The Perfect Brunch @ Trev’s

Posted by | Sep 24, 2013 | , |

Trev’s @ Dickson has been a slow burner over the last few years. For those in on the secret, Trev’s breakfast, lunch and dinner have been a treat, with a sharply focussed menu delivering inventive, witty and delicious variations of classic dishes.

With the warmer weather returning, Trev’s is venturing into brunch service, and this has given the crew an opportunity to bring their style to another set of dishes. The menu contains options from the healthy through to the indulgent, with each dish bearing that special attention to detail that has made Trev’s such a hit for weekday diners.

Here, style tells a story: of the garment and the wearer, and this is the personal philosophy of owners Angela and Alan. In a time of international High Street brands and global trends there is added charm and value in the individuality, uniqueness and, above all, history. Things of Desire can take you on this journey.

Spring Clean Your Kitchen

Posted by | Sep 16, 2013 |

At last the weather is warming up. You’ve swapped the long sleeves for shorter sleeves and you are preparing to put the knee-high boots towards the back of the wardrobe to embrace a strappy shoe.
