Excellent food in a fish shop

             Excellent food in a fish shop

Based in the back of a fishmongers, this restraurant is a hidden gem! The Easy Fish Co. has been providing fresh fish and seafood for over 10 years. They’re an independent business with over 120 years’ experience in the fish trade making a perfect location for our staff outing. 

                     

As a family business that originally started in Heaton Moor, our trip to easy fish was certainly a blast from the past. The founder of Victoria Highfield Angela grew up just a few doors down from our venue making great conversation throughout the evening, reminiscing and recalling the previous business in that location;  K&H supermarkets.  This restaurant has evolved into a successful seafood restaurant.

The food was amazing, fresh and well-presented.  We particularly enjoyed the seafood sharing platter which was well worth having as the flavour, balance of textures and presentation were exceptional. The atmosphere lovely and relaxed with attentive but not overbearing service making our recommendation easy! Only open Wednesday to Saturday 12.00 to 23.00pm this place is deservedly very busy and so we recommend booking in advance!

Bonhams: £60m of jewellery 'gathering dust'
There is an estimated £60m worth of vintage jewellery gathering dust in drawers and attics across Britain, according to Bonhams.
The auction house said that millions of pound's worth of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other pieces of jewellery are simply set aside and forgotten as a result of changing tastes.
The announcement was made after a dusty ruby brooch, which was bought in a charity shop for £1.50, sold for £2,400 after 'scratches' on its back were identified as a Cartier signature by Bonham's auctioneers.
Other finds range from a £20,000 diamond ring buired in a back garden, an art deco brooch bequeathed to a young girl by her grandmother and considered 'costume' jewellery until it sold for £12,500 and a ring inherited from a grandmother which was revealed as an "ultra-rare" Burmese unheated ruby, selling for £134,500. Jean Ghika, head of jewellery in the UK and Europe at Bohams, said: "We estimate there is at least £60m worth of unwanted jewellery that owners have forgotten or never worn just waiting for a new home.
"Many clients tell us they had forgotten about a piece of jewellery that might have been handed down to them when an elderly relative passed away or that it was just sitting in a safe deposit box and not being worn and enjoyed. A lot of people have no idea just how valuable these pieces could be.
Through out August we will run a series of jewellery valuation days, and invite people to have their jewellery valued.
