Olympics legend Denise Lewis and Denise Van Outen join stars at The Grove for landmark event celebrating women's golf
The Grove, one of the UK's most prestigious golfing destinations, hosted a landmark event last week aimed at celebrating and elevating women's golf. The exclusive gathering, titled 'Fore! The Women's Game', welcomed a host of famous faces from the worlds of sport, lifestyle and entertainment for a day dedicated to elevating female golf and expanding its reach to new audiences. Guests included Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis, fellow Olympian Goldie Sayers and actress and presenter Denise Van Outen, along with a number of leading female content creators and athletes. While the group enjoyed time out on the course, the focus of the day was much bigger than the leaderboard. Van Outen hailed the event as a powerful moment for the women's game, saying: 'It has been an incredible day at The Grove, not just enjoying the game but being surrounded by so many inspiring women who are moving golf forward. 'The Grove has created an environment where women's golf continues to be elevated, and events like this are so important in showing what's possible when inclusion and ambition come together.' The event is just the latest move by The Grove, based in Hertfordshire, to champion gender equality in golf. The resort is a proud signatory of The R&A's Women in Golf Charter, which aims to create a more inclusive culture within the sport worldwide. Back in 2023, The Grove hosted the Rose Ladies Series Finale, created by former US open champions Justin Rose and and his wife Kate, to give female professionals more high profile playing opportunities. The venue has also made a point of building a strong and visible female workforce across its operation. Anna Darnell, General Manager at The Grove, added: 'Seeing such a dynamic group of women come together at The Grove for 'Fore! The Women's Game' has been truly inspiring. 'From content creators to sporting icons, each attendee brought energy, insight, and a shared passion for driving progress in golf. Events like this are vital in not only celebrating how far the women's game has come but also in shaping an inclusive and exciting future for the next generation. 'At The Grove, we remain committed to championing equality and creating opportunities for women to thrive at every level of the sport.'

Beaumaris' 'Deli Dydd' has launched - and it's great!
Anglesey is full of little hidden gems in that respect and the latest to officially open on the island over the weekend was 'Deli Dydd'. Based in Beaumaris, it is part of 'The Grove' restaurant which is opening in the coming weeks, in the former Tredici's site. My wife and I were heading over to the other side of the island to spend some time with my family as it was my dad's birthday. And, on the way we noticed that the deli was now up and running as of that very day. Among the hustle and bustle of a busy summertime Beaumaris was this quietly brilliant new business on Castle Street. It was stocked with plenty of treats to enjoy, from pastries to jacket potatoes and 'hotboxes', which I had been eyeing up, but as it was early morning I opted for a sandwich. They offer 'make your own' sandwiches for which you can choose your fillings, as well as a range of different breads including Focaccia. My salami and cheese sandwich. (Image: Newsquest) My wife went for the ham and cheese on bloomer bread, while I went for the slightly more unconventional salami and cheese, again on a bloomer bread. For a quick snack, I have to say that we both thought it was delicious, and cost us £3.90 each. My wife, who is a huge Starbucks fan, also had a hot chocolate (£3.50), which she was left impressed by. There are, of course, plenty of other drinks on offer there including Matcha options, which are proving popular in the UK right now. TOP STORIES TODAY The next day, I was back in Beaumaris with my one-and-a-half-year-old son, as we took a stroll along the pier. And, yep, you guessed it - we returned to Deli Dydd, this time to try out one of their hotboxes which had already proven popular according to staff. In fact, I myself spotted plenty of people dotted around the town enjoying tucking into them. You can choose from a range of main ingredients like beef brisket and chicken schnitzel to be accompanied by two sides for £9.95. The wonderful hotbox I enjoyed at Deli Dydd in Beaumaris. (Image: Newsquest) I went for the chicken, with vegetables, feta cheese and sweet potato fries and it was absolutely brilliant. The flavours blended together really well and there was enough in the bowl to make you feel full afterwards too. Staff at the deli were very friendly, despite being rushed off their feet with orders coming in thick and fast. So, Beaumaris has yet another culinary gem to add to its ever-growing ranks it seems. And with the neighbouring The Grove restaurant opening soon, there is still much more to look forward to in the town.

Previous guests have included cast members of Harry Potter - as 'The Making of Harry Potter' is nearby at Leavesden Studios - and Barack Obama during a presidential visit with Prime Minister David Cameron. It isn't only prestigious guests the resort is used to - there have also been a number of notable events at The Grove. 9 The Grove Hotel went viral for one of it's restaurants THE Sun's assistant travel editor Sophie Swietochowski experienced the buffet last year - here's what she thought. As The Sun travel desk's resident foodie, I could hardly resist trying the UK's fanciest buffet, also one of the world's most expensive. The Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire went viral earlier last year when TikTok foodies discovered its Glasshouse restaurant where everyone dines en masse, but in five-star luxury. It even featured in Netflix's 'Million Dollar Buffet' documentary with Grace Dent. Costing a whopping £82 per person at the weekend, there is certainly enough to choose from. After several, overly-generous spoonfuls of caviar, a few servings of beetroot-cured salmon and seven superbly crafted sushi rolls, decorated with dainty herbs, I felt I'd made a good dent in 'getting my money's worth' – a statement that had been thrown back and forth between my buffet partner, Mum, and I. So the real question is: is it really worth the cash? It's a thought that's difficult to get out of my head, even though, as a self-proclaimed foodie, I'd normally spend at least this amount on a boozy dinner with friends. But £82 does feel like a lot for what I'd previously have defined as 'just a buffet'. Although, if you visit for dinner mid-week, as opposed to the weekend, you can knock £17 off this price. I'd planned what I thought was an adequate two and a half hours to properly tackle that evening's dinner, but an extra hour would have been more appropriate if I wanted to take it at a more relaxed pace – and squeeze in an extra few hundred calories. Isn't that what buffet dining is all about? Still, despite the steep price, I think I'll be booking a table for my birthday next year – and this time I'm aiming for five plates instead of four. 9 These include NATO's 70th annual meeting. And for the final of the UEFA Euros, the England National Football Team stayed at the hotel. In 2023, the resort celebrated 20 years since it opened and also received a plethora of awards. The Grove also revealed its newly renovated Sequoia spa after a £1.6million refurbishment. There is a posh UK spa hotel praised by mums as perfect for kids – thanks to an Ofsted creche, huge playbarn and early teatime. Plus, the English hotel with one of the UK's poshest spas … but it's only for dogs. 9
