LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 8 macr

Travelling on a plane with a toddler in

tow is pretty much guaranteed to get your holiday

off to a bad start but not so if that holiday is in Jersey

with a flight time of just 30 minutes from Southampton to Jersey barely had our little boy got over the excitement of take-off when it was time for the excitement of landing all the puzzles toys and books Irsquod brought to keep him entertained on the journey proved to be surplus to requirements

Picking up our luggage at Jersey Airport and collecting our hire car (a Ford Fiesta ndash the perfect size for Jerseyrsquos narrow winding roads) couldnrsquot have been less stressful too and within 45 minutes of arriving on the island we were pulling into the drive at Longueville Manor

It was 11 years since Irsquod last stayed at Longueville ndash long before marriage and my son ndash and the elegant greystone house with wisteria clinging to the walls and a pretty fountain out the front looked just as I remembered it

The doorman greeted us warmly and passed us on to one of the reception staff

who invited us to take a seat on a sofa in the lobby before coming to sit down with us she welcomed my husband and son to the hotel and welcomed me back handing me a form to check with all my contact details from my previous stay ndash I couldnrsquot believe the hotel kept guest records going back that far

Address details amended it was time to talk through our requirements for the next two nights would we like a newspaper and tea or coffee brought to our room in the mornings what time would we like the turn-down service would we like a room service dinner for our son what spa treatments would we like

We really felt like our every need would be taken care of and nothing would be too much trouble during our stay

That feeling grew when we were shown to our room (it was ready for us despite it only being midday) to find on the little dining table a platter piled high with fresh fruits for us to enjoy (apples pears bananas blueberries strawberries raspberries figs even an avocado) along with jars filled with jelly beans chocolate buttons and toasted coconut for Barney (aged two-and-a-half) and a half-bottle of Champagne on ice for us

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable

staff the splendour of the old manor house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel

and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville

you really do get the best of the best

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

REVITALISING LONGUEVILLE

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

pureacutee dried apricot and a caper and tarragon salsa and a well made and delicious crab butternut squash and mascarpone risotto

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

Barney really didnrsquot want to go home either and he still talks about wanting to go back to the hotel even now

Wersquoll definitely return one day ndash but we certainly wonrsquot leave it 11 years this time

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 8 macr

Travelling on a plane with a toddler in

tow is pretty much guaranteed to get your holiday

off to a bad start but not so if that holiday is in Jersey

with a flight time of just 30 minutes from Southampton to Jersey barely had our little boy got over the excitement of take-off when it was time for the excitement of landing all the puzzles toys and books Irsquod brought to keep him entertained on the journey proved to be surplus to requirements

Picking up our luggage at Jersey Airport and collecting our hire car (a Ford Fiesta ndash the perfect size for Jerseyrsquos narrow winding roads) couldnrsquot have been less stressful too and within 45 minutes of arriving on the island we were pulling into the drive at Longueville Manor

It was 11 years since Irsquod last stayed at Longueville ndash long before marriage and my son ndash and the elegant greystone house with wisteria clinging to the walls and a pretty fountain out the front looked just as I remembered it

The doorman greeted us warmly and passed us on to one of the reception staff

who invited us to take a seat on a sofa in the lobby before coming to sit down with us she welcomed my husband and son to the hotel and welcomed me back handing me a form to check with all my contact details from my previous stay ndash I couldnrsquot believe the hotel kept guest records going back that far

Address details amended it was time to talk through our requirements for the next two nights would we like a newspaper and tea or coffee brought to our room in the mornings what time would we like the turn-down service would we like a room service dinner for our son what spa treatments would we like

We really felt like our every need would be taken care of and nothing would be too much trouble during our stay

That feeling grew when we were shown to our room (it was ready for us despite it only being midday) to find on the little dining table a platter piled high with fresh fruits for us to enjoy (apples pears bananas blueberries strawberries raspberries figs even an avocado) along with jars filled with jelly beans chocolate buttons and toasted coconut for Barney (aged two-and-a-half) and a half-bottle of Champagne on ice for us

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable

staff the splendour of the old manor house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel

and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

REVITALISING LONGUEVILLE

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

Regional airline group Flybe (flybecom) offers direct connections from Jersey into Norfolk during the summer season ndash in 2015 this being 2nd May until 19th September ndash with a Saturday service outbound departing 905am arriving 1020am and inbound departing 11am arriving 1220pm Short travels more time to enjoy

Comfort is appointed to a

high standard in order to

create a quiet relaxed and

indulgent stay to recharge your

batteries and with its well-

maintained grounds Morston

historical connection with the

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 8 macr

Travelling on a plane with a toddler in

tow is pretty much guaranteed to get your holiday

off to a bad start but not so if that holiday is in Jersey

with a flight time of just 30 minutes from Southampton to Jersey barely had our little boy got over the excitement of take-off when it was time for the excitement of landing all the puzzles toys and books Irsquod brought to keep him entertained on the journey proved to be surplus to requirements

Picking up our luggage at Jersey Airport and collecting our hire car (a Ford Fiesta ndash the perfect size for Jerseyrsquos narrow winding roads) couldnrsquot have been less stressful too and within 45 minutes of arriving on the island we were pulling into the drive at Longueville Manor

It was 11 years since Irsquod last stayed at Longueville ndash long before marriage and my son ndash and the elegant greystone house with wisteria clinging to the walls and a pretty fountain out the front looked just as I remembered it

The doorman greeted us warmly and passed us on to one of the reception staff

who invited us to take a seat on a sofa in the lobby before coming to sit down with us she welcomed my husband and son to the hotel and welcomed me back handing me a form to check with all my contact details from my previous stay ndash I couldnrsquot believe the hotel kept guest records going back that far

Address details amended it was time to talk through our requirements for the next two nights would we like a newspaper and tea or coffee brought to our room in the mornings what time would we like the turn-down service would we like a room service dinner for our son what spa treatments would we like

We really felt like our every need would be taken care of and nothing would be too much trouble during our stay

That feeling grew when we were shown to our room (it was ready for us despite it only being midday) to find on the little dining table a platter piled high with fresh fruits for us to enjoy (apples pears bananas blueberries strawberries raspberries figs even an avocado) along with jars filled with jelly beans chocolate buttons and toasted coconut for Barney (aged two-and-a-half) and a half-bottle of Champagne on ice for us

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 9 macr

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable

staff the splendour of the old manor house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel

and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville

you really do get the best of the best

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

REVITALISING LONGUEVILLE

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

pureacutee dried apricot and a caper and tarragon salsa and a well made and delicious crab butternut squash and mascarpone risotto

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

Wersquoll definitely return one day ndash but we certainly wonrsquot leave it 11 years this time

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

In the astonishing flat landscape of salt marshes open skies reed swaying in the wind and dunes where broom and rapeseed gleam in yellows make sure you take full advantage of the beautiful scenery off the dynamic coastline the river Stiffkey ndash running from Swanton Novers

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

Regional airline group Flybe (flybecom) offers direct connections from Jersey into Norfolk during the summer season ndash in 2015 this being 2nd May until 19th September ndash with a Saturday service outbound departing 905am arriving 1020am and inbound departing 11am arriving 1220pm Short travels more time to enjoy

Travelling on a plane with a toddler in

tow is pretty much guaranteed to get your holiday

off to a bad start but not so if that holiday is in Jersey

with a flight time of just 30 minutes from Southampton to Jersey barely had our little boy got over the excitement of take-off when it was time for the excitement of landing all the puzzles toys and books Irsquod brought to keep him entertained on the journey proved to be surplus to requirements

Picking up our luggage at Jersey Airport and collecting our hire car (a Ford Fiesta ndash the perfect size for Jerseyrsquos narrow winding roads) couldnrsquot have been less stressful too and within 45 minutes of arriving on the island we were pulling into the drive at Longueville Manor

It was 11 years since Irsquod last stayed at Longueville ndash long before marriage and my son ndash and the elegant greystone house with wisteria clinging to the walls and a pretty fountain out the front looked just as I remembered it

The doorman greeted us warmly and passed us on to one of the reception staff

who invited us to take a seat on a sofa in the lobby before coming to sit down with us she welcomed my husband and son to the hotel and welcomed me back handing me a form to check with all my contact details from my previous stay ndash I couldnrsquot believe the hotel kept guest records going back that far

Address details amended it was time to talk through our requirements for the next two nights would we like a newspaper and tea or coffee brought to our room in the mornings what time would we like the turn-down service would we like a room service dinner for our son what spa treatments would we like

We really felt like our every need would be taken care of and nothing would be too much trouble during our stay

That feeling grew when we were shown to our room (it was ready for us despite it only being midday) to find on the little dining table a platter piled high with fresh fruits for us to enjoy (apples pears bananas blueberries strawberries raspberries figs even an avocado) along with jars filled with jelly beans chocolate buttons and toasted coconut for Barney (aged two-and-a-half) and a half-bottle of Champagne on ice for us

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable

staff the splendour of the old manor house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel

and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville

you really do get the best of the best

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

Wersquoll definitely return one day ndash but we certainly wonrsquot leave it 11 years this time

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 8 macr

Travelling on a plane with a toddler in

tow is pretty much guaranteed to get your holiday

off to a bad start but not so if that holiday is in Jersey

with a flight time of just 30 minutes from Southampton to Jersey barely had our little boy got over the excitement of take-off when it was time for the excitement of landing all the puzzles toys and books Irsquod brought to keep him entertained on the journey proved to be surplus to requirements

Picking up our luggage at Jersey Airport and collecting our hire car (a Ford Fiesta ndash the perfect size for Jerseyrsquos narrow winding roads) couldnrsquot have been less stressful too and within 45 minutes of arriving on the island we were pulling into the drive at Longueville Manor

It was 11 years since Irsquod last stayed at Longueville ndash long before marriage and my son ndash and the elegant greystone house with wisteria clinging to the walls and a pretty fountain out the front looked just as I remembered it

The doorman greeted us warmly and passed us on to one of the reception staff

who invited us to take a seat on a sofa in the lobby before coming to sit down with us she welcomed my husband and son to the hotel and welcomed me back handing me a form to check with all my contact details from my previous stay ndash I couldnrsquot believe the hotel kept guest records going back that far

Address details amended it was time to talk through our requirements for the next two nights would we like a newspaper and tea or coffee brought to our room in the mornings what time would we like the turn-down service would we like a room service dinner for our son what spa treatments would we like

We really felt like our every need would be taken care of and nothing would be too much trouble during our stay

That feeling grew when we were shown to our room (it was ready for us despite it only being midday) to find on the little dining table a platter piled high with fresh fruits for us to enjoy (apples pears bananas blueberries strawberries raspberries figs even an avocado) along with jars filled with jelly beans chocolate buttons and toasted coconut for Barney (aged two-and-a-half) and a half-bottle of Champagne on ice for us

FIONA GRIFFITHS DISCOVERS THE DELIGHTS OF JERSEY FROM THE FAMILY FRIENDLY COMFORT OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR

LUXURIOUS

LOVELY LONGUEVILLE

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 9 macr

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable

staff the splendour of the old manor house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel

and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville

you really do get the best of the best

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

Wersquoll definitely return one day ndash but we certainly wonrsquot leave it 11 years this time

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 8 macr

Travelling on a plane with a toddler in

tow is pretty much guaranteed to get your holiday

off to a bad start but not so if that holiday is in Jersey

with a flight time of just 30 minutes from Southampton to Jersey barely had our little boy got over the excitement of take-off when it was time for the excitement of landing all the puzzles toys and books Irsquod brought to keep him entertained on the journey proved to be surplus to requirements

Picking up our luggage at Jersey Airport and collecting our hire car (a Ford Fiesta ndash the perfect size for Jerseyrsquos narrow winding roads) couldnrsquot have been less stressful too and within 45 minutes of arriving on the island we were pulling into the drive at Longueville Manor

It was 11 years since Irsquod last stayed at Longueville ndash long before marriage and my son ndash and the elegant greystone house with wisteria clinging to the walls and a pretty fountain out the front looked just as I remembered it

The doorman greeted us warmly and passed us on to one of the reception staff

who invited us to take a seat on a sofa in the lobby before coming to sit down with us she welcomed my husband and son to the hotel and welcomed me back handing me a form to check with all my contact details from my previous stay ndash I couldnrsquot believe the hotel kept guest records going back that far

Address details amended it was time to talk through our requirements for the next two nights would we like a newspaper and tea or coffee brought to our room in the mornings what time would we like the turn-down service would we like a room service dinner for our son what spa treatments would we like

We really felt like our every need would be taken care of and nothing would be too much trouble during our stay

That feeling grew when we were shown to our room (it was ready for us despite it only being midday) to find on the little dining table a platter piled high with fresh fruits for us to enjoy (apples pears bananas blueberries strawberries raspberries figs even an avocado) along with jars filled with jelly beans chocolate buttons and toasted coconut for Barney (aged two-and-a-half) and a half-bottle of Champagne on ice for us

FIONA GRIFFITHS DISCOVERS THE DELIGHTS OF JERSEY FROM THE FAMILY FRIENDLY COMFORT OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR

LOVELY LONGUEVILLE

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 9 macr

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable

staff the splendour of the old manor house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel

and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville

you really do get the best of the best

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

Wersquoll definitely return one day ndash but we certainly wonrsquot leave it 11 years this time

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Travelling on a plane with a toddler in

tow is pretty much guaranteed to get your holiday

off to a bad start but not so if that holiday is in Jersey

with a flight time of just 30 minutes from Southampton to Jersey barely had our little boy got over the excitement of take-off when it was time for the excitement of landing all the puzzles toys and books Irsquod brought to keep him entertained on the journey proved to be surplus to requirements

Picking up our luggage at Jersey Airport and collecting our hire car (a Ford Fiesta ndash the perfect size for Jerseyrsquos narrow winding roads) couldnrsquot have been less stressful too and within 45 minutes of arriving on the island we were pulling into the drive at Longueville Manor

It was 11 years since Irsquod last stayed at Longueville ndash long before marriage and my son ndash and the elegant greystone house with wisteria clinging to the walls and a pretty fountain out the front looked just as I remembered it

The doorman greeted us warmly and passed us on to one of the reception staff

who invited us to take a seat on a sofa in the lobby before coming to sit down with us she welcomed my husband and son to the hotel and welcomed me back handing me a form to check with all my contact details from my previous stay ndash I couldnrsquot believe the hotel kept guest records going back that far

Address details amended it was time to talk through our requirements for the next two nights would we like a newspaper and tea or coffee brought to our room in the mornings what time would we like the turn-down service would we like a room service dinner for our son what spa treatments would we like

We really felt like our every need would be taken care of and nothing would be too much trouble during our stay

That feeling grew when we were shown to our room (it was ready for us despite it only being midday) to find on the little dining table a platter piled high with fresh fruits for us to enjoy (apples pears bananas blueberries strawberries raspberries figs even an avocado) along with jars filled with jelly beans chocolate buttons and toasted coconut for Barney (aged two-and-a-half) and a half-bottle of Champagne on ice for us

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 8 macr

Travelling on a plane with a toddler in

tow is pretty much guaranteed to get your holiday

off to a bad start but not so if that holiday is in Jersey

with a flight time of just 30 minutes from Southampton to Jersey barely had our little boy got over the excitement of take-off when it was time for the excitement of landing all the puzzles toys and books Irsquod brought to keep him entertained on the journey proved to be surplus to requirements

Picking up our luggage at Jersey Airport and collecting our hire car (a Ford Fiesta ndash the perfect size for Jerseyrsquos narrow winding roads) couldnrsquot have been less stressful too and within 45 minutes of arriving on the island we were pulling into the drive at Longueville Manor

It was 11 years since Irsquod last stayed at Longueville ndash long before marriage and my son ndash and the elegant greystone house with wisteria clinging to the walls and a pretty fountain out the front looked just as I remembered it

The doorman greeted us warmly and passed us on to one of the reception staff

who invited us to take a seat on a sofa in the lobby before coming to sit down with us she welcomed my husband and son to the hotel and welcomed me back handing me a form to check with all my contact details from my previous stay ndash I couldnrsquot believe the hotel kept guest records going back that far

Address details amended it was time to talk through our requirements for the next two nights would we like a newspaper and tea or coffee brought to our room in the mornings what time would we like the turn-down service would we like a room service dinner for our son what spa treatments would we like

We really felt like our every need would be taken care of and nothing would be too much trouble during our stay

That feeling grew when we were shown to our room (it was ready for us despite it only being midday) to find on the little dining table a platter piled high with fresh fruits for us to enjoy (apples pears bananas blueberries strawberries raspberries figs even an avocado) along with jars filled with jelly beans chocolate buttons and toasted coconut for Barney (aged two-and-a-half) and a half-bottle of Champagne on ice for us

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

nd over those 25 years hersquos built up strong relationships with local

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

He continues ldquoThe lsquoRelay for Lifersquo is due to be a fabulous family event bringing the whole community together for something really special Therersquos nothing else like it on the Island ndash the atmosphere is set to be electric and everyone involved is guaranteed to have a great time It will very much be a celebration of life with a mix of music and games adding to the party spirit and providing entertainment throughout the nightrdquo

country-house style luxury retreat opened in 1992 where his restaurant

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and

orange muffins ndash a nice touch

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 10 macr

It was the first time Barney would be sleeping in a single bed rather than a cot-bed so the housekeeping staff had provided a side barrier to stop him rolling out plus on the bed waiting for him was a mini towelling dressing gown (a replica in miniature of the ones provided for Mummy and Daddy in the bathroom) and a brand new story book as a gift from the hotel Barney was thrilled with it all and so was I

Our room ndash a Deluxe double with patio doors out onto the garden bringing in lots of light ndash was beautifully furnished in a modern country-house style with a sofa for lounging on a supremely comfortable king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a deep bath and a separate powerful shower The high quality REN toiletries in the bathroom were just the icing on the cake

We were feeling rather hungry so after a short time settling into our room we headed back to the lobby with lunch on our minds We only wanted something light and were told we could take the bar menu either in the lounge or in the restaurant ndash if only every luxury five-red-star hotel had such a flexible approach

Knowing Barney would stay put if he was in a highchair at a dining table we decided to eat in the restaurant It was busy ndash surprisingly so for a Monday in February ndash and I was a little anxious about how the other guests would

react to having a toddler in their midst especially as many of them seemed to be enjoying a special meal in what are undoubtedly special surroundings but the staff were well prepared with activity packs and coloring books and pencils They gave Barney lots of attention and certainly helped put my husband Richard and I at ease

We knew wersquod be giving the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu a full workout later that evening so sandwiches seemed the perfect choice for lunch I canrsquot resist a fresh crab sandwich and theyrsquore hard to find in restaurants back home but in Jersey theyrsquore pretty much a menu staple Longueville Manorrsquos version was particularly fine packed full of

super-fresh white crabmeat (from the ubiquitous chancre ndash or brown ndash crab) and served with crisps and a delightful mixture of fresh baby leaves Barney was in heaven with his large cheese sandwich (Irsquove never seen a child so small eat six sandwich triangles) and Richard couldnrsquot fault his burger with chunky chips

Therersquos no doubt about it this Channel Island has it all ndash dramatic cliffs long golden beaches crystal clear waters plenty of open countryside where the famous Jersey Royals are grown and pretty Jersey cows graze ndash and the best thing about it is that at just nine miles by five if you hire a car you can explore it all even if yoursquore just visiting for a few days

Although the roads are tiny and the traffic in St Helier can get quite heavy around rush hour driving around the island was a pleasant experience I was certainly struck by the friendliness of the people (I lost count of the number of times people let me out a junction) and by how French the island feels Many of the street and place names are French (as is the hotelrsquos name of course) and much of the architecture reminded me of Normandy (just a stonersquos throw away across the Channel) but at the same time with a Marks amp Spencer or a Co-Op in almost every parish and English speakers everywhere the island is unmistakably British (so no passport required)

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

nd over those 25 years hersquos built up strong relationships with local

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

Going home the following day there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable staff the splendour of the old manor

house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville you really do get the best of the best

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

ur family is a three generation family

A working family We love family And

we love design Three years ago nineteen year

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

country-house style luxury retreat opened in 1992 where his restaurant

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Therersquos a strong sense of community too which I guess comes from Jersey having its own government and currency (Jersey pounds although you can pay with ordinary sterling) and strict rules about who can buy property

Longueville Manor is within easy reach of one of Jerseyrsquos true gems the fishing village of Gorey Perched on the east coast ndash on the closest headland to France ndash the village is dominated by the imposing edifice of Mont Orgueil castle sitting on a tall granite outcrop The picturesque harbour is full of fishing boats and the long sandy beach is unsurprisingly popular for sunbathing and swimming in the summer or walking in the winter We walked along the beach looking for shells before heading to the sandy play area at the back of the beach where Barney was in his element playing on the swings slides and climbing frames the sun was shining the sea was an azure blue and in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

Back at the hotel Barney had his room service dinner of omelette with green beans (one of his favourites which he tucked into with gusto) and once Richard and I were ready to go down to dinner and Barney was dressed in his pyjamas for bed our babysitter Cassie arrived She had such a friendly manner that Barney took to her straight away and we had no qualms about leaving him after only a few minutes of meeting her

Dinner on our first night was an exceptional experience beginning with drinks in the bar in front of a blazing

fire and a warm welcome from front-of-house maestro (and Managing Director of the hotel) Pedro Bento Pedro a master sommelier and all round master of the art of service is the sort of man who leaves a lasting impression and I certainly remembered him from my stay 11 years earlier (and I was amazed that he remembered me too) He couldnrsquot do enough for us during our visit and always had a smile on his face especially for Barney

The whole of the ldquoagrave la carterdquo menu sounded fantastic so much so that I was struggling to choose what to have Happily though there was the perfect solution almost every dish I wanted to try was on the tasting ndash or ldquoDiscoveryrdquo ndash menu so that was it decision made

Now Irsquove had tasting menus in many restaurants before but Irsquove been slightly put off going down that route because there are usually one or two dishes I donrsquot like and sometimes the portion sizes can be too big for a multi-course affair But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos Discovery menu was a revelation

It was a showcase for some of the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood to which Andrew had taken a fairly restrained approach whilst at the same time demonstrating no shortage of technical skill and some clever flavour and texture combinations

A first course of local deep water crab sweet pickled cucumber melon avocado and warm crab claw was an exercise in simplicity and freshness with a pleasing contrast between the cold white crabmeat and the warm tempura-battered claw

But Executive Head Chef Andrew Bairdrsquos discovery menu was a revelation It was a showcase for some of

the islandrsquos finest freshest seafood

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 14 macr

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 15 macr

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The sun was shining the sea was an azure blue in this sheltered sandy spot it was almost hard to believe it was only February

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 16 macr

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

pureacutee dried apricot and a caper and tarragon salsa and a well made and delicious crab butternut squash and mascarpone risotto

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

Going home the following day there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable staff the splendour of the old manor

house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville you really do get the best of the best

Barney really didnrsquot want to go home either and he still talks about wanting to go back to the hotel even now

Wersquoll definitely return one day ndash but we certainly wonrsquot leave it 11 years this time

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

nd over those 25 years hersquos built up strong relationships with local

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

He continues ldquoThe lsquoRelay for Lifersquo is due to be a fabulous family event bringing the whole community together for something really special Therersquos nothing else like it on the Island ndash the atmosphere is set to be electric and everyone involved is guaranteed to have a great time It will very much be a celebration of life with a mix of music and games adding to the party spirit and providing entertainment throughout the nightrdquo

country-house style luxury retreat opened in 1992 where his restaurant

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Next up the butter poached local lobster with shumai and Asian broth was a dish that will linger in the memory for a good long time the lobster was beautifully cooked the soft shumai dumpling was skilfully executed and packed with flavour and the Thai flavours in the sauce brought the whole dish together to stunning effect (I could have eaten that dish all night)

Grilled line-caught local seabass was perfectly cooked and as fresh as can be and came in a winning combination with a fennel salad tiger prawns and ratatouille while the meat course was equally well thought out and cooked to perfection best end of Lough Erne lamb (full of flavour) with unctuous braised shoulder potato gratin baby globe artichoke and a moreish oregano jus

Cheese followed ndash a well-made and suitably small goatrsquos cheese fondant with caramelised red onions and apple and celeriac salad ndash before a refreshing and rather clever pre-dessert of pintildea colada with a macadamia nut crumble and glazed pineapple

The main event pudding was a baked apple terrine with Jersey Black Butter bavarois caramelised apple and Calvados ice cream ndash the perfect light and fresh-tasting dessert after all that had gone before

What with the lovely homemade breads ndash three different types ndash the canapeacutes the petit fours and the excellent

accompanying wine choices from Pedrorsquos right-hand man it was certainly a meal to remember

Having eaten so well we slept well that night (Barney did too) and in the morning our tea and some warm milk for Barney arrived as requested along with the extra little surprise of some mini blueberry and orange muffins ndash a nice touch

Breakfast like every meal we had during our stay was extremely good particularly the full English the eggs Florentine and the croissants and pastries (and the coffee)

When it was time for my treatment in The Cottage Garden spa Richard took Barney off to explore the grounds ndash the 18-acre estate

encompasses an ornamental lake woodland trails swimming pool tennis court and beautiful gardens including an abundant kitchen garden and small playground for the children

Secreted away within the gardens but just a stonersquos throw from the main house the hotelrsquos newly added boutique mini spa is the perfect retreat to escape to for a pampering treatment or simply a relaxing sit in the outdoor hot tub With only one treatment room guests get a very personal one-to-one experience which I found was quite a contrast to other larger spas Irsquove been to in the past

From the comprehensive list of REN treatments I chose the lsquoUltimate Body Scrubrsquo which turned out to be very aptly named Beauty therapist Lana used RENrsquos mineral rich exfoliating body balm along with body massage techniques to buff away my dead skin cells from top to toe Then I stepped into the shower for a good rinse before lying back down on the bed for Lana to apply RENrsquos rich and heavenly scented rose body cream all over The hour-long treatment was both invigorating and relaxing and Lana certainly made me feel at ease with her friendly calming nature

On our second night (Barney having enjoyed lightly battered lemon sole chips and petits pois for dinner and happily in the care of babysitter Chloeuml) we headed back to Gorey again to dine at the hotelrsquos sister restaurant Sumas

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

cotta ndash but in the end I settled on the hot chocolate fondant with mango pureacutee pistachio and juniper ice cream while Richard went for the vanilla soaked pineapple citrus meringue and spiced blueberry ice cream which were both as pretty as a picture on the plate and a joy to eat

Going home the following day there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable staff the splendour of the old manor

house along with its comfortable home-from-home feel and most of all the exceptional food the fresh produce in Jersey ndash be it fish meat dairy fruit or vegetables ndash is second to none and at Longueville you really do get the best of the best

Barney really didnrsquot want to go home either and he still talks about wanting to go back to the hotel even now

Wersquoll definitely return one day ndash but we certainly wonrsquot leave it 11 years this time

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

In an elevated position overlooking the harbour Sumas has fantastic views With a newly enlarged terrace that allows for either full cover or full exposure to the elements depending on the weather and season the vista is there for diners to enjoy al fresco all year round

That said looking out at the twinkling lights in the harbour and with the moon illuminating the boats bobbing up and down on the water it was certainly a romantic setting even in winter

The restaurant is fairly small and has a great atmosphere ndash you can imagine that it really buzzes on a Friday and Saturday and in the height of the Summer

Therersquos plenty of that fantastic Jersey seafood on the menu but it doesnrsquot dominate with lots of meatier options vying for your attention too

As itrsquos not often you get to eat seafood of such quality we went down the fishy route with starters of seared local scallops (fat juicy scallops perfectly cooked) with a parsnip and ginger

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

Going home the following day there were many things about Longueville we would miss the friendly unfailingly hospitable staff the splendour of the old manor

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 32 macr

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

ur family is a three generation family

A working family We love family And

we love design Three years ago nineteen year

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

For details about the unique jewellery gifts and services available at Catherine Best visit the Windmill in St Peter or the website wwwcatherinebestcomT +44 (0)1534 485777 E jerseycatherinebestcom

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Jewellery should be worn not neglected Donrsquot leave it to gather dust in a box out of sight simply call into Catherine Best and have a chat with the team

country-house style luxury retreat opened in 1992 where his restaurant

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

Next up we both couldnrsquot resist the pan-fried local brill (a beautiful piece of fish) on a bed of crab and herb crushed potato (delicious) with seasonal vegetables and a light lemongrass and chervil velouteacute

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

nd over those 25 years hersquos built up strong relationships with local

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

country-house style luxury retreat opened in 1992 where his restaurant

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

rummells Exclusive Menswear opened during the summer of 2014 Having

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

Royal Square are the impressive premises of

E J Gallichan Jerseys oldest jewellers The historic building is regarded as a notable landmark with its distinctive brass edge shop front and wall mounted clock It has been the home of the business for 170 years Very little has changed since those early days when Gallichans opened as watch makers and jewellers in 1845 The premises may be larger with a wider range of stock but the shop still retained all its old world charm and friendly personal service

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

engagement and eternity rings and beautiful examples of pearl jewellery including freshwater cultured pearls from

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Dessert was a tough choice ndash I was equally tempted by Sumas lime tart and the tangerine panna

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

engagement and eternity rings and beautiful examples of pearl jewellery including freshwater cultured pearls from

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

eing the owner of Jerseyrsquos leading five-star hotel involves a

frenetic schedule unpredictable hours and a heavy dose of

responsibility However Malcolm Lewis has identified the perfect way to escape the furor and relax with the family by taking to the ocean on his Princess 42 Flybridge

Malcolm purchased his boat in 2014 He knew the model had a worthy heritage having been well documented as one of the longest production run models ever built He explains that he did not procrastinate on the brand ldquoPrincess is a brand of distinction I feel it stands apart from the rest giving an impression of understated sophistication Ultimately I wanted something that was reliable elegant and functional and this boat ticks all the right boxes for merdquo

Malcolm wanted to take quixotic trips with his wife Patricia as well as exploratory family days out with their young children Malcolm says ldquoThe clever design and functionality create a spacious environment that is perfect for a familyrdquo He enthuses ldquoI love the lsquoTardisrsquo feel ndash by that I donrsquot mean to channel Dr Who I just mean that it has an interior that feels much larger than its exterior ndash itrsquos a great boat for thatrdquo

The Lewis family enjoy letting their hair down on the ocean and the tang of the sea air the exhilaration of speed and the relaxation of drifting sunwards is what itrsquos all about Theyrsquove now chosen to share this experience

MALCOLM LEWIS OWNER OF LONGUEVILLE MANOR TELLS US ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ENHANCE HIS GUESTSrsquo EXPERIENCE BY LAUNCHING HIS FAMILY BOAT FOR CHARTER ENABLING THEM TO DISCOVER THE ISLANDrsquoS UNIQUENESS FROM A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

JerseyCREW

THE

I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memories

with their hotel guests as they launch their Princess for private charter for the first time ldquoWe are hugely excited to be launching the boat for charterrdquo says Malcolm ldquoItrsquos strictly for our hotel guests at Longueville and we believe it sits perfectly within our luxury proposition I canrsquot wait to share unique experiences with our guests such as dolphin spotting at the Minquiers picnics on Sark or snorkeling on one of Jerseyrsquos beautiful offshore reefs We hope to create some wonderful memoriesrdquo

When Longueville guests arenrsquot indulging in the boatrsquos maritime luxury the boat will remain true to its primary function as a family vessel Malcolm says ldquoMy main objective is simply lots of fun and family time Our children are also starting to benefit from the sense of responsibility that can be gained from learning about a boat and how to crew and that is fundamentally important to merdquo Many family trips are already in the planning for this season and their favourite local destination lsquoHermrsquo is high on the agenda Herm is one of the smaller islands in the Channel archipelago just off the Normandy Coast Malcolm enthusiastically describes ldquoA trip to Shell Beach on Herm is our favourite day out Herm is one of the smallest of the Channel Islands at only 15miles long by half a mile wide There are no cars just bountiful natural beauty so itrsquos a real escape back to simpler times and a place we like to enjoy with the kids where we can reconnect and have fun without distractionsrdquo

When Malcolm and Patricia take a trip lsquoagrave deuxrsquo they like to head a little further afield and their base in Jersey offers countless opportunities They adore the dramatic cape that sticks out from the Cocircte drsquoEmeraude in Northern Brittany called Saint-Cast ldquoItrsquos fantastic for yachts as it has a new deep-water marina and itrsquos a really beautiful part of the Brittany coastlinerdquo says Malcolm ldquoThe beach offers the perfect seaside experience with golden sands contained and protected by bays and cliffs The resort is charmingly authentic a real taste of Brittany along with a well preserved sense of history and culture yet the amenities are sophisticated and extensive When we visit Patricia and I like to take a leisurely walk into the town which has great restaurants and shopping and enjoy the relaxed but quintessentially French ambiancerdquo

They also encourage the yachting community to visit them in Jersey an Island that attracts boats the world over thanks to its charm and natural beauty Malcolm is obviously a wonderful advocate for his home Island and describes it with great fondness ldquoThere is so much for visiting boating people to do on Jersey when they arrive An Island coastal tour is a must ndash you can do this by boat by foot or by canoe if yoursquore feeling adventurous Water pursuits are prominent in Jersey too so itrsquos a great place for surfing kite surfing coasteering and scuba diving We are also totally spoilt

For more information on Longueville Manor please visit wwwlonguevillemanorcom For more information on the Barclays Jersey Boat Show please visit wwwjerseyboatshowcom

when it comes to amazing restaurants of all types and the shopping attracts quite a crowd toordquo

Gastronomy is obviously a major draw when visiting the Channel Islands and Normandy coast Malcolm admits ldquoWe do absolutely no cooking on board except using the kettle and microwave However that doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot eat a lot on board For us food of the region is very much part of the boating experience and we are likely

to indulge in French pastries fresh salads charcuterie and amazing seafood from the Channel Islands such as lobster and crabrdquo

The Lewis family will be showcasing their boat for charter at this yearrsquos Barclays Jersey Boat Show from Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th May Malcolm concludes ldquoThe Jersey Boat Show is a major event that brings everyone together and we intend to be at the heart of that this year as we launch our boat for private charter to our hotel residentsrdquo

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

rummells Exclusive Menswear opened during the summer of 2014 Having

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

E J Gallichan Jerseys oldest jewellers The historic building is regarded as a notable landmark with its distinctive brass edge shop front and wall mounted clock It has been the home of the business for 170 years Very little has changed since those early days when Gallichans opened as watch makers and jewellers in 1845 The premises may be larger with a wider range of stock but the shop still retained all its old world charm and friendly personal service

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

In the astonishing flat landscape of salt marshes open skies reed swaying in the wind and dunes where broom and rapeseed gleam in yellows make sure you take full advantage of the beautiful scenery off the dynamic coastline the river Stiffkey ndash running from Swanton Novers

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

Regional airline group Flybe (flybecom) offers direct connections from Jersey into Norfolk during the summer season ndash in 2015 this being 2nd May until 19th September ndash with a Saturday service outbound departing 905am arriving 1020am and inbound departing 11am arriving 1220pm Short travels more time to enjoy

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

nd over those 25 years hersquos built up strong relationships with local

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 32 macr

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

rummells Exclusive Menswear opened during the summer of 2014 Having

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

E J Gallichan Jerseys oldest jewellers The historic building is regarded as a notable landmark with its distinctive brass edge shop front and wall mounted clock It has been the home of the business for 170 years Very little has changed since those early days when Gallichans opened as watch makers and jewellers in 1845 The premises may be larger with a wider range of stock but the shop still retained all its old world charm and friendly personal service

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

engagement and eternity rings and beautiful examples of pearl jewellery including freshwater cultured pearls from

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

n fact our seas are home to a third of the worldrsquos grey seals not to mention the

second largest living fish ndash the basking shark ndash and 23 species of whale and dolphin from humpback and sperm whale to the majestic orca

Beneath the waves we also have some of the finest marine habitats in Europe rocky reefs covered in soft corals brightly coloured sea fans and sponges carpets of delicate maerl (a purple-pink hard seaweed) flowering seagrass and beds of pretty flame shells and horse mussels

But these fragile marine habitats and the creatures that live within them are under threat overfishing shipping aggregate extraction recreation and renewable energy developments are all having a dramatic impact on sea life to the extent that some species are being driven to extinction

In large areas of the North Sea the Western Channel Celtic Sea and Irish Sea some trawlers drag beams and chains across the sea floor destroying complex seabed ecosystems in the process harbour seals have declined dramatically in some areas since 2001 and angel shark sturgeon and even the common skate are now critically endangered

However some progress is being made to protect our seas from further damage

In 2013 the government designated 27 sites as Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) designed to protect and aid the recovery of marine habitats and wildlife through either a complete ban on any kind of human disturbance or through measured activities

Another 23 sites are now being considered for MCZ status in a bid to create a UK network of Marine Protected Areas and further sites will be put forward for public consultation in 2016

Whilst the waters surrounding Jersey have not been earmarked for MCZ protection much of the islandrsquos seafood is fished using sustainable practices

The sea here is warmed by the Gulf Stream and is home to a wide range of species including crabs sole plaice turbot and lobsters with some 1200 tonnes of shellfish caught locally every year

King and queen scallops ndash gathered by hand not dredged ndash are one of the great gastronomic treats that await visitors to Jersey (see our interview with scallop diver and Longueville Manor Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird) and are available all year round

LONGUEVILLE MANOR macr 27 macr

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs are found in few places outside France

Another gastronomic delight are the oysters from the Jersey Oyster Companyrsquos 25-hectare farm in the Royal Bay of Grouville which produces around 200 tonnes a year (90 of which are exported to France) In this tranquil spot facing the Normandy coast the oysters benefit directly from the daily natural filtering effect of Jerseyrsquos unique tide and crystal clear water The company also grows mussels in the Royal Bay which are available from mid-summer each year and prized for their particularly sweet and succulent flavour

The mussels known as lsquobouchotrsquo mussels are grown from seed on wooden poles ndash a traditional method prevalent in the Brittany and Normandy regions of France ndash meaning they are always free from grit as they have no contact with the seabed

Guided walks across the mussel and oyster beds at low tide are available ndash for more information visit wwwjerseycom

Crab lovers will be in their element on a visit to Jersey with brown crab ndash also known as chancre crab ndash a fixture on menus throughout the year

However itrsquos the sweet distinctive flesh of the spider crab that the locals really enjoy spider crabs which are found in few

places outside France are migratory and can be caught between April and December but are subject to a partial closure or restriction in September and October

Jerseyrsquos greatest seafood treat of all arguably is the ormer a rare marine snail (from the French lsquooreille de merrsquo - ear of the sea) The Channel Islands mark the northern limit of its habitat and to preserve stocks strict regulations have been applied to the gathering of ormers including the enforcement of a strict ormering season fishing for ormers may only take place between 1st October and 30th April and only on the first day of each new or full moon and the three following days

At very low tide ndash Jersey has the second highest tidal range in the world making the island lsquogrowrsquo by up to a third on the lowest tide ndash during the permitted period you will see Jersey men and women scouring the rocks for ormers

Once found they are prised from the underside of rocks by hand and carried to shore in a traditional ormer basket before being cooked in the oven as a casserole or

served with gravy carrots and onions Sadly ormers are so rare ndash and

fishermen consider themselves so lucky to find them when they do ndash that theyrsquore mostly taken home for personal consumption so yoursquore unlikely to find them on the menu during your stay in Jersey

Still itrsquos not as though yoursquoll be short of wonderful sustainably caught seafood to enjoy on a visit to this beautiful and bountiful island

nd over those 25 years hersquos built up strong relationships with local

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

nd over those 25 years hersquos built up strong relationships with local

fishermen growers and suppliers who all aid him in his resolve to bring the finest and freshest Jersey produce to

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

ldquoI am able to utilise what has been caught more readily than some other restaurants down the road where their menus are set in stone our menus are

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

ccupying a prominent position beside the

Royal Square are the impressive premises of

E J Gallichan Jerseys oldest jewellers The historic building is regarded as a notable landmark with its distinctive brass edge shop front and wall mounted clock It has been the home of the business for 170 years Very little has changed since those early days when Gallichans opened as watch makers and jewellers in 1845 The premises may be larger with a wider range of stock but the shop still retained all its old world charm and friendly personal service

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

engagement and eternity rings and beautiful examples of pearl jewellery including freshwater cultured pearls from

ur family is a three generation family

A working family We love family And

we love design Three years ago nineteen year

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the table at LonguevilleldquoWhatever wersquore using ndash be it lobster

crab scallops ndash we try and source the best ingredients we canrdquo says Andrew

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are so good I donrsquot feel the need to do quirky or thought provoking dishes instead I tend to

go for more classical dishes and just things that I think workrdquo

Andrewrsquos highly flexible approach to menu design ensures that all the seafood in particular is super-fresh

ldquoIf the guys [the fishermen] ring me offering me some red mullet I can put it on the menu tomorrowrdquo says Andrew

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 32 macr

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

Royal Square are the impressive premises of

E J Gallichan Jerseys oldest jewellers The historic building is regarded as a notable landmark with its distinctive brass edge shop front and wall mounted clock It has been the home of the business for 170 years Very little has changed since those early days when Gallichans opened as watch makers and jewellers in 1845 The premises may be larger with a wider range of stock but the shop still retained all its old world charm and friendly personal service

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

engagement and eternity rings and beautiful examples of pearl jewellery including freshwater cultured pearls from

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

reviewed every day and we just use whatever is really really freshrdquo In fact Andrew regularly receives phone calls from fishermen and scallop divers offering him the pick of their catch after he learnt to dive back in the 1990s many of these men became trusted friends rather than merely suppliers and those friendships have continued to this day

ldquoI did a diving course here in Jersey and it was really tough to begin with but then I really got into it Itrsquos a fantastic

sport because you meet so many different people and it gives you an understanding of what kind of fish we have around us how the moon affects the tides and how the fishermen work It has been a real education and enabled me to build up some really positive relationships over the yearsrdquo

He adds ldquoThe only downside to my job is that I am here all the time instead of being outside and able to go diving but I do go diving for scallops whenever I can for pleasure and to keep up my skill levelsrdquo

With constraints on his time and without a commercial license Andew could never catch enough scallops himself to meet the kitchenrsquos needs so he tends to buy from his friend professional scallop diver Andy Romeril

Romeril goes diving for scallops on an almost daily basis (ldquotherersquos always somewhere you can gordquo) and Andrew takes full advantage of his catch (and that of Romerilrsquos friends) the hotel spends around pound50000 a year on hand-dived scallops and theyrsquore used in a number of ways across the menu

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 32 macr

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

ur family is a three generation family

A working family We love family And

we love design Three years ago nineteen year

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

ldquoBecause all the ingredients are

so good I donrsquot feel the need to

do quirky or thought provoking

dishes instead I tend to go for

more classical dishes and just

things that I think workrdquo

says Baird

ANDREW BAIRD

ldquoWe can serve them raw in a dish on their own in shumai [Asian dumplings] maybe in a simple salad with pancetta if somebody wants something quite plain or in the shell with a puff pastry lid on top at Christmas timerdquo says Andrew

ldquoWe spend a lot of money on diver-caught scallops but they are worth every penny You can understand why they are expensive when you think about the hard work involved in gathering them ndash the divers go out in bad weather in freezing cold winds and rain and when the water temperature is down to eight degreesrdquo

And not only does Romeril provide Andrew with tonnes of hand-dived scallops ndash of various sizes ndash he also supplies the choicest fish

Andrew explains ldquoAndy [Romeril] is an amazing spear fisherman as well as a scallop diver and if the tidersquos out he will go out on the wrecks where there will be large cod big pollock ling John Dory turbot brill seabass hersquoll go out with his wetsuit camouflage gear and a spear gun and cherry pick the different species Then he will give me a call ndash we always pay him promptly and pay him a fair price so we always get the pick of the catchrdquo

As well as being very particular about freshness of produce Andrew is determined to make sure that his ingredients are from sustainable sources

By buying from people like Romeril and Vicky Boarder of The Fresh Fish Company (her fresh fish shop down on the harbourside in St Helier is a must visit during your stay) he has complete confidence that all the seafood on his menu is fished sustainably

ldquoThe fishing methods used locally are either rod and line beach nets spear fishing or diving so theyrsquore not damaging to the seabed and with those techniques yoursquore never going to catch big numbers anywayrdquo says Andrew

ldquoWhat we never do is buy from the big commercial pair trawlers that have absolutely decimated the seabass stocks through overfishing off Guernseyrdquo

Having learnt so much about ndash and developed so much respect for ndash the sea the importance of sustainability and the fishing industry in Jersey over the last couple of decades Andrew is keen to pass on his knowledge and passion to the younger generation To that end he often visits local schools to teach youngsters about fish species and how to cook fish

ldquoI have done a lot of work with school kids I might have a John Dory in my hands and Irsquoll ask the kids where they think this fish comes from and I will get answers like South Africa Australia America When I say to them that I have seen this fish literally two metres away from the waterrsquos edge at Bouley Bay they cannot believe itrdquo says Andrew

He is also becoming more involved with the Wet Wheels Jersey project to enable disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages to go out on the water

A charity dinner was held at Longueville Manor in 2012 to launch a pound150000 fundraising drive to build a bespoke powerboat which could take disabled people ndash including those in wheelchairs ndash out to sea safely

The boat came into service in late 2013 and during 2014 28 charities and community organizations ndash including disability groups youth clubs and homeless people ndash enjoyed trips around the Jersey coastline

This summer ndash at the request of Wet Wheels Chief Executive Andy Le Seelleur ndash Andrew will join some of the groups onboard Wet Wheels to catch some fish in one of the local bays before going ashore to talk about the catch and cook it on the barbecue

ldquoThatrsquos one of the beauties of Jersey life ndash people like Andy who bring people together and make things workrdquo says Andrew

ldquoIf I can show people how simple it can be to prepare and cook some freshly caught fish and be instrumental in kids trying things out then thatrsquos fantastic I think that is what local life is all about ndash sharing experiences and keeping traditions aliverdquo

LONGUEVILLE MANORmacr 32 macr

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

For details about the unique jewellery gifts and services available at Catherine Best visit the Windmill in St Peter or the website wwwcatherinebestcomT +44 (0)1534 485777 E jerseycatherinebestcom

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Jewellery should be worn not neglected Donrsquot leave it to gather dust in a box out of sight simply call into Catherine Best and have a chat with the team

alton Blackiston is the Chef Owner of Morston Hall an intimate

country-house style luxury retreat opened in 1992 where his restaurant

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

In the astonishing flat landscape of salt marshes open skies reed swaying in the wind and dunes where broom and rapeseed gleam in yellows make sure you take full advantage of the beautiful scenery off the dynamic coastline the river Stiffkey ndash running from Swanton Novers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

ndrew Baird has another ally in his quest to bring the very best

ingredients to Longueville guests and one whorsquos much closer to home kitchen

gardener David LewisDavid son of hotel owner Malcolm

Lewis is one of four gardeners at Longueville and his sole responsibility is the Victorian walled kitchen garden which supplies Andrew with well over 100 varieties of vegetables fruits herbs and edible flowers (as well as being home to the chefsrsquo underground fish and meat smoke-house)

From strawberries to broad beans Jerusalem artichokes to radishes lemons (from three lemon trees in the large 19th century glasshouse) tomatoes cucumbers kale beetroot Jersey Royals and rhubarb you name it itrsquos grown at Longueville

David is always trying out new things too such as this yearrsquos experiments the cucamelon (a berry-like small cucumber) Chilean guava berries and brown turkey figs

Probably the most labour intensive aspect of Davidrsquos role is tending to the multiple trays of micro herbs and cress growing in the glasshouse

The project to home-grow these tiny greens ndash which Andrew uses extensively for garnishing dishes ndash was Davidrsquos baby when he first started the job five years ago

He explains ldquoThe micro greens project was my big thing when I came back here after university Theyrsquore very popular as a colourful tasty garnish yet out of all the herbs and vegetables used by the kitchen theyrsquore the most expensive to buy Irsquod worked at a micro-greens farm on my travels in Canada so it really hit me when I took on the kitchen garden ndash I thought why not try and grow our own Now out of all the things in the garden theyrsquore the most profitable by farrdquo

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

alton Blackiston is the Chef Owner of Morston Hall an intimate

country-house style luxury retreat opened in 1992 where his restaurant

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

In the astonishing flat landscape of salt marshes open skies reed swaying in the wind and dunes where broom and rapeseed gleam in yellows make sure you take full advantage of the beautiful scenery off the dynamic coastline the river Stiffkey ndash running from Swanton Novers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

rummells Exclusive Menswear opened during the summer of 2014 Having

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

Royal Square are the impressive premises of

E J Gallichan Jerseys oldest jewellers The historic building is regarded as a notable landmark with its distinctive brass edge shop front and wall mounted clock It has been the home of the business for 170 years Very little has changed since those early days when Gallichans opened as watch makers and jewellers in 1845 The premises may be larger with a wider range of stock but the shop still retained all its old world charm and friendly personal service

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

engagement and eternity rings and beautiful examples of pearl jewellery including freshwater cultured pearls from

rummells Exclusive Menswear opened during the summer of 2014 Having

sold the business 12 years ago Tony Smail previously operated at the same premises for 18 successful years and in that time built a reputation for being Jerseyrsquos leading menswear retailer

The reason for re-opening the business was simple having spoken with many old clients both local and visitors we quickly realised Jersey was starved of world class luxury brands and also a unique shopping experience

In February 2014 we set about opening the business and managed to secure the same location previously held We put together a wish list of world class luxury brands thankfully managing to obtain all of them and four months later after a major refurbishment Brummells opened its doors

Owners Tony Smail and Nathan Jenkins who previously worked in the shop 12 years before have put together a team of highly professional and experienced staff Brummellrsquos core values are to offer a unique retail

experience providing out of hours opening complementary in-house tailoring service and delivery to your home hotel or office

The ethos being to create a store environment that is friendly professional relaxed and most importantly enjoyable

Old fashioned service is provided where we spend time getting to know our clients and what

they wantToday Brummells is back at the fore

front of menswear retail in St Helier All the world class brands are back

Ermenegildo Zegna Canali and Ralph Lauren just to name a few There is a

reassurance that the demand for luxury products is going from strength to strength and Brummells will continue to adapt its offer accordingly

ccupying a prominent position beside the

Royal Square are the impressive premises of

E J Gallichan Jerseys oldest jewellers The historic building is regarded as a notable landmark with its distinctive brass edge shop front and wall mounted clock It has been the home of the business for 170 years Very little has changed since those early days when Gallichans opened as watch makers and jewellers in 1845 The premises may be larger with a wider range of stock but the shop still retained all its old world charm and friendly personal service

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

engagement and eternity rings and beautiful examples of pearl jewellery including freshwater cultured pearls from

170 YEARS OF OUTSTANDINGjewellery

China and sea cultured pearls from Japan Tahiti and the South Sea Islands

Watch brands include Maurice Lacroix and Jean Pierre with Victorinox Swiss Army being introduced into this already exclusive collection Silver gold and gold plate pocket watches are also available new or antique

ur family is a three generation family

A working family We love family And

we love design Three years ago nineteen year

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

And so we have it A family bringing together all sorts of families through our unique exquisite cheerful designs With lots of TLC

Purchase a finished piece online or commission us to revive a family heirloom or even create your own uniquely designed fabric our production process will be the same We use best quality materials and master craftsmanship whether producing or renovating furniture Your items will be loved by generations to come From show homes to hotels flats to mansions Alex helps our business and private commission clients shape their vision and then turns it into a sensory delight Shersquos happy to work with in-role interior designers or to be guided

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

E J Gallichan Jerseys oldest jewellers The historic building is regarded as a notable landmark with its distinctive brass edge shop front and wall mounted clock It has been the home of the business for 170 years Very little has changed since those early days when Gallichans opened as watch makers and jewellers in 1845 The premises may be larger with a wider range of stock but the shop still retained all its old world charm and friendly personal service

The business was started by Mr Jean Gallichan who was succeeded by his

son Edward As he had no heirs the business was sold and the present

company formed in 1856 The shop stayed open during the Occupation but as the Germans bought all the silverware trade was mainly in secondhand items such as spoons As there

was no heating or electricity shop hours in winter were from 10am

to 3pm Today there is always a fabulous

selection of jewellery including the latest design wedding bands

engagement and eternity rings and beautiful examples of pearl jewellery including freshwater cultured pearls from

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Jewellery should be worn not neglected Donrsquot leave it to gather dust in a box out of sight simply call into Catherine Best and have a chat with the team

alton Blackiston is the Chef Owner of Morston Hall an intimate

country-house style luxury retreat opened in 1992 where his restaurant

is one Michelin-starred since 16 years and has three AA rosettes Being from the area Galton knows where to personally select the best local ingredients a criterion on which his kitchen is based and renowned for He left the area once only to come back married and setting up Morston Hall together with his lovely chatty wife Tracy Blackiston Just ask her about the local football team Norwich City better known as the Canaries and she will drop everything to convince you of their greatness Teamwork prevails with the husband-and-wife collaboration While Galton gains more and more reputation with his style of cooking Tracy makes sure guests felt welcomed and every aspect of the premises runs smoothly And that it does

The food served in this restored 17th century listed building is indeed outstanding and has its dinner appearance every day at 730pm sharp There is a certain unfamiliarity as guests gather for aperitifs and canapeacutes in two lounges as dinner is served in a single sitting in the dining room and conservatory yet the log fire does help with feeling cosy and relaxed As per the start time the seven courses are also set until the choice between dessert or cheese while dietary requirements are discussed and lsquodislikes easily dealt withrsquo Most ingredients are sourced locally and with the menu changing daily appear as fresh as you could wish for resulting in well-prepared harmonious dishes at the table

Harrison is on hand to assist in selecting wines to match the gourmand pleasures if you are not going for the lsquowine flightrsquo with which you are given a different wine matching each course With the plates being brought out in quite a rapid manner I must say I struggled to drink up quickly enough and had up to three wines lined up on the table yet I truly appreciate the personal approach to service

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

In the astonishing flat landscape of salt marshes open skies reed swaying in the wind and dunes where broom and rapeseed gleam in yellows make sure you take full advantage of the beautiful scenery off the dynamic coastline the river Stiffkey ndash running from Swanton Novers

through Norfolk before flowing out into the North Sea ndash walks through woodland or the stunning Blakeney National Nature Reserve (nationaltrustorgukblakeney) Numerous attractions showcase the area such as boat trips to spot seals and other sea life the Langham Glass family business or Sandringham the Queenrsquos holiday home make your stay diverting We opted for the seal watch and my initial fear of a megaphone-advertising tourist boat proved unneccessary straight from the start it actually turned out to be a very agreeable and relaxing trip with an hourrsquos stop spent on land on Blakeney Point a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map

ur family is a three generation family

A working family We love family And

we love design Three years ago nineteen year

old budding designer Brontey the granddaughter in our family decided uni wasnrsquot for her and wanted to get stuck into working locally if possible using her creativity Brontey creates amazing hand drawn designs that she then manipulates digitally to create single and repeat patterns

Thatrsquos where the younger mum in our story comes in Bronteyrsquos mum Alex loves her family and she also loved Bronteyrsquos designs Fifteen years working in the finance industry at a senior level gave Alex two things in particular Insight into running a business and a great network of people she knew well Alex wanted to help Brontey sell her designs And she knew people would love them But they needed to be printed and presented Would they be prints in a frame Woah no they needed to live to sing be in someonersquos face everyday brightening up life

Thatrsquos where the second mum in our story comes in Alexrsquos mum Celeste A trained milliner and seamstress she has over 40 yearsrsquo experience gracing the homes of Jerseyrsquos great and good with breath-taking soft furnishings She had returned to live in Lisbon in the 90rsquos where she had her own design studio Since Celeste was widowed in 2007 Alex had wanted her to spend more time with the family in Jersey And she knew if they could get the designs onto fabric her mum could create an opera with them

Even though the island was still in recession the timing was perfect Alex and Brontey cleared the barn at the back of the house and set up a workshop Celeste came over to spend time with her family The three girls were together The first designs were printed and breathed new vibrant life into old chairs picked up at auction rooms The Loving Chair Company was born

he Jersey studio is full of award-winning creations using precious metals and a myriad of gemstones lsquopeople regularly tell us how much they enjoy browsing the range because it contains

affordable limited edition pendants rings and bracelets through to unique statement piecesrsquo says Catherine lsquoonly the highest quality metals and precious stones are sourced even after the 20 years designing it is not surprising for me to come across a new jewel to design aroundrsquo

Catherine rejects high-tech computer generated design because she knows that the extra time skill and effort required by traditional hand-drawn methods ensures every piece is totally unique lsquoHand-drawing design is a rarity in a world where computer software can be used I never know quite what is going to appear on my sketchpad it is a major part of how I work I believe the end results are all the better for thatrsquo Catherinersquos daughter Vikki who has already won prestigious jewellery awards also uses traditional methods to create her own eye-catching contemporary designs Vikki and I have no greater reward than seeing the smiling faces of the recipients of our designs and the knowledge that we have helped to create some very special memoriesrsquo

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

For details about the unique jewellery gifts and services available at Catherine Best visit the Windmill in St Peter or the website wwwcatherinebestcomT +44 (0)1534 485777 E jerseycatherinebestcom

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Jewellery should be worn not neglected Donrsquot leave it to gather dust in a box out of sight simply call into Catherine Best and have a chat with the team

Catherine and Vikkirsquos jewellery is exclusive and cannot be found in the high street or any other outlets lsquoWe want visitors to find lovely things for themselves or for friends and family We have been careful to create limited edition jewellery that most are in a position to buy I like combining affordability with luxurious design it is very satisfying to know that when people visit the Windmill studio they will find something within their price rangersquo

The rare opportunity to see beautiful jewellery made locally and acclaimed worldwide is on offer at Catherine Best Jersey studio The studio and newly extended manufacturing workshop are located in the parish of St Peter and form part of a complex that includes a beautiful historic windmill dating back to 1837 made from Jersey granite ndash refurbished this year The site has a tranquil rural setting with manicured gardens in which visitors can relax with something to eat and drink whilst taking in the surroundings from which Catherine has drawn her inspiration

Old jewellery has history and meaning to individualsRejuvenating old stones rings chains etc adds another dimension and life cycle to heirlooms The new workshop in Jersey can transform unwanted jewellery into extraordinary statement pieces by using the stones in more sympathetic or spectacular ways Or visitors can simply commission their own unique treasure to commemorate their visit to Jersey or any special occasion lsquoCreating designs for clientrsquos specific likes or tastes is a growing part of what keeps us busyrsquo say Catherine

lsquoIf someone owns a piece with lovely stones or metal but the actual design has become outdated or they have inherited it and the jewellery is just not to their taste

Rather than leaving it unworn it can be redesigned into a piece that can be worn regularly I love reviving things that would otherwise never see the light of day Clients enjoy the emotional link of wearing something that has at heart a connection with friends or familyrsquo

Jewellery should be worn not neglected Donrsquot leave it to gather dust in a box out of sight simply call into Catherine Best and have a chat with the team

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

The culinary delights aside there is plenty more to enjoy at Morston Hall All rooms are named after local halls such as Sandringham or Blickling spacious and ensuite most with flatscreen some even a TV in the bathroom besides the usual amenities of which a hot water bottle with knitted cover came as a useful surprise Six garden suites added to the property seven years ago in the pavilion and named after flowers all feature a fireplace and private garden terrace Not too shabby Prices include the daily changing set dinner menu with coffee and petit fours and a full English breakfast Standard room rates are from pound170 to pound200 per person based on two sharing a room Comfort is appointed to a high standard in order to create a quiet relaxed and indulgent stay to recharge your batteries and with its well-maintained grounds Morston Hall charmingly preserves the historical connection with the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended is also the Norfolk Coast Trail a hiking route leading from Hunstanton to Sheringham and passing Morston from which it can if you are into jogging serve as the most beautiful running track Donrsquot head westwards as the path soon turns into a bumpy surface which slows you down and increases risk of injury instead dash towards Cley next the sea with the elevated path keeping you off the muds as it offers delightful views over the rough

vegetation and with a length there and back of just under eight miles a good workout Alternatively there is the option of hiring bicycles or boats to discover the area in a sustainable way

Another option to spend your time wisely is by attending one of Galtonrsquos cookery demonstrations at which you are invited to sit in the kitchen listening to his tips and humurous comments while he expertly cooks and dishes up one of his classic creations Itrsquos a delight watching him carefully and skillfully handle the freshest of

the dayrsquos catch and having pleasurable smells fill your nostrils Should all this not quite have satisfied your gourmet pleasure needs hop on the coast bus towards Cromer where Galton and Tracy cater for a simpler version of dining with their fishrsquonrsquochip shop called No1 ndash unsurprisingly living up to its name

Being the only restaurant with both three red rosettes and a Michelin

Star award within a 50-mile radius and looking at the extensive list of awards won you canrsquot go wrong with Morston Hall which brought Norfolk onto the culinary map
