My name is Mandy Holden, I have been publishing
the City Food & Drink Guide since 1995. |
From the outset, the guide was designed with the public very much in mind; it soon became apparent that the Guide would satisfy a need for fingertip information in a format which would appeal to everyone. Essentially, the Guide is an informative and yet simple to use index of places to eat & drink, including pubs and late venues, to form a comprehensive local “eatertainment” guide for selected Cities and Towns in the UK.
Following the success of the printed City Food & Drink Guide I decided to design a website to work alongside the printed guide. Firstly I wanted to design a website that was EASY to USE and allowed people to download, free of charge, any of my printed guides.

Response from the advertisers and public alike has given me the confidence to let the guide grow in its coverage. Amongst the Cities & Towns that are currently benefiting from the guide are Birmingham • Chester • Harrogate • Sheffield • Stratford-upon-Avon & York.
The Tourist information centres are delighted that their Towns and Cities have available, at long last, a Food & Drink Guide which is FREE and The Hotel’s and B&B’s are also very happy to receive a FREE full colour quality guide which incorporates a FREE LOCAL MAP of the area, and lists a variety of well known named restaurants and bars as well as the independence restaurants & bars.
How is the guide published, and where can the public obtain a copy?
The guide is published in a simple “A5 folded map” format, making it easy to use carry and keep and yet big enough when unfold to a A3 give detailed information. |

A great deal of research and development goes into each Guide, and its content is carefully laid out on the page in an easy to understand way. Advertisements, indexes and the Map itself are all presented in high glossy full colour, proving not only attractive, but also allowing it to be clearer and easier to follow. I do all the artwork and photo’s myself unless the advertiser wants to do the advertisement themselves.
The Guide is distributed every six - eight weeks, by ME! to the following places:
Information Centres • B&B’s • Guest House’s • Hotel’s • Restaurants & Bars
featured in the guide • Local places of interest • some Central Libraries.
I would like to confirm that I have around 80% of the original clients from day one still involved in the guides. |
