MumMmyyths! Should I only use non-bio detergents on baby clothes? NO! This popular misconception was tackled by researchers in 2008, but how many mums are aware of the facts...? BIO VERSUS NON-BIO:The difference between bio (biological) and non-bio detergents is that bio detergents containenzymes that are extremely effective at cleaning stains. Enzymes are biological proteins which break down other proteins, starches, and fats that are common in everyday stains.4 To advertise contact us on 01706 353 729 or email [email protected]

Even when major alteration to the school building took place a few years ago did not prevent the tradition carrying on. The Panto temporarily moved out of the Village down the road to Cardinal Langley High School returning when the building work was completed. The stage had to be repositioned after the alterations and this was duly done to enable the show to come back home. What benefits can the pantomime claim over all these years? Children love to perform in front of an audience, and the Panto gives them the opportunity. It also helps their self confidence, and it teaches them that team work is a good thing. Lasting friendships have been made and many happy memories that will never be forgotten. These special qualities bring about community cohesion which is vitally important for our well being especially in a small village like Castleton.6 To advertise contact us on 01706 353 729 or email [email protected]

SPOTLIGHT ON AARON THE LOCAL HEAD CHEF ATCENETTACastleton Eye love telling local stories about Cenetta previously Fallen Angels have recentlylocal people so we went to visit Aaron at undergone a refurbishment with a new style of familyCenetta to find out more about his new role friendly modern dining and a more modern up-to dateand Cenetta... menu including promoting Aaron to new head chef in the house! How did you become a chef? I started working here at Cenetta as a pot washer in 2004! I was still at school but soon became part of the preparation team. I always showed initiative and was keen to help the chef. I was eager to learn and so went to college to get my qualifications whilst still working here. Working my way up to second in charge. Its been twelve years and I love working here, I am grateful for this opportunity and couldn’t have done it without the staff here. Who inspires you in your role? We had a second head chef before, his name was Manuel. He was so organised, I loved this about him. He was never stressed and made us all feel relaxed. What is your signature dish? Ahhh this is hard. Italian food, or a full English I love hash browns. When I am not cooking I love fish from the chippy. What is your favourite meal to cook on your menu? I love to cook Sea-bass this is my favourite. What is the most popular dish on your menu? The most popular dish on our menu is still steak and chips, this has been on the menu since the very beginning. I believe this is down to the quality of our beef. We source our meat from our own butchers in Castleton. The new menu and décor really needs to be seen, so why not treat yourself to a wonderful night out situated right here in Castleton Village. They also have pizza building for kids!
