The Forum: A Premier Entertainment Venue on the Yorkshire Coast

The Forum: A Premier Entertainment Venue on the Yorkshire Coast

I must confess I thought I knew all that The Forum had to offer - I've visited the Cinema often and been tempted by a round of 10-pin-bowling a time or two. The Lodge Restaurant looks pretty tempting as well. But it was only after meeting John and Danny, the managers of the complex that I really took in all that this amazing venue has to offer. A family could quite easily spend a whole day here - its the perfect all-weather, all-age entertainment venue. Let's start with the Cinema, there's three screens - it's the only multi-screen cinema on…

Thai (Yorkshire) Crab Cakes

Thai (Yorkshire) Crab Cakes

This might be a Thai recipe but as we're generally using Yorkshire Crab I'm adding it to the title. I've had this recipe on a scrap of paper for years - its got splats all-over it from the many times I've used it. I think it originally came from Nigel Slater so I suppose I should give him a mention. What I love about this is how simple it is - it's one of those 'bung everything in a blender together and whiz' recipes - you can't go wrong as long as you are using good quality fresh ingredients. You…

Writing a letterWriting a letter - some might say is a lost art thanks to social media but it is still favoured by many and is an excellent way of letting someone know you are thinking of them. The act of taking your time to sit and write to a friend is not only therapeutic for yourself - but it will also mean so much to the receiver too. There are so many places now to find beautiful, writing paper. We love the writing paper at WHSmith not only do they sell writing pads for all your doodles you can…

Behold the jewel in Whitby's culinary crown, the Whitby Lemon Bun. Today the Team at LYC find out the facts behind this delicious confectionary that has been enjoyed in Whitby for over a century.

Out with the old in with the new! 👡

Out with the old in with the new! 👡

Just as spring cleaning the home is a thing, at this time of year, I like to have a good look at what I have in the shoe department to make sure the sandals and pumps are still good for the coming year. Digging out my footwear and lining it up, I realise they have all seen better days! So, it’s time to get out there and see what’s on offer. I head down the high street to Pavers, which is a favourite of mine, and not just because there is so much choice but because the customer service is…

Redcliffe Farm – from Eggs to Hampers (and a bit more besides)

Redcliffe Farm – from Eggs to Hampers (and a bit more besides)

I'd be really surprised if there is anyone in the general area that hasn't heard of Redcliffe Farm. They have built a really solid reputation since they first established the shop in 2007 as THE go-to farm shop for quality, locally sourced fresh ingredients. The Cafe, is open all year round 7 days a week - open from 9am serves a perfect Eggs Benedict (not surprising given their origins - more later) but they are also renowned for a pretty scrummy Steak Pie too. Most of the favourites found in the cafe can also be found in the shop to…

The Cat’s Pyjamas

The Cat’s Pyjamas

Like me, I wonder if you've walked past the Tramway building on the corner of St Nicholas Cliff, thinking of it as the old-style cafe it was many years ago. If so, I encourage you to stop and take another look. The new Cat's Pyjamas has most definitely had a make-over. But be assured, it still has a lovely quirky vintage feel to it but with some fresh additions to decor and lighting. The main change, however, is in the menu and drinks offer. This is not just a place to stop for tea and cake - though this is…
