      <description><![CDATA[This month’s key appointments include new chef hires at rooftop restaurant CÉ LA VI, Isabel Mayfair, and Herts Pubs Company, alongside the appointment of a new sales and marketing director at Market Halls. Former Petersham Nurseries chef Catarina Almeida (pictured above) has been appointed head chef at Isabel Mayfair. Almeida and her team have developed a new menu to coincide with the official start of summer, which draws on Almeida’s experience growing up family farms in her native Portugal as well as cooking techniques passed down through generations that have shaped her outlook. Rather than focusing on a single country or cuisine, the menu draws upon the diverse cultures that surround the Mediterranean. “I want each dish to tell a story, whether that’s through the ingredients, the place that inspired it, or the memories and traditions its connected to” says Almeida. “Mediterranean food is about more than recipes; it’s about bringing people together around the table and creating moments that are meant to be shared.” ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Café Barbette, a new wine bar concept from the team behind Maray, is set to open in Chester’s Exchange Square next month. Located opposite Chester Market, the venue is inspired by the corner cafés of Paris and will bring a European-style all-day offering to an outdoor terrace setting. 
At the centre of the space will be a wine discovery wall, allowing guests to explore and pour their own wines. Around 30 wines will be available by the glass, with a list focused mainly on French producers alongside a mix of low-intervention and more ‘unusual bottles’. ]]></description>
