Special winter

This time of year it can take a lot to drag oneself out of snuggly duvets and PJs; however the current wealth of food and accommodation winter specials should be able to tempt the most lazy of home-bodies outdoors. Leigh Andrews reviews the fabulous winter menu special at Grande Provence while Angie White spends a night at the recently opened Capital Mirage Hotel and Kim Lawrence falls in love with Waterfront restaurant, Dalliance.

We've got tickets to Park Acoustics featuring Shortstraw and Hot Water up for grabs!

Happy Father's Day weekend!
