Fancy pasta and takeaway classics on offer as new restaurant opens doors

Fancy pasta and takeaway classics on offer as new restaurant opens doors

Yahoo4 days ago
A Derbyshire high street has welcomed a new addition to its roster of shops that will offer a rare combination of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. South Derbyshire's Newhall has plenty to shout about when it comes to restaurants and takeaways, and its latest exploit is sure to go down a treat with locals.
The Grill at 7-9 High Street held a grand opening earlier this week and replaces the longstanding 'Golden Fish' fish and chip shop, which recently closed its doors after more than a decade in the village.
At The Grill, customers will be able to dine in, collect, or have food delivered, ranging from skewers and audacious sides to pasta dishes and wraps.

Its pasta dishes include Bolognese, carbonara, frutti di mare and risotto, sure to pair nicely with sides such as salt and pepper squid, garlic mushrooms and Greek savoury pastries. For those fancying something a little more Middle Eastern, and potentially with more of a kick, The Grill also stocks chicken tikka shish, lamb kofte skewers and lamb and chicken doner wraps.
Kids can also order a selection of smaller pasta dishes, as well as chicken nuggets and doner meat.
A spokesperson for The Grill said: "We believe food should be an experience — that's why every visit to The Grill is about more than just a meal.
"Our passion is in the details: warm hospitality, vibrant dishes, and an atmosphere that invites you to relax, indulge, and leave happy. Whether you're dining with family, friends, or flying solo, we make sure every bite feels like it's made just for you — always fresh, always with love.
"From juicy shawarma and sizzling skewers to hearty wraps and fresh salads, our menu celebrates the rich, diverse flavours of the Mediterranean and Middle East. Each plate is prepared with authentic spices, fresh ingredients, and that signature smoky finish straight from the grill.
"Come hungry and savour the warmth — every meal is served hot, made to order, and crafted to satisfy."
The restaurant is now taking deliveries, collections and table bookings and is open from 12pm to 10pm on Mondays and Wednesdays (closed Tuesdays), from 12pm to 10.30pm on Thursdays, from 12pm to 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 4pm to 10pm on Sundays.

The New York Hospitality Group You May Not Know But Should

As a global dining capital, New York is home to several big-name hospitality brands that we all know and love. We frequent their establishments, clamor to get in, and post about them on social media when we do. Then there are the under-the-radar gem brands. We may not recognize their names, but the enduring success of the restaurants and bars speaks to the powerhouses they are. Neighborhood Projects Restaurant Group is a shining example and a brand I recently discovered. I wish I were on to their places sooner. I've tried two of their spots, Tiny's & the Bar Upstairs, and Yves, both in Tribeca, and am excited to try their others: Smith & Mills, also in tribeca, & The Golden Swan, in Greenwich Village, the most high-end and glamorous of them all. Tiny's and Yves were welcoming with their relaxed vibes and warm service. The food was delicious, and the menus at both looks so good that I'm looking forward to return visits to try more dishes. Lifelong New Yorker Matt Abramcyk is behind the brand and says he set out to connect the Tribeca community through a diverse range of intimate concepts. I caught up with him to learn more about his vision, his views on the city's ever-changing restaurant world, and the must-tries at each of his me about yourself. What's your background, and how did you get into the restaurant and bar world? After studying business at NYU, I set out to gain experience working for other people. I knew I wanted to be in a business environment but couldn't land on which industry. I tried Late-Night television and Wall Street, but my preoccupation with the importance of physical space always occupied my recurring thoughts. I would constantly art-direct the mood, raising or lowering the lighting, to reimagine the aspirational Eden of an environment. This kept bringing me back to downtown New York, my truest, all-time inspiration. After some flailing, I wound up in a position to take on a 90-year-old restaurant in my favorite neighborhood at the time, alongside people I thought could help create something unique, irreverent, and comforting all at once, we opened Beatrice Inn on Halloween night 2006 with Courtney Love hosting for V Magazine. Rogan Gregory came in as the Grim Reaper and couldn't fit through the door. I knew then that both he and I had come to the right place. I didn't know it yet, of course, but my life—my career—was off to the races! You have several concepts- can you briefly explain each and how they are unique? Neighborhood Projects has developed 23 separate concepts over the past two decades, from New York to the United Kingdom. Many times, the concepts we've created were on behalf of real estate sponsors, designed to foster community within a portfolio property, or to build some aspirational Eden for people (like me) who are addicted to creating one-of-a-kind experiences, just to see how community develops and what kind of arc the story reveals. We always shape our projects around the needs of the community in the neighborhood we're in, whether that's menu-driven, meal-period specific, or inspired by an employee, chef, or partner with a clear vision that simply must be realized (and inspires the entire group). What was the core inspiration behind opening your first restaurant? How did that initial vision evolve into the group you have today? Tiny's was the first full-fledged restaurant we opened. It was meant to be a family production, and to a great extent, it was. We developed the cutest 16-foot-wide, 250-year-old carriage house you could ever find (actually on the National Historical Register) into a cozy, somewhat contemporary version of a restaurant and bar scene straight out of 'Gangs of New York' film. We played with the color pink and scale inspired by a William Steig book my brother, sister, and I were read by our father growing up, 'Pink and Yellow.' At that time, my team had expanded to include several of the core Rangers from the early aughts. It was a provocative mix of New York family (team). We found a superior chef who had run the JG SWAT team, and he filled our menus with exactly what yielded comfort (and quality) for our Tribeca family. Today we build businesses with the same directives, bringing in great partners and expanding the family to include something new and interesting for our team and community. We've always practiced the same religion: treating people as we wish to be treated and aiming to deliver happiness, if not satisfaction, every time. How has the downtown dining scene changed since you opened your first restaurant, and how has your group adapted to these changes? Everything shifted after Covid. Comfort food never went away, but now it's become something more pulp—thanks to social media and the smartphone. The dining scene used to be a place where New York's creative community gathered in person, and you could feel that energy in the room. Today, the creative scene has scattered; even in the city's most iconic spaces, it's not as visible. People don't really care where creative ideas come from anymore—they evolve out of nowhere, often copied from a picture on Instagram. Maybe that's because Instagram has replaced the magic of being in close proximity to the world's most inspiring people—that spark that inspired me throughout my career. Now, you're more likely to see a table of ten with one bright-star creative replaced by one person having lunch with visitors from Connecticut. Didn't you know? These days, everybody's an Instagram Star! Your restaurants are always packed. What's the secret sauce that has enabled your group to grow and thrive despite the challenges of the restaurant industry? Our group has grown on the backs of many hard-working, kindred spirits who share a common vision (and empathy trait): the unspoken belief that while we are in the venue working together, we are more complete than we are when we're alone, and that we will not be the ones to fail our human partners in this life experiment, mumbo-jumbo thingamajig. We are a passionate, committed, and inspired team. Your dining concepts are diverse, from French influences at Yves and The Golden Swan to American at Tiny's and Smith & Mills. Is there a thread that ties them together or an overall definition of your cuisine? From the outside, the ingredients that run through all of our restaurants are a deep reverence for nostalgia, with two helpings of character and half a helping each of texture and color. I view the restaurants, bars, and clubs more as creative vignettes; vignettes we can uncover and retell time and again. All are inspired by New York dreams and memories, the stories of high and low. We only change the tile, the menu, or the lighting depending on the location and type of building. Our projects are meant to be both whimsical and of high integrity in the sense that the vision should be shared and understood empirically by meal's end. Quality, empathy, and learning are all key ingredients of the recipe. (I think.) So is crashing into a wall once in a while. If a first-time customer were to visit each of your restaurants and bars, what single dish or drink would you recommend as a must-try that best represents the concept? Always, always, always—grab that last barstool, take a load off, order a martini (the way Bobby D used to), then pretend to need to look at the menu for a minute before ordering your steak (how you like it) and potato of choice (nay, fries), paired with an appropriate glass of bigger-bodied red. Take a deep breath, know that you've made it, then feel that you've made it. Then breathe. You're in New York—your dreams await… go get 'em, kid!!! But in all seriousness, below are my must-trys: What's coming up next for your group I'm very honored and excited to be working on the launch of my very first New York City hotel, complete with a nightclub, rooftop bar, and café. The project literally fell out of the sky, as the property is located on my favorite block in New York City. See you in the New Year at The Freeman Hotel.

Vontier (VNT) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

What Happened? Shares of electronic equipment provider Vontier (NYSE:VNT) jumped 3.3% in the afternoon session after its subsidiary Teletrac Navman announced it is deploying next-generation AI-enabled Smart Dashcams to boost safety for the Canal & River Trust's fleet. The deployment of these AI-enabled Smart Dashcams is for the Canal & River Trust, a charity responsible for managing waterways in England and Wales. This initiative is designed to enhance safety and driver wellbeing through investments in new technology. The news builds on recent positive momentum for the company, which reported strong second-quarter results in late July, beating analyst estimates and raising its full-year earnings guidance. This solid performance prompted several analysts to upgrade the stock or raise their price targets in early August, contributing to a consensus "Moderate Buy" rating from Wall Street, signaling growing confidence in Vontier's business trajectory. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $41.82, up 3.6% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Vontier? Access our full analysis report here, it's free.

It's 420 Somewhere: Aurora Cannabis Sparks Up the Top Line

Download the Complete Report Here By Rayk Riechmann Another impressive top-line beat by Aurora Cannabis Inc. (Nasdaq: ACB) should have investors fired up. The company reported a 17% revenue increase in its first fiscal quarter, mostly driven by a strong performance in the Global Medical Cannabis Market. ACB continues to outperform in key European markets with higher sales in Germany, Poland, and the UK. Poland, after facing some regulatory headwinds in the past, is now back on track and can't get enough of the ACB high-potency medical products. While gross margins improved for medical cannabis and consumer cannabis segments, elevated SG&A costs led to a decrease in net income. Many of these expenses look temporary and related to the integration of recently-acquired MedReleaf Australia. Management has also reiterated that EBITDA is expected to grow in the near-term with increasing operational efficiencies and a higher-margin sales mix. Of course, some variable costs will rise with increased sales, but we expect profitability to improve in coming quarters. ACB is differentiated in the industry by free cash flow generation and an strong balance sheet. Notably, all cannabis operations are run completely debt-free and ACB maintains C$186 million in cash and cash equivalents. And the last puff: ACB still trades at a discount compared to peers on an EV/EBITDA multiple and its own 3-year mean price/sales multiple.
