Community Cupboard

The recently launched Community Cupboard on Albert Road is a true example of Southsea’s warm heart. Designed as an opportunity for people to donate what they can and take what they need, the wardrobe will become a place to focus on community spirit and benefit those needing help– especially with the winter months coming.

Andres New Premises

Standing proudly on Osbourne road sits Andre’s Food Bar, Southsea's oldest sandwich shop and this week I caught up with co-owner of the business Antony to chat about its history. Antony is the cousin of Andre and they both worked together to revamp the business in 2016 when Andre's french dad retired, changing the family business name that most people will remember as being La Croissantiere. Having now been open for 2 years it seemed the right time to open a second shop which would actually sit quite close to the original establishment that Andre's parents had owned in Guildhall Walk.

Max and Ivan

Maybe you have seen the flyer around town of the dynamic duo that is Max and Ivan. Their BBC Radio 4 sitcom, The Casebook of Max & Ivan, has attracted guest stars including Matt Lucas, June Whitfield, Jessica Hynes, Reece Shearsmith and Mark Heap. I caught up with Max this week and he has put together a guest blog post all about his show hitting the Wedgewood Rooms next week! It does look rather funny and for a good cause so hope to see you all there!
