Send us a textIn this month's episode, Col Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts take a "deep dive" into a scarce and unusual award for the First World War made only to Territorial soldiers 1914-1919. They investigate the origins and exacting criteria for this WW1 campaign service medal, common misconceptions and the many anomalies caused by it, along with the character of the men and women who were awarded it. A fascinating insight into policy of deploying Territorial troops to garrison the British Empire and the willingness of part time soldiers and nurses from Herefordshire - and across the country - to sign up to serve overseas, which they were under no obligation to do under Territorial Force Regulations until May 1916. One of the illustrations they use is their shared ancestor, Charles Percy Taylor from Ledbury.Paul and Andy discuss research possibilities for the military and family historian alike of this attractive and enigmatic award, by far the scarcest of all First World War service medals. And how First World War service medals can still be claimed today, over a century later in certain circumstances.For more information about the Operation Blackout - last mission of WW2 - at Hereford Town Hall on 17th May 2025 at 6.30pm, click here:https://herefordshirelightinfantrymuseum.com/events/op-blackout-presentation/Support the showIf you like what you hear, don't forget to like and subscribe to help us reach a wider audience.

The Tiffy Group is known for its imaginative venues which transcend the ordinary. Ryan Spurrell is Executive chef for and so oversees the group's Goldilocks Rooftop Bar, House of Correction, Lost Boys, The Clarendon and latest Snow White inspired beauty, Mirror Mirror Rooftop Lounge. I spoke to Ryan in The Clarendon which has recently been renovated and is a really beautiful makeover of the great bones of the original Clarendon Hotel, established in 1858 and then had a quick trip up the elevator to rooftop Mirror Mirror. Melbourne loves a rooftop bar and this one might only be three floors up but gives absolute rooftop energy, as well as some Mediterranean influences in its greenery and tiling. You can see out to Port Melbourne as well as see the city from a different perspective. Ryan grew up watching cooking shows on television and was fascinated by watching the techniques used by the chefs. Drawn to fine dining, he has worked in some of my favourite Melbourne restaurants such as Vue de Monde, Estelle and Matilda as well as top London restaurants, The Ledbury and Pollen Street Social. He also worked in Ho Chi Minh for eight months and was loving it before the experience was cut short by Covid lockdowns, but he brings to The Clarendon and Mirror Mirror some of the flavours he discovered and loved there intertwined with the food he has grown up cooking.

People sometimes describe Tom Straker s a “TikTok chef” or an “Instagram chef,” and yes, it's true that he has millions and millions and millions of followers on Instagram and TikTok, and that he's known across the globe for his mesmeric butter-making videos, among many other things. But Tom's also the real deal — a chef who trained at the Ledbury, the Dorchester and headed up the kitchen Casa Cruz before trying his hand, one day in lockdown, at making a cooking video for a few hundred followers. That first attempt was pretty dreadful, he admits — but now he runs an entire studio to produce his content, while his adoring fans flock from around the world to Straker's, his new-ish restaurant in Notting Hill, which thoroughly lives up to the excellent reviews its had since its opening at the end of last year. A second is set to open in Manhattan in just a few months time. Tom and I spoke about all sorts of things in this episode, recorded in the office above Straker's on the Golborne Road — including his earliest food memory, the ridiculous suit that he wore to his first interview at the Dorchester, his plans to shake up the butter market, and his advice for anyone unsure of what they want to do in life. Enjoy. The Gentleman's Journal Podcast is sponsored by Luca Faloni

In this month's episode, Col Andy Taylor and Reverend Paul Roberts reveal a family secret, explore the high streets and bye streets of the Herefordshire market town of Ledbury, and follow in the footsteps of Territorial bandsman and prisoner of war, Charles Percy Taylor. Any relation? Listen to find out!Percy Taylor caused havoc in the town as one of the Mafeking Boys before running away to sea, only to return to Ledbury to work at Hopkins Garage and join the Herefordshire Regiment. The war found him more at danger from friends than enemies - receiving a bullet wound to the chest from a fellow Ledburian, before overseas service with the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry. Taken prisoner in the Spring Offensive of 1918, Percy spent a number of months in a German Stammlager or Stalag before repatriation and return to civilian life in the town.Part of civvie life included regular trips to the Brewery Inn on the Bye Street - so this is where our hosts end up too, for a nostalgic pint and a discussion about research into the men of the town in the First and Second World Wars.

After cutting his teeth in some of the Uk's best restaurants, The Fat Duck and The Ledbury, Brendan Pratt (Vasse Felix, WA) returned home to Western Australia eager to make his mark on the culinary landscape. But in the whirlwind of trying to impress he got caught up in the old world of hospitality, where hard love in the kitchen was considered the only way to treat your team. But one day, when a colleague sat it him to express concerns, he realised his wrongs and it set him on a new path where nurturing, respect and collaborations let the entire brigade thrive, and the impact has been nothing short of incredible.https://www.vassefelix.com.auFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Huckhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTShttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

Stuart owned and ran a gift business in Ledbury for around thirty years, which in the 1990's was turning over £3.5 million a year. Some of that success was due to the fact he designed a product that sold 8.5 million units and really helped establish the company. He says that in spite of everything, he was guilty of working in the business and not on the business. The business was sold in the early 2000s and he went “back” to becoming a studio potter. After handing the pottery business to a young potter who had worked with him for a few years in 2016, he now makes furniture and guitars, going to a luthier and a furniture maker to hone his skills. He's also my landlord here at the studio and I'm very lucky to count him as a friend and mentor, as he's been extremely supportive to me over the last 5 years as I've tried to build my business and change careers. http://www.stuarthoughton.co.uk/ (www.stuarthoughton.co.uk)
This week I am delighted to introduce you to a wonderful human being and Company Stage Manager extraordinaire, SJ Ledbury! Coming from a very theatrical childhood, she vowed that she absolutely did not want to work in theatre…but against all odds she couldn't stay away! The passion in which she speaks about her job is just an absolute joy to hear, and I could honestly listen to her speak about it for hours on end. She took me by surprise with a very unexpected (but brilliant) piece of advice for people who work in theatre, you'll have to have a listen to hear that gem… Disclaimer: please do not try and fix your baby with gaffer tape.

Cathy Booth’s special guest this month is ringer and project manger par excellence Tim Keyes who gives us the inside scoop of Ledbury’s rather exciting bell restoration and augmentation project.Tim very helpfully talks through all the different stages of the project, step by step, with plenty of top tips for those of you planning your own bell project.Cathy hears about the challenges faced, exacerbated by Brexit and COVID-19, but also the enormous highs that come with engaging the whole community in innovative ways.However, this podcast is much more than the story of a successful project, as the interview takes a surprising literary turn. But then again, we always knew that bell ringing is poetry in motion ...For more information and photos see www.funwithbells.com
After running one of the world’s best restaurants and reaching number 10 in the world, Brett Graham (The Ledbury) realised what he had worked so hard to build was jeopardy when the pandemic landed. With a venue incapable of function with social distancing in any form and uncertainty around the opening up of society he was left with no choice but to close. But with a never-say-die attitude he has taken the opportunity to explore new ingredients, and the agricultural side associated with food production with astounding results.https://www.theledbury.com/the-chef/https://www.tafensw.edu.au/enrol/payment-funding/scholarships/brett-graham-scholarshipFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Huckhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER PODCASTSDirty Linen with Dani Valenthttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dirty-linen-a-food-podcast-with-dani-valent/id1518946986The Crackling with Anthony Huckstephttps://linktr.ee/thecrackling
If Ron Rider isn't the most interesting person in the shoe game, we certainly want to meet whoever is. Ron's lived his whole career in shoes, creating the cult favorite Rider Boot Co. and now acting as one of the behind-the-scenes straws that stir the private label drink for a crazy range of brands. This week, Ticho and Ben talk to Ron about how private label works (it gets pretty weird!), his vision for how shoe sizing needs to be done correctly, what's going on with his latest project with Ledbury's sub-brand Tangier, and how many pints of Guinness you need to buy him to do a deal. Ron is simply the best, and if you skip this episode, your life will be considerably worse. This episode was sponsored by Grant Stone, perhaps the best overall value in shoes and boots, periodTheme music: The Road by Punk Rock Opera

Témy tohtotýždňovej Mimózy: Čile predbehlo Izrael v rýchlosti očkovania proti ochoreniu COVID-19 a za uplynulých sedem dní sa stalo krajinou s najvyšším počtom podaných dávok vakcín v prepočte na 100 obyvateľov na svete. V Čile s 18 miliónmi obyvateľov dostalo od decembra, prinajmenšom prvú dávku vakcíny už viac ako 4 milióny ľudí, teda vyše 21 percent populácie. Čile spoločne s Mexikom a Kostarikou začali očkovať ako vôbec prvé spomedzi latinskoamerických krajín. Väčšina z použitých vakcíny sú od čínskej firmy Sinovac.

Keď pred troma rokmi zavolali predstavitelia cirkvi do malého britského mestečka Ledbury experta na umenie Ronalda Moora, ešte netušili, aký vzácny objav ho tam čaká. V kostole už vyše sto rokov visel obraz, ktorý znázorňoval poslednú večeru Ježiša Krista. Rám bol zaprášený, farby vyblednuté. Kostol svätého Michala a anjelov v Ledbury dostal plátno ako dar v roku 1909. No odvtedy sa oň nik nestaral. Teraz však experti definitívne potvrdili, že je to dielo jedného z najväčších renesančných starých majstrov - Tiziana Vecellia, známeho ako Tizian. Obraz má hodnotu niekoľkých miliónov dolárov. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na podcasty@sme.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Podporte vznik podcastu Mimóza a kúpte si digitálne predplatné SME.sk na sme.sk/podcast – Odoberajte aj denný newsletter SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/suhrnsme – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Mimóza.

My guest today is farmer and butcher Ian Warren, who owns the family-run Philip Warren Butchers in Cornwall. They produce and sell some of the highest quality meat in the UK, supplying top restaurants in the country, and also selling directly to consumers. This year, during lockdown, they launched ‘On the Pass’, making their specialist cuts of meat, that would normally have been used by the likes of Brat and The Ledbury, available for people to order online and cook at home. Ian and I talk about the work he does and what is means to rear and sell quality meat, and he shares some background on livestock farming in the UK, and how we as consumers can make better, more informed decisions when buying and eating meat. I know meat can be a very contentious subject - my view is I believe meat is a specialist product, that it’s not a staple we should be eating every day, and if we do have the means, it would make a huge difference if more of us made the effort to seek out better quality meat farmed in a way that respects nature, where we pay a bit more, eat a bit less of it, and support the farmers producing it in the right way. Like anything in our food system, these small changes can have a big impact. So I hope this conversation gives you some food for thought, and provides some more info on the very nuanced world of meat and how we can do our part to help make it better...

This week we celebrate the spirit of the Ledbury Poetry Festival. With a distinctly international programme, Ledbury is one of the best-loved events in the UK literary calendar. The festival has been, like many events, sadly cancelled this year. Ian McMillan is joined by Sandeep Parmar of the Ledbury Festival Board and just a few of the poets who would have appeared at the 2020 event; Carolyn Forché, Kaveh Akbar and Juana Adcock. As part of the festival programme, Carolyn Forché was going to be in conversation with Sandeep, so here we give Sandeep a chance to ask just a few of the questions she wanted to ask. Carolyn has recently published her first collection of poetry in 17 years, 'In the Lateness of the World' (Bloodaxe). Juana Adcock discusses her translation of the Mexican poet Hubert Matiuwaa, and reads a poem from her collection 'Split' (Blue Diode), set to music by Jer Reid. Kaveh Akbar's debut collection 'Calling A Wolf A Wolf' was published to great acclaim in 2017, and here he reads work in progress. Sandeep Parmar has written the afterword to a new edition of Hope Mirrlees's ‘lost' modernist masterpiece 'Paris'. The festival has been able to move a small number of events online, including Kaveh Akbar in conversation with Danez Smith and Juana Adock and Martha Sprackland will be taking part in a Spanish Poetry Translation Duel, posted by Clare Pollard.

There is no getting away from the fact that James Cochran is a dude. He’s the chef with no name and his restaurant is named after a song from The Strokes, and if that’s not cool enough, he also happens to be an epic chef, and an all-round entertaining chap. If you look at James Cochran’s sample menus – from pheasant sausage to buttermilk jerk spiced chicken – you can see the influences that shape his brilliant cooking: Scottish from his dad; Vincentian from his mum. When James was honing his chef’s skills alongside Brett Graham at the famous The Ledbury, he couldn’t bring these influences to the fore – great though his time with the Michelin-starred chef was. (He really does mean ‘great’, despite the 18-hour days when he never saw daylight and despite regularly missing his tube stop, because he was so exhausted). James came into his own when he was named ‘Champion of Champions’ on the Great British Menu in 2018 and his Goat Sharing Board and legendary Scotch Bonnet Jam reached the attention of millions. Now, as the owner of 12:51, he has the freedom to work creatively with the ingredients from his childhood. He says he ‘feels honest every day about the food he does and is happy to carry on his parents’ legacy’.
What an inspiring and passionate individual. Troy Rhodes-Brown, chef and owner of the renowned restaurant Muse, a two hatted restaurant situated in the Hunter Valley. Troy has a dedicated love and attention for running a restaurant that delivers a complete dining experience. In 2005 he won the Brett Graham Scholarship, granting him a trip and work experience at The Ledbury in the UK. This man lives and breathes what he does, which is apparent as he takes us through his journey in life, starting right from the beginning.

With the recession in full swing, 2009 was a tough year to start a luxury brand, as Ledbury CEO and co-founder Paul Trible knows. But Ledbury bet on luxury, at a price range that invited both younger customers to step up their wardrobe, and older ones to save money, compared to what they were buying. "That's anywhere between $125 to $185," Trible said on the Glossy Podcast. "It's still expensive for folks, but what we saw very early on is we were pulling people down from Canali and Zegna and Eton, people who were spending usually $250 or $300 a shirt." Direct-to-consumer makes up 70% of Ledbury's sales, Trible said, with another 20% coming from wholesale. Brick-and-mortar stores -- of which the company has three -- fill in the rest of the revenue pie. On this week's Glossy Podcast, Trible spoke about quality manufacturing, a unique revenue-sharing model Ledbury started with its retailers and fact that the second button is what makes or breaks a shirt, just like Jerry Seinfeld said.

My guest today is Ben Branson Ben is the founder of Seedlip – Seedlip is a non-alcoholic spirit and it’s the first of its kind. Served in gorgeous clear bottles, with beautiful branding, with names such as Garden 108 and Spice 94, it has all the romance and allure of a gin. Except it is most definitely not gin. It’s beyond clever. Four years ago tee-totaller Ben started tinkering in his kitchen, buying a copper still and experimenting with herbal remedies. After hours of experimenting, Seedlip was born. The first 1,000 bottles sold out in just three weeks, the next 1,000 sold out within only three days and the next 1,000 in an incredible thirty minutes online. Pretty impressive stuff! Fast forwards to today and Seedlip’s success is the kind that most start ups can only dream of. They are stocked in Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges, high-end bars including at The Savoy and in over 100 Michelin-starred restaurants including The Ledbury, The Fat Duck and far too many to even mention. Drinks giant Diageo even wanted in on the action and invested very early on in Seedlip’s journey. But behind every fairytale story is another more interesting saga of hard work and most entrepreneurs will tell you that there’s no such thing as an overnight success . Ben bottled and labelled the first 1,000 bottles himself. He’s on the road more than 240 days a year and it’s not uncommon for him to attend 20 events in 20 days. Ben is ridiculously talented and it’s just been amazing to see his success – so inspiring! He really does have the word peas tattooed onto his knuckles – what can he say, he really loves peas. Head to the website www.desertislanddishes to see a picture of Ben as I do always think its really nice to put a face to a voice – and you can see the recipe I’ve created in honour of Ben. Spoiler alert, there are peas. Desert Island Dish: His mums roast lamb with peas Luxury item: His dog Kiwi Thank you for listening, subscribing, rating and reviewing.

Rhys and Josh interview Katie Ledbury about Human Growth and Development, both the concept, and the class. Why study human growth at all? What is its relevance to the work of counselors, social workers and prescribers? What are the most helpful ways to understand the dynamic, life-long growth process of a person? We tackle all these questions and more. In particular, we critique the practice of studying the psycho-social stages of Erik Erikson. We note that Erikson understoond human growth through multiple lenses of privilege and note the limits of that perspective and further discuss whether or not and to what degree his theory may or may not still be relevant!

If you think the bourbon frenzy has gotten bad here in the US, well you don't know what it's like to live outside the borders. This episode features Ed Rosie and Andrew Watson, members of the British Bourbon Society, as we we discuss the transition of scotch drinkers to bourbon, the European search for dusties, and how it's nearly impossible to get your hands on store picks which we take for granted.

Talk about the current state of affairs with bourbon in the UK. How much have you seen the EU pick up on this? Are there dedicated bars? Are bartender cocktails changing? Is it cheaper to have your booze imported from a different country? Have you taken all the dusty bourbon out of Europe? I have friends from the UK and when they visit they tend to bring extra suitcases for shopping because things are just cheaper here. How do the prices compare to the US with taxes? How often are you making pilgrimages to go shopping? At this point, Trump is making more enemies across the globe and within our own country. Back in July, the European Union talked about a retaliatory tariff on steel imports. They said there would be heavy taxes on American whiskey. And the senate majority leader is Mitch McConnell who represents Kentucky, so it’s no wonder why they would go straight for the groin. As bourbon begins to boom and flourish in export markets this could really hit home as every distillery is in hyper-growth phases. Fred Minnick had an article on the NYTimes that really touched on the subject. I want to get your opinions on what this tax could potentially do What’s the difference in the legalities? still a 3 tier system? You also have some interesting export only bourbons you have access to. Wild Turkey 12 year. Blantons SFTB and Gold and Reserve. But what do we have in the US you wish you had every day access to?
Many of us understand Bourbon 101 and 102 knowledge, but what about level 400? Dr. Pat Heist of Ferm Solutions joins the show to explain what is chemically happening when you're producing bourbon and gives an in-depth look at yeast and how it becomes one of the most critical components of the process. You will learn all about the breakdowns of enzymes during mash cooking and species of yeast for distilling. If you're a science buff, this episode is for you.

Talk about the science behind corn Is there really a difference between red corn or blue corn vs the traditional white/yellow corn? Difference in flavor? Economical? Talk about pesticides and GMO for the grains What about barley, rye, or wheat? Is the breakdown of the pathogens different or the enzymes? Go a bit more in depth about what the scientific differences between sour vs sweet mash How does yeast compete? What about the sanitary levels and how that contributes? What are the differences in the species of yeast and which ones are typically used in beer and spirits production? True or False. Does yeast contribute 15% to the flavor of a bourbon? What are the differences between low-gravity and high-gravity fermenters? What is the cause of a mutated yeast? Jim Rutledge discovered it at one time when it was a part of some limited edition offerings at Four Roses When you're monitoring the yeast during fermentation, what are you looking for? When I was at Castle and Key they talked about doing yeast forensics to find a closely resembled strain. Is this actually possible or just marketing hype? Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. What does this even mean? When does the yeast stop playing a roll? When it's in the barrel? out of the barrel? in the bottle? Is yeast like a fungi where it can reproduce when it get puts back into a normalized environment? What about beers that go bad? One last question about corn, how long do you age corn in a silo to dehydrate corn and remove moisture?

What's the good what's the bad? How does having a very prominent online presence given you an advantage? Do you see your barrel picks making its way out of state because of online orders? Do you feel that impacts locals? We know allocated items in bourbon are coveted right now. How are you dealing with this surge? Do you reward continual shoppers, even online shoppers that are out of state? Is there a better way to get products into the hands of consumers other than the three-tier system? Why are there so many law restrictions on shipping alcohol across state lines? Why can't we have a uniform federal ruling that allows shipment across state lines? This goes into global shipping. For example: A Malt like Springbank 21 (700 ml) at Masters of Malt retails for $220ish. Even if I bought only one bottle and paid $40 for ship on the 1 bottle, it is still cheaper than purchasing the 750 ml US version for $390ish. Where do you think a savvy consumer would buy? How will US retail stay competitive in the global marketplace at this rate? In an ideal world where you can sell more volume online, what do you want to see changed?

‘What to drink when you’re not drinking’ Ben has had a lengthy and successful career in branding, having worked in some of the world’s biggest drinks companies and luxury brands. Being the natural visionary that he is, he then set his sights on creating an innovation that could bring everything he loved and has known about into one place that could have a real reason to exist in people’s lives. And he was hell-bent on solving the dilemma of ‘what to drink when you’re not drinking.’ Enter Seedlip. Listen as Ben talks about how his 300-year-old farming heritage, love for food and cooking, a book written in the 18th century called The Art of Distillation, and his extensive experience in branding came all together to create the world’s first non-alcoholic spirit. It’s all in your mind When we decide to start our journey to become alcohol free, one of the realities that we always have to face and overcome is societal pressure. Among other things, we have this fear of being singled out for not drinking. What we must also realize is that so much of drinking is psychology – routines and behavior we’ve been conditioned into believing. With this in mind, Seedlip offers a no-compromise solution. Ben expertly captures this in this interview: “If you walk up to the bar and (someone else) orders a gin and tonic and (another) orders a whisky and coke, then I can order a Seedlip and tonic, and the bartender’s gonna do exactly the same thing in front of all of us . . . we all get the same experience, we all feel ‘part-of.’“ An adult drink with adult flavors Ben also relates here in detail how Seedlip is made. He explains how each raw, natural ingredient is steeped at extended periods of time and carefully distilled to get the best flavor and highest quality aromas. This is not your ordinary fruit juice or ‘sugary, fizzy drinks.’ Currently, Seedlip has two varieties on offer: Seedlip Spice 94, an aromatic and complex blend of individual copper-pot distillates including Oak, Allspice Berries and Grapefruit peel; and Seedlip Garden 108, a green and floral blend of individual copper-pot distillates including handpicked peas and hay, and traditional herbs including spearmint, rosemary and thyme. Seedlip is available in some of UK’s finest Michelin Star restaurants, hotels and retailers including The Ledbury, The Savoy and Selfridges. Accordingly, they’ll be launching their third product this year. And they’re planning to expand and conquer the world – well bars, restaurants, hotels and retailers mostly – starting with some key cities in the US and Western Europe soon. Ben quips, “If you can go to a bar and choose between 10 amazing alcoholic cocktails, and 10 amazing non-alcoholic cocktails, that’s a fantastic state to play for the world to be in, is that choice.” LINKS & RESOURCES OYNB Website: https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/ OYNB Faceboook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Oneyearnobeer/ OYNB Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/199505820380513/ OYNB Twitter: https://twitter.com/oynbuk/ OYNB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneyearnobeer/ BEN BRANSON’S LINKS Seedlip Website: https://www.seedlipdrinks.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/seedlipdrinks/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seedlip_ben/
