central Technology in Chesterfield.

Elsewhere for children there’ll be cupcake decorating on arrival at the food and farming tent that will delight those with a sweet tooth, while there’s fun to be had at the Bakewell beach where sandcastles and Punch and Judy shows are the order of the day, plus donkey rides are available for a small fee.

Nearby are also free circus skills workshops, an inflatable assault course, bungee trampolines, zip lines and climbing walls for kids with a sense of adventure.

Visitors of every age will enjoy other new attractions, including White Post Farm’s popup petting zoo, bushcraft activities with local survival training experts Woodland Ways and Knowles’ Dairy Show, offering an educational insight into the history of dairy produce.

“There is an incredible array of breeds to see at the dog show,” adds Janet. “Our Best in Show winners go on to Crufts in the professional competitions, but we also have a companion dog show, which enables the public to take part with their four-legged friends.”

Visitors wishing to enter the companion show should visit the dog field on arrival each day with competition entry fees helping support local animal charity Ashbourne Animal Welfare.

Additional canine capers can be enjoyed in centre ring at 4pm on the Thursday during the parade of hounds. Children are invited to clamber over the fence at the end of the display to meet the friendly pups. Further centre ring entertainment includes a vintage vehicle parade, weather permitting, and fastpaced scurry driving and mounted games.

After huge success last year, the new farriery competition will also make a comeback, expanding to run both main Show days. Visitors can marvel as fast-paced timed competitions that see farriers demonstrate their craft of shoeing horses.

Food and drink attractions are also developing, with an exciting new beer competition for local microbreweries and homebrewers. The competition has been masterminded by Matteo Frau, head brewer at nearby Birchover Brewery.

There are a variety of categories for microbreweries to enter encompassing different beer styles. Winners from each category will compete for overall champion, with the winning beer on sale at next year’s Bakewell Show.

Homebrew entries can be any style, with

the winner getting to brew a commercialised version of their winning recipe at Birchover Brewery.

Keeping with the beer theme, the Love Food Live cookery demo trailer will be in residence for the first time, incorporating some of Birchover’s beers into the dishes.

Kitchen demos will be run by celebrity chef Richard Fox, known as the Beer Chef, who appeared in Men Brewing Badly with friend Neil Morrissey in 2010.

Celebrity spotters should also keep an eye out for Flog It’s James Lewis, who will return to impart his knowledge on a variety of antiques.

Favourites returning in 2017 include the food and farming marquee, home to meat and dairy competitions, with its neighbouring farmers market and popular free fly fishing lessons on the River Wye at Anglers’ Rest. Here, visitors can also marvel at a chainsaw carver at work, creating a special commemorative bench that will remain in situ on the riverbank for all to enjoy.

Those looking for an additional school holiday activity can also take part in the Show’s competition in partnership with Peak FM. Schools, families, businesses and individuals are invited to make a scarecrow with a superstar or superhero theme to be in with the chance to win an iPad. The top five scarecrows will be on display in the flower and vegetable marquee at the Show, plus anyone entering gets one free adult and child ticket to this year’s event. More details can be found on the Peak FM website.

ENTRY INFORMATION • Adult tickets are £17 in advance (£18 on the gate) • Seniors are £15 in advance (£16 on the gate) • Children’s and Equestrian Day tickets cost £5 • Parking at this year’s event is free on the Show’s Haddon Fields car park, which can be accessed from the A6 • Programmes, including a Showground map, will be on sale at the event priced at £1.

TOP TIP: • When stripping wallpaper, make sure you have a long-handled scraper, paper tiger (perforator), dust sheets, a bucket of boiling water, sponges and washing up liquid.

• Get your room ready and score your paper.

• Soak the wall with washing up liquid and water, make sure the walls are extremely wet and leave for 20 minutes between each soak – repeat three to five times.

• As the water will have soaked in and dissolved the paste, the paper should remove with very little effort.

How did you end up in this type of business?

Over 31 years ago, I was asked to set up a kitchen showroom for someone, and I did. Seven years later, I decided to set up my own retail showroom – the rest is history, as they say.

JO LINTHWAITE / Kip McGrath Education Centre Chesterfield Suite 2, 1st Floor, 67-77 Chatsworth Road, Chesterfield, S40 2AL Type of business.

Tuition centre for children aged 6-16, teaching maths and English.

What is your role in your company?

Centre director and tutor.

How did you end up in this type of business?

I worked overseas for 16 years as a teacher and head of a number of schools and a further education college. I wanted to return to the UK and looked for an education franchise that fitted my personal teaching philosophy. The Kip McGrath philosophy of every child being able to achieve its potential by providing a tailor-made service, including adapting the teaching methodology to suit each child, was a perfect fit.

Why is it important to seek out the best possible advice in your particular line of work?

Parents, children and mainstream teachers are under tremendous pressure these days. The National Curriculum continues to become more difficult and contains more and more aspects. Schools are expected to achieve greater results and parents are finding it harder to help their own children. Methods and standards are in a state of continual change. It is vital for us, as a community, to provide as much help, advice and support as we can to ensure our children grow up, not only achieving their educational potential

but growing in confidence and self-esteem too.

Any future developments for yourself or your business that you would like to tell us about?

What specific expertise can you offer our readers?

The Matlock Kip McGrath is currently Ofsted registered and the centre is working towards this. This allows parents to use Child Care Vouchers to pay for the fees and those in receipt of Tax Credits can also get help with costs. It is our aim to be here for those who need us and not just those who can afford us.

Both centres are running close to capacity at the moment and we are looking into extending our available days and sessions in September.

All of our tutors are fully qualified and have many years, in some cases decades, of experience. We are experts at working with children on an individual level. We can apply our knowledge of the subjects, teaching methods and current changes to advise parents and help students. Most of our tutors are also exam markers, both SATs and GCSEs, so are a mine of useful information and tips.

Personal training What is your role in your company?

Owner and personal trainer.

How did you end up in this type of business?

I was a fitness instructor in the early eighties and worked for various gyms in the local area. During 2009, I had a break and worked in retail for four years as a cosmetic counter manager. I then decided to start my own personal training business, because I wanted to offer a truly bespoke and private approach.

I felt there was a niche in the market for people wanting to get fit, but who needed that extra one-to-one for their particular goals.

Why is it important to seek out the best possible advice in your particular line of work?

Personal training is just that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; training, just

for you. So when looking for a personal trainer, it is important to find someone who has a wealth of knowledge of training techniques, and who is also able to understand and be empathic to your individual requirements. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a personal trainer with these attributes, you could quickly lose interest, pick up bad training techniques or even aggravate existing problems or cause new ones.

What specific expertise can you offer our readers?

My understanding, empathy and being able to think outside the box comes from over 30 years of looking after and helping members and clients achieve their fitness and personal goals, with an understanding and realistic approach. I genuinely care and love working with people.

Any future developments for yourself or your business that you would like to tell us about?

I want to continue to see my clients achieve their fitness goals.

Worthwhile investment NO LONGER WANTING TO NEGLECT HER DIET, SARA ASQUITH TURNED TO ALEVERE THERAPY AT G&M HEALTHCARE FOR HELP. A CHANGE IN LIFESTYLE HAS PAID DIVIDENDS. y weight had steadily increased over the years because I found myself in a vicious cycle. I had tried several diets where I would lose a couple of pounds, but I always found ways to cheat and go back to old habits.”

Sara Asquith was worried her demanding lifestyle would mean it was impossible for her to lose weight, however, as soon as she started the Alevere programme, she was committed to changing her life.

“I travel a lot for work and it was getting difficult to choose food that was good for me.

I’d forget all about the hidden calories and eat snacks on the go, followed by big meals late in the evening.

“I never seemed to be able to get my weight under control and weighing in at 12st 5lb, it got to a point where I knew something had to give.

“I had seen advertisements for Alevere Therapy at G&M Healthcare and decided to give it a go.”

Combining high quality, flavoursome foods and state-of-theart ultrasound technology, Alevere is a personalised, GP-led treatment and diet plan, which, under strict medical supervision, can help you lose between 1-2 stone a month.

It involves a series of treatments including weekly one-to-one therapy sessions, skin and connective tissue therapy and nutritional therapy, which consists of high protein meals uniquely formulated to assist rapid weight loss.

Your nutritional plan is accurately

“ M

monitored throughout the programme, ensuring blood sugar levels are stable at all times, and the metabolic rate is kept high and not suppressed, which often occurs with other means of weight loss.

On reaching your target, your weight is then stabilised and with the assistance of accurate measurements of your body’s metabolism, G&M guide you through long term maintenance, with personal monthly follow-up appointments.

“I wouldn’t say Alevere is easy – it took will power, and it’s important to understand that your metabolic rate is an individual thing.

But once you start, the staff walk you through everything, and you feel at ease straight away.

“It made it easier having sachets, because my only choice was what flavour I could have, and I soon realised I could manage on a lot less food.

“I took it one day at a time and seeing the fast rate of weight loss every week kept me focused.”

Like everyone, Sara hit the occasional rut, but she received lots of support.

“Alevere is more than a diet. There’s always a line of communication and support available and G&M helped me uncover the psychology behind my dysfunctional eating.

“The thing I found most difficult was no alcohol and going on holiday was a challenge, but I spoke to my therapists Sarah and Leyanna once a week and they helped me make permanent adjustments to my lifestyle.

“I did come back two pounds heavier, but

once my philosophy had changed, it was easy to shift.

“My husband was also really supportive and by eating healthily like me, he lost two stone – you don’t get more motivational than that.”

Since starting the programme Sara has lost 2st 3lb and has continued to stabilise her weight.

“When I first wore the dress in the ‘after’ photo the buttons wouldn’t close, but now I have to wear a belt because it’s too big.

“I’m always somewhere between 10st 1lb and 10st 3lb, and I can’t believe how good I feel.”

Though Alevere has been life-changing for Sara physically, the biggest change has been mental.

“The programme changes your relationship with food. It makes you more aware of how your body works, so you can break the cycle.

“I used to eat way too much, but now I plan ahead and make sure I prepare my own food to take to conferences. It’s all about finding that happy balance.

“I’d definitely recommend Alevere. You do have to be in the right place mentally to commit – you can’t do it half-hearted – but it’s a completely worthwhile investment.

Never mind the Vikings, mountain trolls or mystical beasts reputed to lurk in the depths of the fjords, it’s the legend of the pricey pint that seems to linger in the British consciousness.

So, to answer your question, around £8 for a ‘large beer’ that I reckon was just short of a pint, and the same for a glass of wine. Pricey enough to deter the stag and hen crowd, but not quite enough to demand total abstinence.

Just go careful… and don’t get involved in any big rounds.

We were staying in Stavanger, a large, bustling port just over an hour’s flight from

Newcastle Airport on BMI Regional. The harbour is the heart of the town with navy boats and cruise ships jostling for position while the water’s edge is busy with bars (where those prices certainly don’t seem to act as a deterrent) and fancy seafood restaurants.

Head for the narrow, winding streets away from the waterfront and you’ll find many more dining and drinking opportunities, along with plenty of designer shops. There is also a large oil terminal further along the bay, a solid symbol of the reasons for those signs of prosperity.

On 23 December, 1969 Norway struck an offshore oil field rich enough to guarantee the nation’s wealth for generations to come.

From that day onwards, Stavanger was slowly transformed from a dying community where sardine canning was the main form of employment, to the boom town of today.

With so much to see and all of it within close proximity, Stavanger is an ideal weekend break location. A city stroll to get your bearings is a sensible first step, and this will inevitably lead you to Old Stavanger, a truly lovely area of steep cobbled streets, perfect wooden houses gleaming with white and pastel shades, immaculate gardens and hanging baskets.

This is also where you will find the sardine canning museum. OK, so reading that sentence didn’t make your pulse quicken, but trust me, this place is a gem. Take a guided tour courtesy of museum manager Piers Crocker, an Englishman who married a local girl and never left, and lose yourself for an hour in his fishy tale of the local industry that reflects the town’s fluctuating pre-oil fortunes… and don’t forget to pick up a tin of chocolate sardines from the gift shop on your way out.

There are other ways to see the sights. A Segway tour of street art, which seems to be embraced locally rather than dismissed as cultural vandalism, saw me tackling an unlikely form of transport. Thankfully our guide Rami stashed his machines in an

TRAVEL

underground car park, which was deserted and therefore the perfect place to find your balance before taking to the streets. Those gentle practice runs did not quite prepare us for the more demanding task of going uphill on wet, leafstrewn cobbles, but even the most ungainly member of our group (i.e. me) quickly got the hang of it and lived to tell the tale.

All this activity, and the bracing sea air, will work up a healthy appetite. For seafood lovers Fisketorget, which has a dominant position at the top of the harbour, is a combined restaurant and fish market where I ate tremendous creamy fish soup with crunchy croutons and pan-fried hake with baked root vegetables, spinach, celeriac purée and shellfish sauce.

Over the course of our weekend we also enjoyed local venison at Hall Toll, another harbour-side restaurant in the old customs building, and char-grilled squid and steak at Renaa Maltbaren, the informal, contemporary sister bistro of a rather more sedate Michelin-

starred venue next door.

After dark the bars are packed, and with canopies, heaters and blankets as standard, sitting outdoors with a cold beer is a yearlong pastime. Dress accordingly, of course, this is northern Europe so fleeces, hats, gloves and waterproofs are always travel essentials.

We stayed at the Victoria Hotel, in the heart of the town on the harbour edge and pleasingly traditional.

The rooms were modern and pristine, but the best thing about the hotel was the staggeringly good buffet breakfasts. Forget your wormy bacon and fried eggs turning to bullets under heat lamps, we were offered vegetable juice shots and fruit smoothies, inventive salads of spinach, watermelon and pinenuts, smoked salmon, beetroot, pickled cucumbers and the local black bread. It was healthy, invigorating and a positively lifeenhancing way to start the day.

Away from the busy town, fjords and mountains dominate the landscape and even on a short stay it’s essential to get a taste of

the true Norwegian wilderness.

A 30-minute coach trip to the outskirts of the neighbouring town of Sandnes took us to the starting point for an exhilarating afternoon hike that took us to the top of the Dalsnuten mountain. The last section was suitably strenuous but the rewards came with breath-taking views of the Jaeren region, with distant mountain ranges, lakes and fjords seemingly stretching to infinity, and looking back towards the sea, an equally dazzling view of Stavanger glistening in the late afternoon sun. We’d already packed for all weathers, of course, and this particular afternoon stroll definitely required hiking boots.

Our final morning left one thing to be ticked off our ‘must do’ list and that was the fjord cruise from Stavanger to Pulpit Rock, a steep cliff which rises 604 metres above the Lysefjorden.

The view from the top of the rock is the shot you’ll see in all the guide books, and it’s one of Norway’s most popular tourist destinations for those with the energy to tackle a full day’s walk with a strenuous climb at the end. I must admit, floating in the bay looking up at the sheer rock face, I suddenly wished I was one of those hikers on top of the rock looking down. Maybe next time.

Factbox: One-way flights from Newcastle to Stavanger start from £80. As with all bmi fares the price includes 23kg of hold luggage, allocated seating, complimentary in-flight drinks and snacks and speedy 30-minute check-ins. www.bmiregional.com. www.newcastleairport.com www.regionstavanger-ryfylke.com

MY FATHERS HEART THREW A LAVISH PARTY FOR THE WINNERS OF THIS YEAR’S WESTSIDE AND SOUTHSIDE RESTAURANT AWARDS. PHOEBE SEYMOUR REPORTS. t was a party to remember... and the luxury kitchen showroom of My Fathers Heart proved to be the perfect setting when the winners of the 2017 Westside and Southside Restaurant Awards were invited to come together for a celebration of culinary excellence.

With fabulous fizz and a selection of wonderful wines and beers provided by Robinsons Brewery, this was a chance for the chefs and owners of the region’s finest eating establishments to come together and reflect on their successes over the last 12 months.

My Fathers Heart had sponsored the awards, staged at Baldwins Omega, with Robinsons adding to the fun as drinks sponsors.

After all the tensions of waiting to see who would be crowned as the best of the best, this was a much more relaxed affair.

Our winners were able to take a break from their own kitchens and enjoy food created on the spot by Bora demonstration chefs, using My Fathers Heart’s stunning and fullyfunctioning display kitchens.

The Samuel Fox Country Inn were this

year’s ultimate winners, having scooped both Best Contemporary and the Restaurant of the Year award.

Co-owner and chef patron, James Duckett said: “I enjoyed the award winners’ party. I spoke to the other restaurateurs and had a mingle – it was a lovely night.

“We were competing against a lot of good restaurants and it’s been a tough year – for all the restaurant industry I think – so winning was unexpected.

“But I think what makes us special is we bring the element of surprise. We look like an ordinary working Derbyshire pub, but then you step inside and see it’s very smart.

We do traditional food, but it’s presented in a modern way.

“We plan to keep building on what we’ve achieved so far. Our aim is to create a positive environment and make both our team and our customers happy. Thanks for Westside’s support.”

Owner Chris Mapp and the team from The Tickled Trout were also celebrating a double win having taken the Best Pub and

Young Chef of the Year. Dave Cockerill beat three other contestants to win the title of Young Chef of the Year, after a MasterChef style cook-off, using the working kitchens at the My Fathers Heart showroom.

Dave said: “I didn’t expect to win, but I’m really proud that I did it. Everyone from The Tickled Trout team have been really supportive – they were quite loud at the awards! Chris Mapp is wanting to put my signature dish on the menu.”

Other winners enjoying the party included The Hyde Park Inn (Best Family Friendly).

Tom O’Reilly, co-owner of The Hyde Park Inn said: “It’s good to get recognised and to know what we are doing is working. It’s just a matter of time before more and more people know what we have to offer. It’s a good place for an all-round family event.”

CHESTERFIELD CHAMPIONS

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TIME TO REDISCOVER CHESTERFIELD AND THE SURROUNDING AREA, SAYS PETER SWALLOW, CHAIR OF DESTINATION CHESTERFIELD. any of us are packing for our summer holiday, ready for a break from work or school or simply just a change of scenery. But one of the things I love about Chesterfield is that the landscape is continually changing here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both in the town and countryside.

Key projects are underway and large sites, such as Peak Resort and Chesterfield Waterside are in the process of being transformed. We will also soon see commencement of the proposals for the Northern Gateway scheme, which include the redevelopment of the former Co-op department store and a new enterprise centre on part of the Donut car park. The project also includes improvements to Elder Way which are aimed at breathing new life in to this area making it a vibrant place for leisure, retail and social gathering Within the next few years, given the scale of the projects in the pipeline, the physical landscape of the town will change

M

dramatically attracting further investment, businesses and people.

More immediately, we do not have to venture far at all, or break the bank, for a change of scene this summer. From canal cruises and concerts in Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park to vintage fairs, farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets and open-air cinemas during August alone, there is something to suit everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taste in Chesterfield this summer.

On our doorstep we also have the wonderful Peak District. It attracts more than ten million visitors each year and it is one of the most popular national parks in the UK. How many of us, however, take it for granted and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t venture there ourselves?

Part of the attraction of travelling is being far away from where you live, but sometimes we forget to explore the things on our doorstep. A part of appreciating whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on your doorstep is looking at it with new eyes; learn its history, unearth the beaten path, and look for its quirky features.

The Crooked Spire aside, did you know that George â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rocketâ&#x20AC;? Stephenson is buried beneath the altar of Holy Trinity Church in Chesterfield, or that Chesterfield Canal is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful and varied waterways in England or even that that the Peak District is home to some 2,900 listed buildings?

This summer why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you take the time to slow down and rediscover Chesterfield and its surrounding area. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a town full of surprises.
