The berry season officially starts on the 1st May, but a cooler spring slowed the growing process of many of our favourite seasonal favourites. This led to strawberries flowering and ripening a little more gradually… resulting in larger, juicier, and even more tasty British strawberries. And we are sure to be making the most this delicious British berry!

We generally associate swimming in the sea with hot summer days, where swimming is simply the perfect way to cool off. But did you know plunging into cold water has many health benefits?

We would love if you could take a moment to vote. It has been a very challenging time for hospitality, and these awards will be a much need lift and encouragement to all the amazing restaurants and hotels, and hardworking people who make them.
