Luton boss Nathan Jones was relieved his side finished off October with a 2-0 win at AFC Wimbledon on Saturday. Last season, the Hatters had a unwanted quirk in the final game of the month, as they only took 11 points from a possible 27, with three wins, two draws and four defeats. This is the one that maybe last year and the year before, we might have drawn, we might have lost, we might have let ourselves down, but we didn’t. Nathan Jones This term they appear to have banished that slight stain on their record, with the weekend victory making it two wins and a draw thus far.Jones said: “I know we mentioned it a few times last year, the last game of the month, but we didn’t (lose).“We showed a real professional edge to us and a clinical edge, because two good goals and if I’m honest, without being disrespectful, it should have been more.”Although the game was goalless at half time, with neither side able to really grasp the upper hand, Jones felt … [Read more...] about Month-ending delight for Hatters chief

Bristol fish and chip shop reopens six months after closing
Everyone loves fish and chips and we’re certainly not short of options when it comes to the classic cuisine in Bristol. So it’s a shame when one of the city’s most well-loved chippies closes its doors, and the latest to do so was Soul Fish on Gloucester Road. It closed its doors back in March, alerting its loyal customers with a notice in the window. But thankfully there is good news, as a new owner has taken on the site and reopened it as another fish and chip-lover’s paradise. Reel Soul will continue the good work of Soul Fish, serving sustainably-sourced, traditional fish and chips with a modern twist. On the menu you’ll find all your classic options as well as gluten-free and vegan options, with the chefs trained to "make the batter light and crunchy, curry sauce from scratch and chips crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the outside" - sounds good to us. New owner Kav, who also runs the esteemed Cafe Ronak and Bristol HomeBites, said: “Soul Fish … [Read more...] about Bristol fish and chip shop reopens six months after closing

A popular Bristol café is reopening just one month after closing
Restaurant and café closures have showed no signs of slowing down this year and each one is tinged with sadness. One of the closures which came as a shock was that of Salt, the quaint Hotwells café which was just making a name for itself after three years of building up a loyal customer base. But due to a long-running dispute with the landlord, it served its final coffee in March to the sadness of its owners and those who regularly visited it. However, in yet another collaboration which demonstrates just how tight-knit Bristol’s food scene is, the café has been given a second lease of life thanks to another nearby café, The Spin Bar, which has asked them to join forces. The Spin Bar's owners read about Salt’s closure and thought it would be too sad to see it close, as well as spotting an opportunity to grow their fitness business, so approached Salt's owners Alan and Alice and asked them to move in. Steve Bye, one of The Spin Bar's owners, said: … [Read more...] about A popular Bristol café is reopening just one month after closing
