So 2014 is now underway and My Style Bites is back after a (much longer than anticipated) break in 2013.
Keeping to the theme of getting back to business, The Anchor in Ripley is has reopened thanks to local restaurateurs Steve and Serina Drake. The pub, parts of which date back to the 16th century, has been renovated with many of its original features uncovered and sympathetically restored.
Run as a separate venture from Steve and Serina's Michelin-starred restaurant Drake's across the road, The Anchor has had additional private investment from friends and neighbours Chris and Lisanne Mealing, while the kitchen is being headed up by Michael Wall-Palmer, who was behind the stove in Drake's for some years.

Offering an ethos of a relaxed, family-oriented village pub, The Anchor serves simple, but creative pub food, with great ales and interesting wines, all at very affordable prices including sharing plates of cold meats, British cheeses and homemade chutney.
Manager Iain McArthur, whose career has spanned Effingham Golf Club, a luxury game lodge in South Africa, South Lodge Hotel in Horsham and Cisswold House Hotel near Horsham, said: " It is fantastic opportunity to be part of the launch team of such an historic pub, especially a kitchen team with such a brilliant food ‘pedigree'.
"The Anchor also has a long history with cyclists and we will look forward to - once again - being a destination for cycling enthusiasts, as well as being a friendly and welcoming village pub."
