The events line-up through the week coupled with the drinks menu reveals some of the ambition and sophistication that owners Peter Dalton and Carol Ainscow were striving for.

An almost complete collection of City Life magazine is available to view by appointment at Archives+, Central Library.
Thanks to David Govier.
