The stocking-size Trencherman’s Guide details the most exquisite dining experiences in the region, and is backed by top chefs such as Rick Stein CBE who describes it as ‘A guide with teeth’, Nathan Outlaw who says ‘It’s one of the guides you want to get into as a chef’, and Michael Caines MBE (pictured above), chair of the Trencherman’s committee, who explains: ‘The guide showcases exquisite and authentic South West dining experiences.’

Reads Coffee

Limited Edition Christmas Coffee, Reads Coffee Roasters

For the friend who wouldn’t be caught dead in a Costa, give the gift of gold-standard caffeination this Christmas. Dorset’s Reads Coffee Roasters have launched this Limited Edition Christmas Coffee, a delightfully festive roast combining 100 per cent arabica Rwanda single estate beans with India Monsoon Malabar beans.

A warmly rich base and fruity hints of dried cranberry from the Rwandan beans are given a twist with bold spice from the Indian beans, making it a suitably yuletide-y blend for any brew method.
