Benllech is home to the pearl of North Wales: The Beachcomber Bar and Grill. This hidden gem is rated 4 and a half stars on TripAdvisor, and my god it really is worth it! Located on Bangor Road, Tyn-Y-Gongl, LL74 8TF, the Beachcomber combines Spanish style tapas alongside local produce. Its grill section is mouth-watering and the pizza to die for! Portions are fit for a family of four per dish so you won’t be leaving hungry. I opted on the garlic bread and olives for starters and I was not disappointed. A mixture of green and black olives bathed…

This farm has so far confirmed one case of BSE and has placed precautionary restrictions to…

November 1st is generally full of eating Halloween sweets from the night before, but for many it also marks the celebration of Veganism. World Vegan Day started in 1994, in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Vegan Society, and it marks the beginning of Vegan month. As well as a celebration, it’s also a really good way for people to learn a little bit more about this way of life. It’s a great time to ask what Veganism actually is, and learn to see things from a different perspective. It’s a common misconception that Vegans…

The latest addition to the local background giving us the feel of the Caribbean and a floral garland to rock for your 9am: The Cove. The coffee and rum shake gives us the best of both worlds, allowing students to drown their sorrows in alcohol late night, and then give them a kick up the arse coffee the following morning. Their world famous (at least in my world) fish bowls consist of: Vimto, Caribbean, and Blue Lagoon. At £10 a pop, these beauties taste like fruit juice and are easy to get down, then once in Academi you won’t need…
