. a sample and Chocol-ART was born!”


. -.The chocolate birthday cards ■ are available in milk, plain or


white chocolate varieties in V


■ three designs,"two featuring. Joy’s signature Jester and the other a birthday cake design. “We’re convinced these are


th e 'f i r s t tru ly illustrated chocolate birthday cards and initial sales have been very good,” added Joy. “I ’m currently working oh a


number of other card designs and would also welcome com­ missions, which would include an original piece of artwork as well as the birthday card - a real treat for that special birth­ day.” 'The cards are only available


at Joy’s workshop at Backridge Farm, but she is currently talk­ ing to other gift retailers across Lancashire with a view to mak­ ing the Chocol-ART range available to all. •. For more information about

continue tha t award winning' trend of the other establish­ ments in the group ■with a menu specially created by joint man­ aging director and Michelin Star chef Nigel Haworth.


• Fresh from his triumphs in the finals of BBC2’s Great British Menu, Nigel has been working


with head chef Neil Butter- worth to create a line-up of dish­ es to complement the equally attractive local cask ales. “Wherever we open, ‘local’ is


, what it’s all about,’! says Nigel. . “In the North we- have an - , embarrassment of riches when it comes to growers, producers and' suppliers. Not just some of . the finest in the country, but some of the best in the world. So i t


makes sense to source from right here on the doorstep, and then use those wonderfully fresh ingredients to create something really special.”


. The.Bull’s original staff are staying on to be part of the new and growing team, with the position of general manager being taken by Leanne Richard­ son, who has been with the com­ pany for two years.
