Jamie Oliver’s Italian restaurant

chain will launch in time to feed

hungry diners at this year’s

show. The restaurant, which is

reported to be opening on 13

July, will be set over two fl oors

in the new Lateral Property

development on Parliament

Street. The Essex chef’s new joint

opens just a few months on from

Italian chain Carluccio’s opening

on Station Square.

Ale have

a pint

If you’re a fan of

real ale then The

Harrogate Tap could be right

up your street. Handily located

right next to the station the

boozer calls itself a “World Beer

Freehouse” with an emphasis

on serving both traditional and

modern ales. The bar offers a

choice of beer sourced from

across the globe, dispensed from

14 traditional cask handpulls

and 14 continental swing-

handled taps, set against a

backdrop of over 150 different

bottled world beers.

GETTING THERE...

For those looking to travel by

train to Harrogate the earlier you

buy the better the price. In fact,

Trainline says you could save an

average of 43% on your train ticket

if you book in advance rather than

buying on the day. Advance tickets

are usually released 12 weeks

prior to the date of travel, so the

earlier you book the more likely

you are to save.

You should be able to bag a ticket

from London’s King’s Cross to

Harrogate from £38.50 return. For

those coming from Birmingham

New Street, returns should start

from £38.80 and for a return to

Portsmouth from £38.70.

From Nottingham to Harrogate

a return should set you back

anything upwards of £46 and if

you are coming from Glasgow

tickets are from £22.50 each way.
