As well as taking the reins of The Coniston's three dining outlets; The View Restaurant, Macleod's Bar & Lounge and Blossom Kitchen, Katherine is looking forward to training with the younger team members, as well as working alongside their fantastic brigade of chefs to curate an incredible dining offering that will really put The Coniston firmly on the local dining map.

The View is a chic yet relaxed dining experience with its roaring fires and floor to ceiling panoramic windows, which together with an all-year-round alfresco area and terrace, boast beautiful views of the lake and stunning countryside beyond. The menu offers delicious hearty fare which embraces the very best of the Great British landscape and its produce.

Macleod's Bar & Lounge is the perfect place to relax and refresh, boasting a well-stocked bar, a mouth-watering menu, and of course, the warm and welcoming atmosphere that The Coniston prides itself on.

Blossom Kitchen is Nàdarra Spa's Asian fusion restaurant, offering a blend of fresh, zingy flavours with outstanding Yorkshire ingredients.

Katherine will be a great addition to the team, to promote our personable friendly service and become an established host to welcome our guests. Service is at the heart of everything we have to offer at The Coniston and we look forward to working with Katherine to drive the business forward and become the 'go to' choice for local diners in the community."

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.

Something borrowed, something blue’ is out – but 1 in 4 Brits still value wedding cards

New research from Moonpig reveals the top wedding card writing confessions. A whopping 30% of Brits admit to defaulting to a safe "congratulations!" because they simply can't think of anything else to say. This is followed by recycling the same message for different couples (11%) and signing a card without knowing what your partner has written (8%). What's more, when stuck for words, one in 10 (8%) admit to turning to AI for inspiration - this rises to one in seven (14%) among 25–34-year-olds. Brits are not alone in facing this wedding card conundrum. More than half of Brits (55%) admit they have struggled with at least one aspect of wedding message writing. Nearly one in four find wedding cards (23%) or guest-book messages (24%) difficult, while one in five (20%) hit writer's block when preparing the all-important wedding speech.
