‘FRESHLY’ RESTAURANT
By Peter Newman
Last week my parents and I visited Freshly, a modern British restaurant, in the centre of Brighton, Sussex. So it was the perfect opportunity to write a review for the school paper.
All of the ingredients used in Freshly come from Sussex and the surrounding area. It was also the first restaurant in the world to be serving only English wine. Since opening in 2018 Freshly has won many awards. The owner and head chef at the restaurant is only 24 years old and she has been cooking three-course meals for her family since she was nine and still at junior school. Jane did an apprenticeship at the famous Grand Hotel, in Brighton, and later also went to catering school in London. She says this was one of the hardest courses she has ever done and sometimes she was so tired that she could hardly speak. Despite this, she never felt like giving up because she knew she was following her dream.
Freshly is a small restaurant with a view over the back streets of Brighton where you can watch the world walk by. The staff are always welcoming. The head waiter is very informative about the food and how it is cooked and also from where all the ingredients have come from. The chefs are not scared to experiment, so the menu changes regularly. The chefs are lucky enough to be a team of good friends, and they try to eat out at different restaurants as often as they can. They take a lot of inspiration from their favourite chefs to make the Freshly experience as perfect as possible.
One thing to remember, however, is that you are limited to what they have that day on the menu. Freshly, however, will always cater for people with special food needs and vegetarians. The food is beautifully prepared and comes in small tasty portions. Wonderful homemade bread, too. Very nice - but expensive. Four set menus with an extra cheeseboard, two bottles of water and 2 coffees will cost around £150 without a tip. So yes, fine dining; but at a price.

A. The head waiter is in charge of the menu.
B. The staff often change jobs because they like to do different things.
C. It is a big and fancy restaurant with a great view.

Question 15: What would Peter say about Freshly restaurant?

Exercise 5: Read the text and complete the outline. ADVANTAGES OF CITY LIFE Some people prefer the quiet life of the countryside. However, cities have many benefits over villages. Firstly, city life is very convenient. Children growing up in villages do not have as much access to education as children in cities. Villages may not have enough children to create a school system that goes all the way through high school; these kids must go to cities to continue their educations. Cities have multiple forms of education such as colleges and universities. More libraries and museums are available in cities. Entertainment is readily accessible in cities in the form of movie theaters, amusement parks and restaurants. Secondly, city provides better health care condition. Villages may have a local doctors’ clinic, but cities often have multiple hospitals and doctors specializing in even rare conditions. In a city, ambulances and firetrucks may take only minutes to arrive at the scene. In villages, getting to a hospital in an emergency may take precious time. Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career. Villages have a smaller population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available. Living in the city provides people with thousands of career choices. Professionals have access to large businesses, hospitals and educational facilities for work opportunities. People with less education can more readily find jobs in customer service or entry-level jobs. Even specialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a city with a large population. I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents. As city populations increase, so do businesses. People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities. As time passes, more and more people all over the world leave villages and move to cities, seeking a new life.
