"Thornbridge is a famous brewery located near Bakewell- it’s so well known that we once found it in a bar in Iceland!.

These, such as the Bath Hotel, are great places to try their tipple."

"Brampton Brewery was once a tour de force of beer brewing on a massive scale, a status that lasted 130 years but was sadly forced to stop it’s production in the 1950s. Luckily back in 2007 the dream to bring Brampton Brewery back to it’s former glory (or at least create a tribute to it) was realised and a micro-brewery was created!. Today Brampton have a great selection of delicious (and award-winning) brews."

"Brampton Brewery serves rich ales with an even richer history. Reinvented and revitalised from what was once a powerhouse of beer making, Brampton Brewery once produced 30,000 gallons of beer a week but stopped producing in the 1950s. So, for almost half a century, the Brampton Brewery name slipped further and further into history, until 2007 when it was revivified!"

"The Boot, is a 17th century Coaching Inn, in the historic village of Repton, Derbyshire. Dating back to 1649, it is thought The Boot’s original owner was a cobbler who hung an old boot outside the premises to let everyone know what he did and where he was and, whilst mending footwear, would offer customers ale and hospitality. Hospitality soon developed into offering places to sleep, which, thanks to the popularity of Repton, was quickly extended to the passing coach trade on routes cross country through Mercia."

"Indian restaurants are brilliant for vegans - just make sure the veggie dishes don't have cream in the sauce. Tamatanga has a separate vegan menu so there's no mix-up. There's curry bowls (tarka daal, saag aloo, chickpea amongst them) served with rice and plain naan, thalis, chaat and biryani bowls to choose from at the contemporary-style eatery at The Cornerhouse."

"A post shared by tamatanga (@tamatanga) on Mar 21, 2017 at 2:48am PDT. Some days just call for a curry, and on those days you need to make sure it's a tamatanga. This is a firm favourite among the foodies of Nottingham, and it's all down to its authentic Indian dishes, crowd-pleasing classics like Butter Chicken, and fragrant Biryani."

"Positive vibes shine through in Tamatanga’s funky murals, fun dishes and friendly faces. This relaxed restaurant is big on the community vibe: think large tables full of locally sourced Indian dishes and thalis."
