Inspired by the recent BBC Four documentary “Can Eating Insects Save the World?“, we have collaborated with a local Asian chef to bring you an exclusive bug-based menu for tonight’s curry night. For starters – Giant Water bugs, marinaded overnight in Titan Beetle blood and lime leaves. Main course will be a choice of either Tandoori Tikka Tarantula or Giant Garam Masala Camel Spider. The beauty of these spider dishes is that everyone gets a leg. To accompany, we have …

Just Beer goes Stateside.
On Wednesday February 13th, Just Beer went all Stateside for a couple of hours or so, when they hosted Owen Ogletree and a team of 20 beer writers, bar owners and craft brewers from Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.

BeerMuda Triangle beer fest – Review.
A rather nice review appeared a couple of days ago on one of the beer groups, proof that the festival has quite a draw and entices discerning drinkers to travel some distance to visit the fest and bring money to the town. It is reproduced here in a slightly edited version (just to correct some spelling and grammar). After enjoying the views from the train of snowy scenery all the way across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, I arrived in Nottingham with …
