📰 The Ivy is expanding its much-loved ‘1917 Menu’, a two-course set menu, and priced at £19.17 until the end of February, celebrating the year that the first Ivy restaurant opened in London.

📰 A nationwide study of UK adults reveals that modern luxury is now defined by quality time with loved ones, shared experiences and affordable treats, rather than extravagance, as The Ivy announces the expansion of its iconic 1917 two-course set menu for just £19.17 from now until the end of February.

📰 The findings reflect a cultural shift towards accessible, emotional luxury, experiences that feel special but still fit into everyday life.

📰 With over a third of the British Public (36%) saying they prefer regular, guilt-free treats over occasional big splurges, the research highlights why accessible luxury is becoming the new benchmark.

📰 Mark Askew, Group Executive Chef for The Ivy Collection, said: “It's clear from our research that luxury today is about connection, comfort and quality - not cost… At just £19.17, it is the perfect antidote to the winter blues, giving guests an opportunity to continue enjoying life’s small luxuries, even when budgets are feeling stretched after Christmas.”

🍻 Bootle’s oldest pub, The Jawbone Tavern, dating back to 1802, is set to expand its capacity by 80 & create 8 new jobs.

🍻 Since reopening again in September 2024, Bootle’s oldest pub has been a big hit with locals after being taken over by new owners who renovated the local, while still keeping its rich history intact.

🍻 Now, the owners are developing a new sports bar element to the venue, which is currently being built as part of an extension, and will open soon enough to start of this year. The new addition to the venue will include three electronic dart board lanes, a pool table, as well as seven big screens.

🍻 The expansion will create an additional 8 jobs at the site.

🍻 General Manager of the Jawbone Tavern, Dave McNally, said: “When the new owners took over the Jawbone Tavern, they had plans to create a new outdoor space, and that was completed earlier in the year… The sports bar will be an extension of what we currently offer, and we look forward to welcoming customers both new and old from January onwards.”

🧘 Liverpool yoga teacher, Jenni Jones, Owner of Yoga Bumps Liverpool and the woman who introduced the City’s first pregnancy-focused classes twenty years ago, is now supporting three generations of local women in a multitude of ways as demand for women’s health and wellbeing support continues to grow.

🧘 Jenni Jones, who lives in Crosby, began teaching pregnancy yoga in 2005 at a time when most people in the Liverpool City Region had never heard of classes tailored specifically to expectant Mums. She remembers launching her first session just weeks after becoming a Mum herself and wondering if anyone would turn up.

🧘 Since then, more than 16,000 women across the LCR have passed through her classes at venues including Liverpool Women’s Hospital, St Hilda’s School, community centres in Crosby and West Derby, and online.

🧘 Alongside pregnancy yoga, Jenni has spent the last two decades training in women’s health and supporting women through major life transitions, in addition to her work doing yoga.

🧘 Jenni Jones, the trailblazer of pregnancy yoga in Liverpool, said: “When I started, pregnancy yoga wasn’t known in the City. People didn’t know what it was or whether it would be suitable. Over the years, I’ve seen women through their first pregnancy and then their second, third, fourth and fifth. Now I’m meeting daughters of women I supported twenty years ago, which feels incredibly special.”
