ED'S LETTER
In, out, in, out shake it all about. The Title office has been abuzz
with talk about the EU Referendum for what seems like forever
and by the time you read this it may well be over and our
Facebook feeds full of cats again. But we live in exciting political
times and whether you’re an innie or an outie, this year has seen
one of the biggest democratic questions for decades.
In the melee of all this exciting political discourse (much of
which here has been centred around the price of wine) we
have actually managed to pull together a really lovely issue
of Title Sussex. We’ve taken the design and shaken it up a bit,
streamlining our look and raising our standards, and have
some new content additions, such as our regular photography
feature, and new look social pages. We hope you like it. We’re
also very proud to be sponsors of the Brighton & Hove Business
Awards again this year and more about that can be found on
page 88. Get entering!
As well as that, there is the awesomeness that is Sir David actual
Attenborough in this issue! As our favourite naturalist hits 90
we look back on his career and dig out some amazing photos of
him through the years; and for our festival-stroke-summery type
pages we’ve got over a dozen pages dedicated to fashion and
beauty and how to work that stunning look in a muddy field.
And just so you know… Glastonbury – we predict mud.
LOVE this issue, and cannot wait to see the next one, which
is our bumper autumn special with weddings, business,
education, new motors and Christmas parties all having a big
fat focus. Meanwhile, enjoy the summer – I hope there’s some
sun – and see you in a few weeks.

BUDDING YOUNG
AUTHORS
2SUMMER
HOLIDAY
BATTLES
Do you think you’ve got what it takes to
become an author? It’s time to put your
writing to the test with a new county-
wide competition giving youngsters
the opportunity to get their own book
printed.
Children who attend Sussex primary
and secondary schools can enter the
Evonprint Get Kids Writing competition
by writing their own short story book
on any topic they choose, and the
winner will have their creation printed
and bound into five beautiful books.
Two winners will be chosen from
schools in Sussex - one primary and
one secondary - with the competition
designed to encourage children to use
their imaginations and to develop their
story writing skills. The two winners will
also receive a £50 Amazon voucher
while their school will receive £75
worth of national book tokens.
To take part email getkidswriting@
pmwcom.co.uk before the Monday
31 October 2016 deadline. Make
sure you include the child’s name,
age, year group and school name,
plus email and phone contact
details for the parent/guardian.
If you’re already dreading the summer
holidays and the difficulties that arise
trying to entertain the kids for six weeks
then don’t pull your hair out just yet as
Arundel Castle has got a fantastic line-
up of child-friendly events to keep the
little ones occupied.
Kicking off on July 9-10, the Castle
is introducing the Norman Knights’
Tournament, which will feature a thrilling
combat and archery tournament in
the upper ground as well as have-a-
go archery for over 8’s and falconry
demonstrations.
The highlight of the calendar is
undoubtedly the International Jousting
Medieval Tournament on 26-31 July,
when knights from across the world
battle it out atop specially trained
horses before hand-to-hand combat
challenges. A Medieval Tournament
then takes place on 20-21 August
before the History In Action event on
27-29 August, which travels through the
Norman, Medieval and Victorian periods
to show how Sussex developed into the
county it is today.
There’s also plenty of other events
throughout the holiday weeks to keep
the kids active, and allow you some
peace, and to check them out visit www.

That incredibly famous commentary, as
Sir Geoff Hurst galloped down the pitch
before smashing the ball home to win
England’s one and only World Cup, was
broadcast in 1966.
50 years on, the hat-trick scoring hero
was celebrating the day at The Grand
Hotel Brighton, at the Best of British
sporting lunch in aid of Sussex-based
children’s charity, Rockinghorse.
The event raised a whopping £38,500
and saw almost 500 guests from across
businesses in the county be entertained
by stories from the World Cup winner
as well as bidding on auction items
that included a signed Lionel Messi
boot and a 1966 winning England shirt
signed by 10 of the starting 11.
Organiser of the day, Ryan Heal, said,
“Our Best of British guests never fail to
give generously and the money raised
will continue the work of Rockinghorse
as it looks to celebrate its own golden
jubilee next year, having helped tens
of thousands of Sussex children lead
better and healthier lives.”
No bees, no us, right? Although Einstein
was probably talking more about the
human race, plants and animals, the
same can be said of Petworth-based
deli The Hungry Guest.
The UK’s Deli of the Year are doing their
best to support the bees by signing
up to stock Origin Honey’s premium
Infusions range of honeys as well as
the brand’s sister label, Beehive Brae
honey beer.
Both are produced by Plan Bee Ltd,
which produce award-winning honey,
mead and beer and, with more than
200 beehives up and down the country,
they’re doing their best to protect and
preserve the dwindling honeybee
population. Having returned more than
10 million bees back to the natural
environment, their honey is surely one
of the most environmentally-friendly
products around.
“Our honey has the highest of
sustainability credentials, and our
beer, as the label proudly quotes, was
‘established for the betterment of bees’,”
says Plan Bee CEO and founder, Warren
Bader. “In choosing these products,
consumers are showing their support
for dwindling honeybee numbers,
and showing a greater desire to buy
ethically, supporting the environment
and championing sustainability.”

Joe McGann
An actor’s
life for me
Each month Joe McGann explores the
ups and downs of an actor’s life…
“A little fame is a very
odd thing - last year I was
asked by a woman, ‘Excuse
me, didn’t you used to be
Joe McGann?’ I still am,
and am still stuck for an
appropriately witty answer”
One beautiful spring day last week I was sat
outside a cafe and had noticed some attention
from the table of two middle-aged couples sat
next to us. The enquiry soon followed: “Excuse
me, didn’t you used to be an actor?” In truth,
it’s been a quiet month, work wise. There have
been a couple of voice jobs but I’ve not spent
more than seven or eight days in actual gainful
employment, but this chap was under the
impression that I’d given up completely, since
he’d “not seen me on telly for years”.
This kind of thing happens quite frequently and,
as a younger man, I’d have probably bristled at
the suggestion of some kind of failure and put
him straight. Now I just smile and nod and try to
resist the temptation to justify my position or to
explain that I love the theatre, actually, and no,
I don’t think that going into the jungle with Ant
and Dec would sort my career out…
A little fame, such as mine, is a very odd thing
- just last year I was asked, very politely, by a
woman, “Excuse me, didn’t you used to be Joe
McGann?” I still am, and am still stuck for an
appropriately witty answer, for any answer other
than the one I gave, which was a simpering,
resigned, “Yes, that was me”.
I can tell you this much, when I hear people
say that they want to be famous above all else,
I invariably raise a single eyebrow, bite down
gently to still
my tongue
and compose
the best non-
committal
expression I
can muster.
It’s a foolish
thing to
chase, fame,
being as it is
equally bestowed on the glorious and the ghastly
- the Kanye West and the Fred West - and is both a
boon and a curse, whoever and wherever it touches.
I think it was Robert Downey Jr - who has achieved
both fame and infamy - who said that he does the
job of acting for free, but charges the big bucks to
deal with the rest of the shit that goes with it. But
I’m not Iron Man, and
I need to eat, so I wait
for the phone to ring.
This morning I’ve
received from my
agent the lines and
character breakdown
for a screen test next
week. It’s for a major
TV series and the
contract would be
for a year, so it’s an
amazing opportunity
and one which I will
try my utmost to
bag. I welcome the
opportunity to work,
but I’m wary of the distorting prism of the PR and
gossip machines that go with it, and that is my
admittedly first-world problem.
If I do get the job, however, I shall be tempted to sit
at that same cafe for as long as it takes till I see that
man again, show him the press release and prove to
him, and to myself, that I’m still an actor, and it’s true
because I’m on his telly. That wouldn’t be odd at all.
Till next month, then, I shall mostly be channeling
Micawber, Dickens’ garrulous optimist, ever sure
that “something will turn up”, and remaining vaguely
recognisable, but anonymous enough not to have to
go behind the VIP rope with the Freds and Kanyes.

For the
love of
lifeIf keeping busy is what keeps
you young, David Attenborough
is living proof. At 90 he’s still
making programmes and
wondering at – and wandering
round – the world.
Sam Harrington-Lowe
finds out a bit more…

T I T L E I N T E R V I E W#title2016

I can’t imagine life on earth without Attenborough.
In a year that has seen so many well-loved faces
disappear, I’ve made a silent pact with the powers
that be. I’ll be kind and helpful and useful to my
fellow mankind and all animals forever, even
spiders, if you don’t take Dave. I promise. And
so far, so good. Dave is alive and kicking, and
still making programmes that bring the magic of
the natural world into the homes and hearts of
millions. Selfishly, I don’t ever want him to stop,
although I know he’s not immortal (is he?). But I can
remember sitting cross-legged in front of the tele
as a kid, watching in wonder as he dug about in
dung, or tickled gorillas. I still feel that same sense
of wonder when I watch him now.
Is it his voice? That’s certainly
part of it. But Attenborough
is always an absolute joy to
watch – the gentle elegance,
his passion for the natural
world… the wry humour,
and the genuine humility. I
don’t believe in pedestals,
but Attenborough really is
a prince amongst men. For
the purposes of writing this
piece I tried to see if there
was any evidence, anywhere, of Attenborough
behaving badly, and I felt unbelievably treacherous
just typing the words ‘bad stories about David
Attenborough’ into Google. I felt so sullied I had
to wash my hands afterwards. But the only ‘bad’
stuff I could find at all was Bear Grylls getting
a lambasting for calling Dave ‘a bit dry’. I was
relieved. I only scrolled through three pages
though; if there is some bad stuff I didn’t really
want to see it and three pages… well, that seemed
enough for me to say at least I looked. As for
Grylls… well he needs a thick ear, frankly.
In the flesh Attenborough is just the same. He
doesn’t identify as a ‘TV personality’, he’s just a
naturalist doing his thing, talking with humour
and passion about what he does. He wasn’t even
supposed to be a presenter in the first place.
Originally working on the other side of the
camera, he started off producing all sorts of shows,
including “one that was an archaeological quiz. We
even did a show about knitting!”, before finding
himself as a presenter on a show called Zoo Quest.
Ultimately he ended up presenting one day to fill
in for some slacker and everyone was astounded
with his zoological knowledge and his on-camera
charisma. He ended up being a regular presenter
and ultimately, having seen his work on Zoo
Quest somewhere around 1965, “someone came
along and asked me if I’d come and run BBC2 as
controller. We didn’t have much of a brief, except
to ‘make it different to BBC1’ so we just thought
we’d make some new things.” The rest, as they say,
is (natural) history.
He’s literally been on TV since TV was born – an
achievement very few others can lay claim to. So
there are very few people reading this, or even
walking the earth, who haven’t spent their TV years
watching him. Attenborough has been bringing
ground breaking programmes about the natural
world for over 60 years. Is he ever likely to stop? Will
he just keep on making films forever?!
“Oh yes, as long as your arm really. We could go on
making these series for a very long time. As long as
people want us, really. We all made a list of the sort
of things were interesting and then looking for links
to pair them up. We’ve got a few more numbers up
our sleeves, anyway.”
His programme a couple of
years ago, Natural Curiosities,
has a title that pretty much
sums up his approach to life;
“I just think there are more
varied animals in that series
than almost any other series
you could think of, ranging
from whales to fleas to camels
to cheetahs, there is just a
whole range of things. And
the interesting thing is to find
one particular aspect that is perhaps unexpected
and that you wouldn’t have thought of, and
particularly wouldn’t have thought in connection to
the other half of the problem which join together.
Who thought they’d be a link between a flea and a
cheetah?”
If there was anyone who you would back to find
a link between a flea and a cheetah, it would be
Attenborough. Since television was actually invented,
this treasured and respected naturalist has been
on it. The oracle on all things natural, helping our
understanding of the world from the Antarctic to
the Amazon rainforest. But even a man as learned
and well-travelled as Attenborough says that there is
always something else to discover. It continues to be
his main motivation.
“Oh yes, you’ll never find everything out. You can’t
possibly find everything out. I never lose my curiosity
for finding out things. It’s a pleasure. Finding out new
things is always a pleasure, it really is.”
Whilst that might be the case, Attenborough
nonetheless doesn’t shy away from the problems
faced by the planet, wrought specifically by human
beings, in the Radio Times recently he explains,
“We are a plague on the Earth. It’s coming home
to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just
climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow
food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our
population growth or the natural world will do it for
us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now.

new things is always

coordinated view about the planet, it’s going to get
worse and worse.”
It isn’t just Natural Curiosities that he’s worked on
recently. Conquest of the Skies, a Sky 3D series
exploring nature's greatest aeronauts has already
aired to great acclaim, as has a programme about
the Great Barrier Reef, which he calls “the most
remarkable place of breath-taking beauty” and of
course, the most recent Life that Glows, exploring
the beauty and magic of bioluminescence in
the natural world using state-of-the-art filming
methodology and cameras. And to celebrate
his 90th birthday, the BBC is airing a lovely
retrospective and interview called, quite simply,
Attenborough at 90.
Watching Attenborough at 90 is like having a warm
bath with the windows open and the birds singing
outside. There’s something endlessly charming
about him as he talks – he’s a gifted raconteur but
he’s not without teeth. As Kirsty Young takes him
through some of his back catalogue, there are
some lovely digs and parries as well as some frankly
ribald tales. It’s not like he’s a complete softie, and
I love that. I love that Attenborough can surprise
and perhaps shock a bit. I bet he’s a cracking
dinner party guest. As part of the show, friends
and colleagues including Michael Palin and Chris
Packham get stuck in and it’s a joy to watch. So it has
to be asked; now he’s 90, is it time to relax?
“I can’t be more grateful that people ask me to make
programmes. I’m very lucky and it’s a great privilege.
I can’t believe I’m that lucky,” he says. So can we
take it there are no plans to retire? “Not while I’m
vertical, no. Here I am at my age and a lot of people
at my age aren’t able to do any work as nobody has
given them any work. I just count my lucky stars.
And a lot of people my age don’t work as they
aren’t physically able to do it. It’s certainly not virtue
that has led to this, but it would foolish not to take
advantage of it. I just thank my lucky stars.”

TEN THINGS
YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT
SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
1 Sir David’s favourite filming location is
central Europe. “Because I know it least
and because I can get decent food and a
reasonable bottle of cheap wine.”
2 During those early years at the BBC, from
Zoo Quest in 1965 onwards, as Controller
at BBC2 he masterminded the concept of
televised snooker. And he also introduced
colour TV. And was responsible for
commissioning Monty Python.
3 He is agnostic.
4 Attenborough is not a fan of rats. “I don’t
like rats, I’ve never made a secret of that
— they are the ultimate horrible thing,” he
told the BBC. “For the first time in nearly
a quarter of a century I had a very bad
stomach upset in India. I went and sat on
the loo and got rid of the entire contents
of my stomach, as one does. Well, I was
sitting there ... and a rat came up from
between my legs from the loo. He was
wet, I have to tell you.”
5 If he hadn’t got into TV there’s a good
chance he’d have been a teacher.
6 He holds 31 honorary degrees from
British universities. That’s a record.
7 Once he reached 75 years of age, he was
told by the BBC he could fly business
class. Before that he always flew economy,
and refused upgrades unless his entire
crew were upgraded too.
8 Attenborough’s first boss at the BBC
thought he wouldn’t work on screen
because his teeth were too big.
9 That famous Life on Earth show where
he has that eye contact with a Rwandan
mountain gorilla and whispers, “There is
more meaning and mutual understanding
in exchanging a glance with a gorilla than
any other animal I know”, was watched by
an estimated 500 million people.
10 He’s a multi-gong kind of guy. The only
person ever to have won a BAFTA in black
and white, colour, HD and 3D.
“Until humanity manages
to sort itself out and get
a coordinated view about
the planet, it’s going to
get worse and worse.”

Ju Kerswell wake boarding
by Brighton pier, by Stef Kerswell
Being married to a sports junkie I get
plenty of opportunities to take action
shots. I’ve watched the surf community
get larger every year and now the breaks
are packed with surfers battling over the
same waves. Things can get quite heated
at times with the surfers “dropping in” on
each other (stealing waves) and fighting
over their turf. Surfing works when the
waves are big, whereas wake boarding
needs to be as flat as possible. This suits
me fine as I’m not the best on boats. Kite
surfing is great fun to watch (and shoot)
as it is continuous action; one kite surfer
even jumped over Brighton Pier! Most
of the kite surfing takes place at Lancing
beach if you fancy checking it out. I love
taking water sports shots which is just as
well as I’m far too much of a wimp to get
in the cold water myself.

Overdressed,
by Erika Szostak
I’ve always loved the
Brighton Naked Bike Ride.
Photographically, it’s so
rich - the scene is set for
images that are funny and
quirky, and full of fantastic
expressions, juxtapositions
and narrative. But here’s the
thing. Photographers come
out of the woodwork to shoot
this event, and generally they
all focus on the same - obvious
- thing, which is the naked bike
riders, of course. Because I
wanted to do something a bit
different, I came up with the
idea of inverting that focus.
I thought, why not try to create
a fashion image for which
the focus would be on a fully
dressed model among all of
the undressed people, so that
the nakedness became the
context rather than the subject
of the shot. So that’s what
we did. Creating this image
did prove to be a logistical
challenge, as it required
navigating long distances
through very crowded streets.
In any case we had a great
time doing it and this remains
one of my favourite images
ever. Model: Noelle Vaughn.

Lucy in poppies,
by Graham Franks
Summer to a photographer
means taking an image in a way
that anyone viewing the picture
can feel the atmosphere and
warmth at the time it was taken,
and hopefully make people
feel good for the few seconds
as they view the scene. When
not working it becomes a kind
of busman’s holiday, because
the first thing I do on a day off
is reach for the camera. On this
summer’s day my wife Barbara
and I, and granddaughter Lucy,
drove out into the West Sussex
countryside not looking for
anything in particular, just a
relaxing drive. We crossed Long
Furlong near Findon where
we came across a field with
a beautiful show of poppies.
Grandchildren are ideal for
photography; they can pose,
appearing relaxed without any
inhibitions as was the case in
this photo. I asked Lucy to walk
into the poppies; she soon
became oblivious of the camera
as I clicked away. She wondered
through the blooms without
posing at all. Her fee? A double
whippy ice cream later that day!

Red Bull, by Matt Ryan
If I had the time I’d do a lot
more street photography. Of
all styles that I dabble with, it
takes the most patience but
offers the greatest reward. If I
come home with one decent
shot from a day of standing on
corners trying to be invisible
I’m happy. This was my last
shot on this day, I REALLY don’t
like dogs (and they don’t seem
to like me either) but when I
spotted this hen and her beast
I just knew that something was
going to happen. Asking if I
could photograph her dog I
crouched down, completely
forgetting my fear, close and
wide, then boom! It went for
me. I got three images as it
leapt up; two useless and then
this one. At first all I see is the
dog, but then I’m drawn into the
scene; the tiara seems at odds
with its wearer, the bottle in her
bag catches the light and the
can of Red Bull appears huge,
like the dog in her tiny hands.
I find myself wondering about
her, there’s a sadness in how
separate she seems from the
group, from the world perhaps.

Bougies at Ridgeview,
by Julia Claxton
One of the traditional methods for
keeping vines frost free through
freezing nights is to light bougies
- big candles - to stop the frost
settling on the tender buds. Ever
since I’ve learned of this I’d wanted to
photograph it. In April this year when
there were several frosty nights in a
row Mardi Roberts of Ridgeview Wine
Estate kindly gave me permission to
go out to their vineyard in Ditchling
to capture it. It was not only frosty but
there was snow on the ground, and
although it was totally enchanting
for me to be out there I couldn’t
forget that it was not only hard work
for those keeping the candles lit but
there was a very real danger that the
vines could still be damaged. Happily
the vines survived and we can look
forward to a 2016 vintage of world
class sparkling wine from Ridgeview!

A moment in time, by Rupert Cobb
Photography is about observation
for me. This shot is a culmination
of several different things coming
together in a single moment. We were
at Sywell Piston and Props covering
the Hesketh 24 motorcycle, and this
70-year-old motorcyclist with an
incredibly quick start, demonstrating
reactions that shouldn’t even be
possible, totally captivated me. He
out-performed riders a third of his
age. So the moment unfolding. A
wonderful painting of time. The
rider talking to the designer and test
rider of the Prototype Hesketh 24
motorcycle whilst Bruce Dickinson flies
by in a First World War Triplane. So
you find a place to sit and wait for
the narrative to unfold… and when
it happens it may only be for a split
second.

Untitled, by Alexander Voodoo
This image speaks to me on many levels,
both personally and aesthetically.
Aesthetically I like having the subject
very off-centre but yet with all the lines in
the image leading your eye to them. The
long shadows, the delicate footsteps and
even the rocks and landscape. It has a real
feel of reflection and time about it. The
subjectʻs shadow lying long behind her
like a past she is trying to move away from,
and the future uncertain ahead, cut off
from view, but bright and enticing. I do not
know if others see this too. Perhaps the
feelings I get from this image are amplified
by the fact that the subject is a very
important person to me, who I care about
deeply and who changed my life in many
ways, but who also I was in the process of
losing at the time this was taken. So this
photo speaks to me of that process of
moving on and contemplation of change.
It is just a moment caught in time but in
context it takes on new meaning.

Play
your
cards
right
This month Title Media had a team poker
night. None of us can play poker really;
many of us can’t even remember our own
names half the time. So we thought we’d
draft in the services of the experts, and
brought in the rather amazing Pop-Up
Casino team. Sam Harrington-Lowe caught
up with casino impresario Darren Kis to find
out a bit more about what else they do...
titlesussex.co.uk

38
I read a joke the other day; Poker is like sex.
Everyone thinks they’re great at it but most people
don’t have a clue what they’re doing. So it would
be good to get some help – in either department,
right? If you’ve ever fancied playing but don’t
know your flush from your straight, then we’ve got
something that can help you with your card games.
The sex thing, not so much. Sorry.
The Pop-Up Casino is exactly what it says on the
tin, but as part of the range of services, there’s also
stuff like Poker School – held over a few nights in
the Den where you learn how to play, then really
how to understand the game properly – and the
kind of night we had, where they turned up in our
office with a proper poker table, chips and two
hilarious guys in bow ties, and within a very short
time somehow you’ve had several wines, learnt
how to play poker and had a mini tournament.
They also run women-only poker nights (the Bob
Dobbs’ Poker Finishing School for Girls), as the
game can be pretty blokey and women learning
can feel a bit overwhelmed. And all this as well as
the pop-up casinos at festivals and events, where
they pitch a wide range of different sized marquees,
depending on how much space they’re allowed.
The bigger the tent, the more casino tables they
bring in, as it’s not just poker – they do roulette and
blackjack too – and they’ve also got a great roster of
DJs and a whopping sound system. I’ve seen them
at a festival myself and they were by far the busiest
tent on the whole site.
“Seeing players go from total
bewilderment to mastering the
basic skills well enough to beat me
in a game (if luck is on their side).
That’s always really satisfying.”

39
So firstly I asked Daz how the school
part works.
“The pop-up poker school teaches
total beginners how to play poker in
a relaxed and friendly environment.
Players learn how to play tournament
poker, understand etiquette at the
table, basic poker mathematics and
the art of bluffing. The beginners’
course is three sessions over three
weeks and players are then ready
to play in a casino. We also offer
advanced courses for promising
players and we eventually hope to
sponsor a team of players to play in
national and international events. It
began as an offshoot of the pop-up
casino that we take to festivals. We’d
run a ʻcasino schoolʻ in the daytime
and poker proved a popular favourite.
Initially we ran a female-only poker
school for friends and family to learn,
and are now expanding it to include
men and mixed couples.”
So a few days of learning at poker school
and you’re ready to play in a casino? Cool.
What else do people need to think about
if they want to be a great player?
“Nerves of steel, the heart of lion, a sensible
head and a good sense of humour. Youʻll
need it for all the bad beats. But seriously,
anyone from 18 to 80 can learn to play;
people who like a challenge and want to
learn a new skill enjoy it. The social side of
the game attracts confident people and the
psychological aspect interests the introverts.”
Where is the most fun to be had, for you?
“Seeing players go from total bewilderment
to mastering the basic skills well enough to
beat me in a game (if luck is on their side).
That’s always really satisfying. Poker is a really
growing trend; the game is multifaceted and
appeals to a wide cross section of society
and these days itʻs even easier to play
online or at a casino. The game is constantly
evolving and the new younger players
coming in help to push the game forward.
Personally Iʻd like to see more women
playing poker; currently less than 10% of
players are women. They can be fearsome
players and bring another dimension to
the game.”

We understand you do pop up casinos
at events and festivals. How does that
work and don’t you need a license for
that thing?
“The festival casino is a charity casino,
which means we donʻt need a gaming
licence and we can offer casino-style
action for a fraction of the normal casino
cost (minimum bets of 25p). We pay
out in prizes only, like drink tokens, gift
vouchers, t-shirts etc and the profits go
to charity. Our festival tent honestly is
a feast of entertainment, as we’ve got
roulette, blackjack and/or poker with
a dance floor and our own resident
DJs alongside special guests. Actually
I must get a shout out to ‘Just a Couple
of Mums’ who are our favourite DJ duo.
Anna Davies and Jules McGlough –
they’re a force to be reckoned with! Just
to make it a bit more fun we normally
theme the casino and the staff dress
up accordingly. We also do private
hire events for birthdays, weddings etc
and we also take the poker school into
peopleʻs homes for private tuition or
stag and hen nights. We even once did
a ʻBitcoin Casinoʻ, where players used
the digital currency to play.”
Unforgettable moments?
“Personally, my first poker tournament
in Las Vegas back in 2006. I arrived in
Vegas to play a £100 tournament at the
Venetian hotel, not expecting to get
very far, and ended up winning £1,800
and I managed to leave the next day
with all my winnings intact. For the
Casino, most memorable is probably
one of our first festivals when we ended
up playing poker with most of the
headline acts into the early hours.”
What next for you guys?
“Our next poker school sessions
start in July; we have taster sessions
and the beginnerʻs courses running.
Then weʻre at Lounge on the Lake
festival in September 2-4 with the
full pop-up casino experience.”

We’ve had a good look at the shoes in the store and it’s one
hell of a blast just being in the shop itself. Which is a refreshing
change – when so many shoe stores have muted colours that are
designed to be easy on the eye, Wolky is the footwear equivalent
of wearing multi-coloured sunglasses and standing inside a
Rubik’s Cube whilst listening to Italian techno on 11.
We picked a couple of different types of footwear to try and gave
them to a couple of readers to test them out…
Biker boot in orange leather
£85.99
“These are very comfortable, first and foremost, and really
lightweight. I wear Dr Martens a lot of the time so I love my
boots but these are so unbelievably light! Really like walking
on air! They’re really grippy and seem to be waterproof –
which is definitely a plus for going to festivals. And I really
like that it’s got a zip so that I don’t need to keep doing and
undoing the laces all the time. So much easier. My word for
these boots is ‘raveable’!”
Lottie, Shoreham-by-Sea
£85.99
“I tend to spend my summer living in flip-flops because
I’m quite lazy and I love that these tick the same box in
that sense, but these are a world away from cheap flip-
flops. The buckles across the wide part of the feet are
adjustable which is great because my feet are quite wide,
and I love the Velcro strap so you can do them up and
undo them really easily. Add the cushioned insole to the
mix and this is really quite an awesome slip-on flip-flip
type sandal but way more comfy. Totally love the silvery
zebra stripes too. I would buy more of these.”
Lucy, Burgess Hill
O’Connor sandals in zebra-print metallic leather
“Wolky is the footwear
equivalent of wearing

It’s festival season and – with the
exception of the omnipresent
Hunter wellie – finding the right
shoes for a festival can give a
girl plenty to think about. So we
talked to the guys at Wolky, who
have just opened up their store
in Bond Street, Brighton, to see
what they recommended.

Get festival

Just because you’re in a field doesn’t mean you don’t want

So we all know that brows are big
news, right? But getting brows on
fleek in a field is tough. And who
wants to get rained on/sweaty/
covered in mud and watch their
brows slide down their face?!
Nobody, that’s who. So we’ve found
an amazing solution to fix this.
Michelle at Chelle’s Belles Beauty
has been transforming brows for
over seven years and was one
of the first in the Sussex area to
offer microblading, a semi-
permanent method that implants
pigment under the epidermis, using
a specially-designed tiny blade
which leaves thin realistic hair
strokes for the most natural finish.
Chelle will design a brow that is
totally bespoke to you and your
colour will be mixed from the highest
quality pigments.
This is perfect for summer and
festivals in particular as sparse brows
can be fully restored and a great
shape created, so you no longer
need to apply brow makeup. Yes -
you can throw that brow pencil away!
This leaves you to worry about more
important things, like what outfit
youʻre going to wear…

Mostofall…ENJOY!
Pitch your tent a long way
from the stage, that way you
have to WALK a lot to find it.
Walking is great exercise and
will chill out your nervous
system and reduce your
cortisol levels.
Take plenty of fresh water with you
and water bottles. If you know

involved then try and drink plenty
of water in between drinks.
BBQ food can be really
healthy, just make sure
you store food properly
and cook it well. Opt for
chicken kebabs (you can
make your own and by
dicing up breast meat,
mixing it with vegetables
and sprinkling them with
lemon juice and chilli to
add flavour) or homemade
steak burgers. If you
prepare them before you
go and keep them in a
chilled bag they should be
fine.
Apples / Pears / Berries / Nuts

Hummus - all very easy and
satiating snack food.

fabulous way to exercise and

DON’T PEPPER OUR PICKLE
Step aside kale. Take a seat avocado. Move over
blueberries. If you want to try out the latest foods
with super health benefits then look no further
than the techniques of pickling and
fermenting.
AlthoughAlthough the term pickling may bring to mind
pickled beetroot or cucumber, it applies to a
massive variety of foods and is a great source of
nutrients as well as being a great preservation
technique.
With our Sussex chefs constantly looking to
experimentexperiment and get creative in their kitchen, the
idea of pickling and fermenting has added a
whole new dimension to their dishes. At The Set
restaurant in Brighton’s Regency Square the chefs
have been experimenting with these
techniques for a while and have recently built a
The Sussex food scene is ever changing and here
are just three of the latest developments to keep an
eye out for…
NOTHING COMPARES TO EU
Whether you’re an innie or and outie, the EU Referendum is the talk of
the town right now. Its significance is monumental and without a doubt
will have a lasting affect on our thriving food and drink
industryindustry in Brighton. In order to get an educated opinion on the topic
I talked to a good friend of mine, Terre à Terre’s Olivia Reid, to see
what affects Brexit could have on the Sussex food and drink
industry.
“The“The hospitality industry in the UK is highly dependent on a good
working relationship with the EU not only because it’s a tourist-related
business with huge visitor traffic from Germany, Spain, France, Italy
and the Netherlands annually but, mainly, because all hospitality
businesses have a high contingency of European staff on their payroll,”
explains Olivia.
“The idea of the UK working under an umbrella of EU employment law,
assuming that’s what would happen, would involve changes to current
employment terms and contracts and an unpredictability that many from
overseas may not be willing to take. I hear many supporters of Brexit
saying great jobs for our own but that is not the case.
“The“The UK has been struggling for many years with recruitment issues within
the industry, enticing skilled professionals from overseas has been
essential for growth and development of the sector as there is a huge
shortage of skilled professionals being produced internally and any
departure from the EU would make this worse; more complicated and
expensive. Vote to stay in the EU this June and keep feeding our growing
industry.”

FEEL THE FREEZE IN SUMMERTIME
Now summertime is finally showing its face we’re blessed in Brighton to
have great weather, a thriving seafront offering and some fantastic frozen
treats to indulge in.
FromFrom authentic gelatos to granitas, there is a wealth of frozen offerings to
choose from, with my personal favourite being Boho Gelato in Pool Valley.
Founder Seb Cole has developed hundreds of flavours of his Italian-styled
ice cream, including plenty of vegan options, and in early June he was set to
jet off to the Nivarata Festival of Granitas in Italy to work with some of the
country’s best granita makers. Before he went I caught up with him to find
out what it was all about.
“It’s“It’s a festival celebrating granita in Acereale in Sicily, near Catania,” says
Seb. “I’m there to promote the international spread of granita and also to
promote the Brighton Food Festival and Sussex produce abroad. During the
festival there will be a Sussex stand where I will be making granita in
different, creative flavours using Sussex produce such as Blackdown gin and
beer from the Beer Collective.
“In“In terms of the state of gelato in the UK, Italy and around the world, it’s a
rapidly growing market, however, the majority of it is not true artisan ice
cream. Nivarata has been created to celebrate the history and original

international level to shout about great quality artisan gelato and sorbet.”

fermenting room in an old cellar under the restaurant,
known as the “cave”.
“It’s the perfect cool temperature and dry environment for
us to create some delicious pickled and fermented food
goodness,” says Semone Bonner, Co-Founder of The
Set.Set. “Pickling and fermenting not only allows you to store
food long past their shelf life by preserving with vinegar,
salt and sugar but also alters and changes the flavour, in
some cases making subtle flavours stronger and,
likewise, strong flavours more mellow and palatable.
“At The Set we don’t use pepper to season dishes, its
controversialcontroversial but makes so much sense when you break
down what makes a balanced dish: you need sweetness,
sour, bitter and salt. At no point is pepper or spice
required to “balance a dish” so here pepper is replaced by
vinegar or citrus juice. How much nicer is a parfait with
some pickled shallots, your burger with a gherkin or lemon
juice on your fish?”

DELICIOUS FOOD
AND SUPERB SERVICE
ON THE TABLE
Lee and Liz Parsons
opened The Parsons Table
restaurant in Arundel
last summer and a year
on, Daniel White met up
with the two catering
connoisseurs to find out
how it’s going…
What is The Parsons Table?
The Parsons Table is a place where friends and
family can meet and enjoy a delicious meal in a
welcoming and comfortable environment. We
pride ourselves on friendly but discreet service
but our focus is that you leave having enjoyed a
bloody good meal.
How did The Parsons Table get started?
The Parsons Table was conceived four years
ago over numerous bottles of wine with family
on a warm summer evening in the wine region
of British Columbia, Canada. At the time we
weren’t sure if it would come to fruition in
Canada or the UK. Last summer the decision
was made and after a whirlwind few weeks
with some logistical headaches, we landed in
Arundel.
What’s your background?
We’re fortunate to have worked in the UK and
Canada in some of the leading hotels and
companies in the hospitality industry for the
last 20-25 years. We met 20 years ago in the
kitchens of Claridge’s Hotel and since then have
worked side-by-side in various establishments.
What makes The Parsons Table special?
It’s easy to say ‘The Chef’ but in all honesty,
it’s the entire team that contribute to making
The Parsons Table a place where guests like to
return. It’s the entire experience that’s important
to us, not just one element or one person.
What is the philosophy at The Parsons Table?
It’s about creating great flavours on each plate
without compromising the integrity of the
ingredient. We don’t overcomplicate our food
and we let each ingredient sing. Our philosophy
is quite simply seasonal, delicious and bold.
What experience can people expect at
The Parsons Table?
A warm welcome, delicious food, a balanced
wine list and friendly but discreet service.
If you were King and Queen of Sussex for a day,
you would…
Sleep first then spend the rest of the sunny day
with our beautiful twin girls in the garden with a
perfectly iced GT!
Where can people find you and how can they get
in touch?

A SUMMERTIME TASTE
This time of the year is all about light,
refreshing, healthy meals and we’ve got one
from The Parsons Table which is just the ticket
for an evening with friends…
CHICKEN
1. Using a heavy bottomed frying pan, heat
the oil. Season the chicken breasts with
salt and pepper
2. Carefully (using kitchen tongs) place
the breast skin-side down into the pan.
Sear for 30 seconds. Add the crushed
garlic clove and place in the oven for
approx. 15 minutes
3. Remove from the oven. Add the butter,
rosemary and lemon juice. Turn the
chicken onto the flesh side and allow
to stand/rest for 7-10 minutes. The pan
juices will be the base for the sauce
SAUCE
1. Remove the chicken breast from the pan
and place onto a separate tray or plate
and keep warm
2. Add the stock to the pan juices. Bring
to the boil and simmer gently for 30
seconds. Season with salt and pepper if
required
3. Pass the sauce through a fine strainer
and keep to the side
PRESENTATION
1. Pan fry the gnocchi until a deep golden
colour all over
2. Reheat the vegetables in a pot of boiling
salted water for 30 seconds
3. Drain well and add to the gnocchi. Toss
and add the pea shoots – optional
4. Dress the gnocchi and vegetables on to
four pre-warmed plates
5. Slice the chicken on a bias, sauce
and serve
METHOD
GNOCCHI
1. Pre heat the oven to 375°F or
equivalent
2. Place the washed potatoes onto
a baking tray and place in the
preheated oven
3. Cook until soft - approx. I hour
4. Fill a medium-sized pan with approx.
2-3 litre of water and bring to the
simmer to use later
5. Once cooked, cut the potatoes in half
and scoop out the flesh and push
through a course sieve
6. Add the flour, egg yolk, herbs
and parmesan. Mix well, but do not
over work
7. Divide the mix into four equal parts.
Dust lightly with flour and roll into
long cylinders like the thickness of
a cork
8. Carefully lift the rolled cylinders of
gnocchi and place into the simmering
water. The gnocchi will sink and once
it floats, allow to cook for another
minute. Using a slotted spoon lift the
gnocchi onto a lightly oiled tray and
allow to cool in the fridge. Once cool
cut into approx. 3cm pieces. Put in the
fridge until required. This process can
be done a day before
VEGETABLES

Green grills from
the Emerald IsleUntil well into their twenties, David and Stephen Flynn
were typical meat-eating, pint-swilling jocks until they
tried a vegetarian diet. They developed a passion for
good food and health that was both addictive and utterly
infectious, and the Happy Pear café and shop in Ireland
has become an iconic brand.

INGREDIENTS
1 courgette
1 aubergine
1 red pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 x 200g pack of halloumi cheese
4 burger buns or wholemeal pittas
50g rocket or similar greens
Homemade Happy Pear chilli ketchup
Homemade Happy Pear tahini mayo
KETCHUP
1 chilli
200g tomato puree
100g honey
60ml apple cider vinegar
6 tbsp of water
MAYONNAISE
2 cloves of garlic
4 tbsp of tahini
Juice of half a lime
Half tbsp of honey
5 tbsp water

METHOD
1. Start by preparing your veg. Cut the courgette in half
and then into thin strips lengthwise. Slice the aubergines
lengthwise into thin strips. Chop the pepper vertically into
four large sections, discarding the core with the seeds.
Chop in the halloumi into four thin rectangular slices.
2. Put the cut veg into a large bowl with four tablespoons
of the oil and one teaspoon of salt. Mix well until they all
have a nice even coating.
3. Start to grill the prepared veg on a hot barbecue, turning
regularly – you want them nicely charred but also soft and
tender.
4. Remove your cooked veg from the grill and set aside
while you cook the halloumi – it will cook very quickly!
Put it on the barbecue until it has nice grill marks on each
side, about five minutes.
5. Toast the buns on the barbecue, then layer them up with
some homemade ketchup on the bottom bun, garlic
tahini mayo on the top bun, grilled courgettes, aubergine,
halloumi, roasted peppers and some rocket in between.
Take the first bite . . . epic, and oh so tasty!
This is a fab barbecue recipe and goes down a treat with
both veggies and non-veggies – always a winner! It’s one
of the most popular dishes on our evening menu.

Kirsten has been talking nutrition for over a decade in
workshops, on courses, on retreats and to the hundreds
of people who come for one-to-one consultations. And
then there are those she meets socially who open with,
“Oh, you’re a nutritionist? Can I just ask what you think
about...?” So here’s your chance to ask…
ASK
Great question, especially as I often
recommend raw honey to people.
Honey is often described as being the
same as white sugar, but actually they
are very different, especially when the
honey is raw.
Raw honey is unpasteurised (heat
treated) and unfiltered. It is brimming
over with minerals, B vitamins (no pun
intended!), enzymes and antioxidants;
all important for health and vitality.
Plus some very special nutrients with
antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-
fungal, anticancer and anti-allergenic
properties, such as polyphenols, pollen,
and bee propolis.
Heating raw honey instantly starts
to destroy many of these (and micro
filtering removes a lot of them too).
The minerals - manganese, potassium
selenium, iron, zinc and more - will
stay intact, but the rest will start to
deteriorate. Ideally, raw honey should
never be heated above 42 degrees C
or 95 degrees F (for comparison, the
equivalent to Gas Mark 1 on an oven
is 135 degrees C or 275 degrees F). So
ideally, even in herbal tea, wait till the
tea is cool enough to drink before you
add the honey.
I admit that sometimes I use raw honey
in baking. Partly because it’s there in
my cupboard, and partly because it’s
usually for gentle baking, and so my
hope is that not all of these amazing
super nutrients are destroyed. Some
wouldprefertousecheaperpasteurised
honey here rather than waste the ‘good
stuff’, but I like to think that my gently
baked raw honey is still more nutrient-
rich.
(Incidentally, you don’t have to spend
a fortune on imported Manuka honey
- most local honeys are raw and
considerably cheaper. I pay about a fiver
a pot, and it will last me a few months.)
At other times, I use blackstrap
molasses, which is essentially the
goodness stripped from cane sugar
when they make white sugar. It’s
sticky, rich and dark and is steeped in
bone strengthening, blood building,
brain, liver and heart feeding minerals.
Another option is to use fruit in baking,
both dried and fresh. I would always
choose whole fruit over fruit juice or fruit
syrup, as the fibre helps to slow down
the rush of fructose into the body, and
so is less likely to affect insulin pathways
and contribute to inflammation. My
favourite flapjack recipe uses a mixture
of molasses and spiced fruit - and is
utterly delicious!

Dear Kirsten,
I’ve heard that it’s best not to heat or
cook with raw honey as it damages
some of the nutrients, is this

Whether it’s family fun or a
fancy evening drink, The
Stoneham Pub Pizzeria in
Hove is suited perfectly for
both, as Daniel White finds
out…
When The Stoneham Pub opened its doors in 2010 I was
eagerly anticipating what was to come. Having visited its
previous establishment, The Portland, on occasions, I was
intrigued to see how it would be transformed.
WhatWhat took its place was, like all Martin Webb-owned pubs and
eateries, a stylish yet inclusive venue, which had an open fire,
good food and proper ales on tap. So when I was invited
along to try out their menu I jumped at the chance.
II took along my dear mother and knew I had chosen wisely
when we strolled into the pub, which seems practically made
for families. As you enter there are kids running to and from
the garden, families eating meals together, Motown on the
speakers and a very warm feel all-round. There’s even an ice
cream counter to keep the kids happy.
I must admit now, after a night of poker, pizza and lots of wine
the night before, I was a little worried as I walked through the
doors that I wouldn’t be able to make the most of the food we
would be ordering.
However,However, after picking our sauvignon blanc my fears were
soon put to bed. Even though it was a busy Friday night we
found a quiet corner in the restaurant and started to catch up
on the last few weeks of happenings.
AfterAfter some serious selection dilemmas we began with the
Stoneham Mussels (£6.95) with Somerset sauce (cider, bacon
and cream) and the Aglio Mozzarella (£6), which came with a
salad and black olives for starters. The mussels came with a
little salad and a chunk of crusty bread which, when dipped in
the Somerset sauce, took me straight back to sitting on the
bay of Port d’Alcudia in Mallorca. They were so flavoursome
thatthat I had forgotten all concerns for my stomach’s earlier
doubts, eating every last one.

Tel: 01273 383840
Despite the tempting smell drifting out from the newly built
smokehouse, for the main courses we chose the Grilled
Halloumi Burger, which was packed with ﬂavour, as it was
served with grilled aubergine, onion rings and guacamole
(£13), along with the Chorizo and Tiger Prawn pizza with
roquito peppers (£14). The pub and pizzeria has become
renownedrenowned for its selection of pizzas, which come served on a
wooden board with rocket salad and Grana Pagano cheese on
top. It tasted as good as it sounds.
At this point I must point out that the portions at The
StonehamStoneham are sizeable. One main course would have been
enough for myself but, as the stellar pro I am, I took one for the
team and ordered a pudding as well. I had the Black cherry
and vanilla cheesecake (£5.50), which was served with fresh
fruit and chocolate sauce. It was pure decadent bliss and was
worth the trip alone.
AsAs the day’s light expired there was an obvious shift from the
family-centric funhouse that we had entered to a more mature
clientele, where men stood at the bar drinking and excited
children were replaced by, well, excited thirty-something’s.
Although we chose indoors, the enclosed garden also offers a
lovely spot to sit in the sun and, with heaters and covered
benches, it is still a comfortable choice come winter time.
When we left the pub at around 9.30pm, it was alive with music
and chatter of the week’s goings on, my stomach was in a much
happier place and while the audience had changed, the
welcoming,welcoming, family vibe was still present among the laughter and
enjoyment that had overtaken the venue.

Whilst the hordes are taking to the
beach and seafront for their, ahem, lengthy
British summer, you’re going to be finding us
basking in the hidden treasure that is Terre a
Terre’s terrace garden…
For those of you who don’t know what Terre a Terre is,
we’re going to have a little reminder. Firstly, it’s an amazing
restaurant with utterly stunning food. Secondly – it’s a
vegetarian restaurant. And it’s important
you get that in the right order. This is
vegetarianism that’s much more about
indulgence than abstinence, and the
food comes first. It doesn’t matter a bit
that there’s no meat in it.
For those of you who are already
familiar with the gourmet delights of
this place, did you know Terre a Terre
had a garden out the back? It’s a bit
unexpected, as the restaurant is in
one of those closely-knit roads in the
centre of Brighton where you can hardly
even fit on the pavement – but look!
There is it! Not only an outdoor space
in a busy metropolis, but one that gets
the sun too.
“It’s an absolute sun trap,” says TaT’s commercial manager
Olivia Reid, “and it’s open seven days a week. We’re just
getting stuck into our summer menu now and it’s a perfect
location to sit and enjoy a cocktail, or some food, or just a glass
of wine. In the peace and quiet!”
This summer sees a really sexy menu coming our way, with
tapas plates and afternoon bites, a light dinner menu or
brunch; Olivia explains that their key influences are fresh
summery flavours; asparagus, light greens and summer
vegetables, citrus, pickles, cheesy
soufflés and smoky stofu, but also still
offering our very popular Big Bamboo
Steamers, which have steamed rice buns
stuffed with some amazing ingredients
(see below). We also have a licence so
you can just come in for a glass of one of
our amazing organic wines – or have tea
and something sweet.”
‘Something sweet’ includes stuff like
Summer Pudding, or the Raspberry
Spring Thyme Berry Berry Nice which is
caramelised mille feuille puff pastry with
lemon thyme vanilla crème, fresh English
raspberries and lemon curd, raspberry
white chocolate crumb and medlar,
rosehip and elderflower honey. Yeah.
Finally, we want to mention the mocktails
– something that’s sorely under-explored
in so many venues. Non-alcoholic
drinks featuring English summer fruits,
berries, elderflower, gingers, lychees
and pomegranates fill a good section
of the drinks menu – but don’t worry,
there’s plenty with a few shots in too if
you prefer!
