Croissant candles and baguette bags in Cote's first ever home collection
The restaurant has teamed up with La Redoute to create 12 new items
Côte Brasserie is launching its first-ever homewares collection, created in partnership with French lifestyle brand La Redoute Interieurs. The announcement comes as Côte also reveals its latest seasonally inspired Spring Specials in restaurants and with Côte at Home.
There are 12 pieces, split into two ranges: The Breakfast Collection and Le Marché Collection - from croissant-print tote bags and breakfast candles to table linens inspired by the colours of seasonal produce.

Steve Allen, Côte's Executive Chef – and former Executive Chef for Gordon Ramsay – has also crafted a new Spring Specials menu to accompany the launch. Dishes include wild garlic French toast, beetroot-cured smoked salmon, and slow-roasted lamb shank Navarin, finished with a Gariguette strawberry trifle.

Steve said: 'At Côte, we believe food should be shared and celebrated. This spring, we've taken that idea one step further, not only with our inspired new menus, but by creating beautiful products that let our guests recreate the Côte experience at home. From your morning croissant to your evening dinner party, these pieces bring a little French joy to every moment.'
Sarah Link, Marketing Director at La Redoute Interieurs, said: 'The Côte x La Redoute Interieurs collection brings the essence of French dining and living directly to your home. For those who find inspiration in bustling markets and patisseries, these products allow you to bring that magic into everyday life.'

UK ‘party island' home to Victorian FORT, rooftop bar & panoramic seaside views hits the market

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A UK island complete with a five-bedroom home has hit the market for an eye-watering fee. The private patch of land also boasts a helipad and rooftop bar and was historically used to repel a French invasion. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Thorne Island has its own fort Credit: Strutt and Parker 5 It is on the market for £3million Credit: Strutt and Parker 5 The property boasts underfloor heating and mezzanine bedrooms Credit: Strutt and Parker The property - a Grade II listed 19th-century fort - is located off the coast of Pembrokeshire and it could be yours for £3million. But buyers will be rewarded with an eye-catching place to call home. It boasts underfloor heating, mezzanine bedrooms, a sea-view office, and a 10-metre hydraulic crane for lifting boats and supplies and has been listed by estate agency Strutt & Parker. "Thorne Island has been a landmark for hundreds of years," the listing reads. "The fort forming part of the Island was constructed between 1852 and 1854 as an outer defence to Milford Haven, at that time a large naval base. "It is one of twelve forts that were constructed around the entrance to Pembroke Dock as part of 'Palmerston's Haven defences' to protect against Napoleonic invasion. "The Island was sold for the first time in 1932 and has since been a hotel and a family home. "Thorne Island is a fantastic coastal landmark now offering something very different." The island sits a short three mile by sea from Milford Haven in south-west Wales. It can be reached either by boat or helicopter depending on your budget. I'm being forced to tear down my loft conversion - my neighbours call it a 'monstrosity' but I'm going to fight back The listing adds: 'Upon entering the property through the historic entrance gates, you are welcomed into [the] entrance hall leading into the large open plan reception, dining and sitting room with exposed traditional brickwork, vaulted ceilings, double aspect sash windows and wood burning stove. 'The kitchen is open plan with a modern, equipped kitchen and adjoining snug with wood-burning stove, exposed brick work and sea views.' 'Outside is a courtyard laid to lawn, providing a sheltered entertaining space with adjoining storage rooms. "Steps lead to the elevated grounds of the island which is home to the helipad and roof-top bar with inbuilt bar and games room.' The property's current owner, Mile Conner, bought the island in 2017, after watching a video about it. He has mostly used the island for parties, and told Bloomberg: "Thorne's been a great stress reliever. "It's just somewhere to go on boats and play with a crane and generators and fix stuff." If Thorne Island is out of your budget, then a picturesque private island off the coast of the UK is also available to buy - and it's just £108,000. The stunning Irish Islands of Dunnyneill, located on Strangford Lough, are home to range of gorgeous flora and fauna. Surrounded by blue waters and coated in lush greenery, the islands are located just 2.5 kilometres off the coast of Killyleagh, Ireland. Comprised of two islands, it was once a former seventh century trading emporium frequented by merchants. Owning the islands gives you the chance to buy a piece of history, as merchants from Russia, Germany, Iceland and France used to visit the island. The main island is described as being "formed from a small drumlin with a boulder clay core." 5 The island can be reached by helicopter or boat Credit: Strutt and Parker

Edinburgh Airport vows improvements following complaints

One of the UK's busiest airports and Scotland's main gateway for international tourists, Edinburgh Airport has received criticism over its supposedly drab interior and 'unacceptable' delays at immigration controls. Bosses at the airport have stressed that they are investing heavily in its infrastructure as they are welcoming more passengers than ever before, with a record 62,458 people traveling through the transport hub on July 11. The airport expects to spend about £90 million this year on various capital projects, up from £52m in 2024, with some of that money going towards overhauling the terminal, according to the Times. READ MORE: John Swinney interview: The FM on indyref2, Israel, energy and more Ken McNab, who heads the Travel Company Edinburgh and In2Scotland, raised concerns to the Edinburgh Airport Consultative Committee (EACC) about what he called the 'corrugated iron and wire' appearance of the arrivals building. Along with the interior giving visitors a negative experience, McNab also raised concerns about 'unacceptable' delays after flights land At the EACC meeting, Gordon Robertson, the airport's chief communications and sustainability officer, acknowledged McNab's concerns but suggested the number of passengers with negative experiences is in the minority. He said: 'Scots feel proud about Edinburgh and I know some of this makes them feel less proud, but generally it is not the experience of the majority.' Robertson described the arrivals area as a 'functional hall' but did confirm the issues about its appearance and reportedly said it was being considered as part of plans for the wider redevelopment of the terminal. The arrivals hall is controlled by the UK Border Force, meaning the airport will have to work with the agency on any changes. In July, the airport lifted its 100ml liquids restriction for the first time since it was introduced almost 20 years following the installation of top-of-the-range security x-ray technology. Eight new X-rays were installed as part of a £24m investment "to transform the security process at the airport". In April last year, the French conglomerate, Vinci Airports, took a 50.01% stake in Edinburgh Airport for £1.27 billion. At the time, Vinci said it would continue improving customers' experience as one of the key areas it would work on at the airport.

Poland's BNP Paribas BP beats profit expectations in Q2

GDANSK, Aug 12 (Reuters) - The Polish unit of BNP Paribas ( opens new tab reported a second-quarter net profit of 733.8 million zlotys ($200.4 million) on Tuesday, beating a company-provided consensus of 642 million zlotys, mirroring an upbeat release from its French parent in July. The result was driven by a rise in net interest income and lower administrative costs, which helped offset an increase in credit loss provisions and higher legal costs related to its Swiss franc loan portfolio. More than 81% of BNP Paribas Bank Polska's ( opens new tab shares are owned by the French financial group. The largest bank in the euro zone by assets last month forecast a strong rebound in its retail banking division for the second half of 2025, soothing investor concerns with tight cost control and a smaller-than-expected drop in quarterly profit. Like other Polish lenders, BNP Paribas Polska continues to face legal costs related to its portfolio of legacy mortgage loans denominated in Swiss francs, which were taken out before a surge in the franc's value inflated repayments. The Polish bank's net interest income was 1.47 billion zlotys in the second quarter, against a market forecast of 1.49 billion zlotys. Net fee and commission income was 328.1 million zlotys, compared to the 319 million zlotys expected by analysts. Allowances for expected credit losses stood at 18.2 million zlotys in the same period. It booked 249.4 million zlotys in provisions to cover the risk on Swiss franc loans, compared to a 189.8 million last year. ($1 = 3.6613 zlotys)
