Welcome to Berry Bar and Lounge Welcome to Berry Bar and Lounge We would like to introduce you to two English traditions. Gin Gin is synonymous with London. In the early 1700’s more than 14 gallons of Gin per person were produced here. Skip to the 1920’s. During this period the modern cocktail hour originated. Gin was at the centre due to the popularity of the Martini. Present day London is once again awash with Gin. The launch of Beefeater 24 and other Premium London Gins have made it the drink to be seen with. Afternoon Tea Afternoon Tea is said to have originated in the 1840’s. Anna, The Duchess of Bedford, often became hungry in the mid afternoon and requested that her maid serve her tea with sandwiches and cakes. Anna began to invite friends to join her and a new social event was born that became increasingly popular with the middle and upper classes. Once introduced to London, Afternoon Tea breathed new life in the social scene and continues to do so to this day. Here at Berry Bar and Lounge we have taken these two British traditions and given them a contemporary makeover fitting for modern day London. Gin and Tonics The Gin and Tonics £7.95 Gordon’s Developed by Scotsman Alexander Gordon in 1769, it is triple distilled for a smoother finish. Gordon’s recipe has been kept secret for over 250 years Beefeater Founded in 1876 by pharmacist James Borrough. A fine example of a London Dry Gin Plymouth Made since 1793 in the Black Friars distillery. The oldest working distillery in Europe Hayman’s Old Tom A distinctive Gin, Old Tom offers something different. Birth Gin for the Martinez and Tom Collins cocktails Premium Gin and Tonics £8.95 Bombay Sapphire The only Gin to be vapour distilled. This gives it a distinctive aroma Beefeater 24 Differs from the original by using a unique blend of Asian teas Hendrick’s Made in Scotland using Cucumber and Bulgarian rose petals. A daring and modern Gin Bloom Bloom Gin has the only female master distiller in the UK. Made by Greenall’s, the oldest Gin distiller in the UK Plymouth Navy Strength For almost two centuries no Royal Navy vessel left British shores without a bottle Luxury Gin and Tonics £9.95 Williams Chase “Said to be the most complicated Gin in the world”. Distilled 100 times and highlighted with apple and elderflower No. 3 No.3, with juniper at its heart, unashamedly celebrates the integrity and character of traditional London Dry Gin Sipsmiths Hand crafted in small batches and made in ‘Prudence’, Sipsmith’s unique copper still.

Infused Beefeater 24 Earl Grey tea Gin forms the base of this English classic with added Berry Bar magic The London Lemonade Long and gorgeously floral, The London Lemonade infuses elderflower with lemon, a hint of thyme and Miller's Gin to create this effortlessly refreshing cocktail Ginger Fizz This is our head bartender’s favourite. We infuse Beefeater 24 Gin and freshly bruised ginger with sweet lime juice and a touch of sparkle. Finished with a red chilli English Garden The freshness of English cucumber and of course Hendrick's Gin makes a cool, long and invigorating cocktail. Add lime, ginger and berries and enjoy Classics £10.50 Cosmopolitan An air of playful sophistication and the elegance to rival any classic the Cosmo is a perfect party starter. Watch out for the flambéed orange peel Her Royal Self Inspired by our next door neighbour, Her Majesty the Queen, this imperial intermingling of mixed berries, Her Majesties’ flower: The red rose and golden luxury of Pommery champagne will leave a lasting impression Martinez Said to be the original Martini. Will leave you feeling mellow and enthused to discover the history of this strong and sweet mix, chilled by stirring slowly with Hayman's Old Tom Gin Mojito We at Berry Bar make a classic into our own: with fresh mint and bespoke demerara sugar syrup.

  • Feathers Gin List Updated 13Th November
    Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca “Of all the Gin joints in all the world she had to walk into mine” Welcome, To the Wonderful World of Gin… Gin started life in the early 17th century in Holland, although claims have been made that it was produced prior to this in Italy. WC Fields would start the day with two double martinis, enjoyed either side of his breakfast. He drank about two quarts of gin a day. Every Gin brand has its own unique fragrance; most consumers have probably only tasted a small number of the gin brands available. In ours there are more than 60 different Gin brands, from 9 different countries; offering a wide spectrum of fragrances, using different botanicals and infusion methods in all shapes and sizes. Gin is distilled differently. Premium Gins are distilled 3 to 5 times to remove impurities; each brand has a unique formula that provides its special characteristics. The favourite drink of former President Gerald Ford is Gin and Tonic. Gin is the only alcohol liquor that was first developed as a medicine remedy before it became popular as a social drink. “Mother’s Ruin” a term that came from British soldiers taste for Gin when home on leave from the World War II, and the maternal state it induced in the women who shared their off-duty conviviality. William of Orange prohibited the importing of alcohol to England in the early 18th Century encouraging the production and consumption of English Gin. The excessive consumption that followed gave rise to the name Gin Craze.

In particular, our research showed a disproportionate presence of Sky News on intermediary platforms and strongly suggested that Global and Bauer radio stations still rely to some degree on the wholesale news service provided exclusively by Sky (via the Independent Radio News Network).

    APPENDIX A Terms of reference and conduct of the inquiry 1. On 11 October 2012, the OFT sent the following reference to the CC: 1. In exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act (‘the Act’) to make a reference to the Competition Commission (‘the CC’) in relation to a completed merger, the Office of Fair Trading (‘the OFT’) believes that it is or may be the case that: (a) a relevant merger situation has been created in that: (i) enterprises carried on by or under the control of Global Radio Holdings Limited have ceased to be distinct from enterprises previously carried on by or under the control of GMG Radio Holdings Limited; and (ii) as a result, the conditions specified in section 23(4) of the Act will prevail, or will prevail to a greater extent, with respect to the supply of commercial radio based on listening hours in the UK and the supply of radio advertising services in London, the West Midlands, the East Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire, the North East, Central Scotland, South Wales and North Wales; and (b) the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services, including the supply of non-contracted radio advertising services in North Wales, the East Midlands, South Yorkshire and Cardiff. 2. Therefore, in exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Act, the OFT hereby refers to the CC, for investigation and report within a period ending on 27 March 2013, on the following questions in accordance with section 35(1) of the Act: (a) whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods and services.

  • Sports Coaching Through the Ages with an Empirical Study of Predictors of Rowing Coaching Effectiveness
    Sports Coaching Through the Ages with an Empirical Study of Predictors of Rowing Coaching Effectiveness Cameron Michael Kiosoglous A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Paul D. Renard (Chair) Gabriella M. Belli Marcie Boucouvalas Clare D. Klunk Friday, April 5, 2013 Falls Church, Virginia. Keywords Professionalization of sport Sports coaching effectiveness and expertise Sports coaching development Evaluating sport coaching success Reflective practices in sport coaching Sports Coaching Through the Ages with an Empirical Study of Predictors of Rowing Coaching Effectiveness Cameron Kiosoglous Abstract Coaching effectiveness is a result of a coach getting the best out of the people and resources in their environment. For coaches, learning from experience is vital in a role that is a complex, dynamic and multifaceted process of balancing fun and winning where one cannot be sure if results will go according to plan. At the Olympic level, due to commercialization more money is being spent than ever before on developing more professional and effective training systems to maximize athletic performances. Medals won determine how a coach is evaluated and with more nations competition at a higher level, success is becoming even more competitive. More qualified and adaptable coaches are required to cope with the demands of international competition. The literature has been extensively examined based on the research question: to what extent is coaching success predicted by a coaches’ ability to self-reflect on past experiences? The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that if coaches who are highly self- reflective and have successful athletic and coaching experiences would be more likely to have future coaching success than those who either were not self-reflective or had less success in the past.

  • Review of Music in Radio Formats
    Submission to OFCOM Review of Music in Radio Formats 2 April 2015 Introduction 1. Global is a media and entertainment company comprising Global Radio, Global TV and Global Entertainment (music label, music publishing and artist management). Our brands include Heart, Capital, Classic FM, Smooth, LBC, Gold, XFM and Capital XTRA, broadcasting from 20 broadcast centres across the country to over 23 million listeners every week. 2. When Ofcom published its Call for Inputs, we welcomed the opportunity to comment on a full review of all aspects of Format regulation, which we agreed was much needed. 3. In our response to Ofcom’s Call for Inputs we highlighted the substantial changes that have taken place in the market. The ways in which listeners access music has changed fundamentally since 2008, when formats were last reviewed by Ofcom. Services such as YouTube and Spotify were still in their infancy and digital radio had not yet achieved critical mass. Rajar Midas1 shows that services other than radio now account for nearly a third of audio listening time. A majority of radio listeners now own at least one DAB radio, compared to under one-third in 2008, and digital platforms now account for 38% of total radio listening as compared to just 18% in 2008. 4. We are mindful of the fact that Ofcom must fulfil its statutory duties, but we remain of the view that the legislative regime provides Ofcom with considerable discretion regarding the regulation of music formats in radio, amongst other things. 5. We believe that Ofcom can take reasonable, measured steps to reduce the regulatory burden faced by licensees, which will give stations more flexibility to adapt to changes in listeners’ tastes and which are consistent with Ofcom’s statutory duties.

  • Individual 1
    GLOBAL/GMG MERGER INQUIRY Third party response to the provisional findings 6 March 2013 Global Radio should not be allowed to own Real and Smooth Ltd. and Heart. I do not believe this will increase investment in commercial radio, especially when its main target is national advertisers, not local ones; a friend / contact of mine owns his own car dealer in Rotherham, and had considered advertising on Capital 105, but then realized it was not appropriate as they only want national advertisers. In the end he decided to go for a smaller, rival station that is more local, and thus, can aim more at local advertisers. Many of my friends/contacts in the automobile trade said they would most definitely advertise on radio alongside Internet and print advertising - but they feel it is geared too much towards national advertisers, and that national brands are of little use to them - except in print media, e.g. Auto Trader. Gaining local advertisers is important to the future sustainability of them; getting regional chains like Home Bargains to advertise should be the aim. From my own research into the radio industry, Global Radio is seen as the United Kingdom equivalent of Clear Channel, who were criticised for having too much market share. Smaller groups like UTV, Orion, UKRD, Lincs FM and Quidem cannot afford to compete against the British equivalent of Clear Channel, whose main aim is to target national advertisers. My other issues with this is the Character of Service; Real Radio was originally designed as a full-service station at launch in 1994 when it was 105.4 Century Radio, and this is the same for all Real Radio licences.
