CHARLIE HICKS SUPPLIER SUPPER - JULY 2

We're very excited to be hosting a Supplier Supper next week with veritable veg king Charlie Hicks. Louise McCrimmon, our award-winning Head Chef, will showcase some of the finest produce from Charlie and his team with a stunning four-course menu bursting with summer flavours.

 

With an extensive knowledge of all things fruit and veg, Charlie has been a greengrocer all his adult life, following a family tradition that spans five generations. For more than 30 years he worked at Covent Garden Market where he first met Gregg Wallace and together they presented BBC Radio 4′s cult hit Veg Talk for seven years.

 

The Suppliers Supper evening on Tuesday July 2 costs £35 per person and starts at 7.30pm. For booking details please contact The Second Floor Restaurant reception on 0117 9168898.

BEAUTY MUST-HAVES: CROWNING GLORY

Just as we up our daily skincare routine in the summer, so too do we need to give our hair some much-needed TLC. Here are our favourite products to restore the beauty to your barnet.

Don’t be fooled into thinking summer is an invitation to be more relaxed about looking after your hair – the sun, sea and sand can play havoc with your style. Humidity and heat can leave you with dried out frizz, while a couple of days on the beach and you’re dealing with lanky lacklustre.

Ensure you take time to lavish you locks with the latest hair care products, designed to nourish and style, restoring bounce, health and shine. Heat sprays are a must, use alongside your driers, straighteners and rollers to protect your hair; while a weekly masque will leave you with a crowning glory that really deserves its glorious title.

 

  

 

Show Beauty Volume Lotion, £40; Sleep-In Rollers, £17.95.

 

  

 

Macadamia Flawless Experience Collection, £26; Percy & Reed Bountifully Bouncy Volumising Shampoo, £14.

  

Korres Red Vine Hair Sun Protection, £10; Shan Rahimkhan Keep Colour Shampoo, £22.50

 

 

 All products featured are available from our Ground Floor Beauty Hall.
