Great British Menu star suddenly closes city centre restaurant after just 18 months as chef issues sombre warning
The owners blamed rising costs and taxes for the sudden closure SHUTTERS DOWN Great British Menu star suddenly closes city centre restaurant after just 18 months as chef issues sombre warning Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TRENDY restaurant in the heart of Manchester is closing down just 15 months after first opening its doors to punters. Medlock Canteen in Deansgate was co-founded by Great British Menu star Sam Grainger and first launched in March last year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Sam Grainger starred in Great British Menu Credit: BBC 3 His latest restaurant, Medlock Canteen, is closing down Credit: Medlock Canteen Its owners announced the sad of social media, saying there were too many factors at play that would allow the restaurant to stay open any longer. The restaurant was a fusion of a French bistro and American diner that served bottomless coffees and chicken rotisserie among many other delectable items. "With heavy hearts, we're announcing the closure of Medlock Canteen," the restaurant began in a statement posted to Instagram. "When we opened our doors 18 months ago, our dream was simple: to build a neighbourhood spot where everyone felt welcome, serving proper good food you know, love and can't wait to eat." The statement continued: "But the current climate has made that dream a tough one to sustain. Rising costs, increased taxes, and tighter spending have created challenges we've fought hard to overcome but, sadly, they're ones we just can't compete with. "We're proud to say our amazing team has been looked after, with payroll up to date and everyone offered roles elsewhere in our family of venues. "If you've got opportunities going, drop us a message - we'd love to pass them on to anyone ready for their next chapter." The restaurant's three owners concluded: "To everyone who dined, left us a rave review, shared a laugh, or came back for seconds: thank you. You made this little place feel truly special. "And yes, we promise, one day, somehow, we'll get that rhubarb pie back to you! Chris, Owain and Sam x." The three restaurateurs then offered anyone left in the lurch without a booking at the sudden closure of Medlock Canteen a 20 percent discount at their other eateries, Madre, Salon and Winsome. Sam, who hails from Liverpool, first fell in love with food thanks to his West Indian grandfather. He then travelled around the world to hone his skills as a cook, including a stint in Australia and Asia. Sam also owns the restaurant Belzan, which is his flagship eatery in Liverpool, a street food Mexican joint called Escape to Freight Island in Manchester and Madre an authentic Mexican taqueria in the Royal Albert Dock.

Kim Woodburn's top cleaning tips - including '10 minutes a day'
TV star sadly died following a short illness aged 83, with the cleaning legend sharing her top tips on the Channel 4 show 'How Clean is Your House?' TV's tough-talking queen of clean, Kim Woodburn, famed for her role on Channel 4's 'How Clean is Your House?', has died aged 83 after a short illness. Alongside Aggie MacKenzie, she became well-known for scolding the proprietors of grubby residences with sharp wit and tough love. With her trademark plaited bun and no-nonsense attitude, Kim garnered legions of fans and shared invaluable cleaning advice for keeping homes spotless. Kim passed away following a brief illness, an announcement by her representative confirmed, and together with MacKenzie, she brought order to chaotic homes on their hit show, dispensing nuggets of wisdom throughout, reports the Express. Her former co-host reflected: "Kim was a tormented soul, but now she's finally at peace. We clashed often. Behind the fierce persona was deep pain and incredible strength. She survived because she had to. I hope she's resting now. She was an unforgettable woman." 'How Clean is Your House', which aired from 2003 to 2009, opened doors to literary and endorsement deals, and saw Kim appear in various reality TV series. In 2017, Woodburn entered the Celebrity Big Brother house and recently featured in E4's 'Celebrity Cooking School' in 2022. Confirming her passing, her manager said: "It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved Kim Woodburn passed away yesterday following a short illness. Five cleaning tips in memory of the scrubbing sensation: Opt for the natural approach. She championed natural cleaning methods, and instead of using harsh chemicals she uses kitchen staples like baking soda and white vinegar. These items became synonymous with her advice over the years, thanks to their skin-friendly properties and less abrasive nature for domestic cleaning. Just 10 minutes every day. In a 2022 interview, the Queen of Clean emphasised the importance of daily maintenance to prevent your home from ending up like the ones on the telly: "10 minutes every day and you can keep everything manageable". She advocated for a 'little and often' routine, urging folk to dedicate just ten minutes a day or alternatively to "clean as you go". Focus on the kitchen. Woodburn stated that instant attention to messes and regular wiping of appliances is crucial in the kitchen. She particularly stressed wiping down the inside of your fridge every two months using a rag moistened with warm water and bicarb soda. "When you start going over that timeframe, by God, you're asking for trouble," she stated. Besides disposing of leftover food, it's crucial to carry out these cleaning tasks to prevent drawing flies or even worse – attracting the attention of pets. Opt for a damp duster. This technique captures dust effectively and prevents it from scattering throughout your dwelling. Once finished, let it air dry and then give it a good shake outside or toss any collected debris into the rubbish bin. Lay down the rules when having a party. In regards to throwing a house party, Woodburn's advice was succinct: simply don't have one. To her, a gathering signified nothing but dirty troublemakers causing chaos in her cleansed space. Nonetheless, if you chose to overlook her cautionary words and proceeded with your plans, her directive remained straightforward. Before the festivities commence, declare: "This is what's going to happen. I love you, but if you're not willing to adhere to these rules, mate, you can't come."

Kneecap fans raise £20k for legal battle amid terror charge
Liam Og O hAnnaidh, stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in November last year. Yesterday, the trio were cheered by hundreds of supporters as they arrived in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. Dozens surged around the entrance of the court building as they made their way inside, with some also entering the lobby before the hearing, trying to get close to the Belfast trio. READ MORE: 'Israel has weaponised food': IDF kill 72 Palestinians, 29 waiting for aid trucks O hAnnaidh was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. At the time of writing, more than £20,000 has been raised from 819 pledges. Organisers have set a target of raising £30,000 on CrowdJustice, which the campaign states 'will help cover legal fees and experts skilled in handling complex cases sensitive to artistic and free speech rights'. The CrowdJustice page states: "Kneecap's music and performances are premised on satire and absurdity. They are by their very existence bold and provocative, prompting necessary conversations around political and social issues. "The charges brought against him could set a chilling precedent that stifles creative freedom and dissuades artists from speaking out. Your support will help cover legal fees and experts skilled in handling complex cases sensitive to artistic and free speech rights." The trio are due to perform at festivals in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Hungary, Wales, Belgium and France, as well putting in a support slot at a high-profile show by Irish band Fontaines DC in Manchester, festivals in Europe in September, and a mostly sold-out American tour in autumn. The band were axed from Scotland's TRNSMT amid concerns raised by police over safety. They were due to perform at the festival on July 11 but organisers said the band would not be part of the line-up after concerns were expressed by police about safety at the event. Police Scotland said any decision on the line-up is for TRNSMT organisers, and that no prior consultation with the force was made before acts were booked.
