Visited the Dovedale Towers today after it’s been done up - I know everyone likes to hate on RG and his pubs, but I think they’ve done a great job with the place.

It has kept a lot of the original feel but looks 10x nicer, will be nicer for the Penny Lane tourists, and feels more like the ‘modern’ Liverpool.

Every time I’d been in there before the sale it was full of cokeheads getting off their face on a quiet midweek night, hopefully now they have more of a general appeal and can challenge the other pubs in the area.

Would be good to know what others think!

Hi all, my kitchen and house in general is typically 20°C.

I used a heat mat for the first time last night and accidentally cooked some of the starter - the probe was inside the jar and so never reached the set temp of 24, instead the mat was probably at closer to 30 degrees. I did put the jar on top of a folded towel too

My question is where is the optimal place to put the probe? I currently have it sitting on top of the mat on another towel, and the temp seems to sit comfortably at 24/25, but I can’t tell if the jar is a little colder.

Thanks in advance
