Latest Nick Giles Charity Cycle News

A few years ago, we mentioned ex-professional cyclist Nick Giles's efforts to raise money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund with his "Toe-2-Toe" charity cycle ride.

Now Nick has a new challenge called "Tip-2-Tip". He is hoping to cycle from San Roque(the Tip of Spain) to John O'Groats(the Tip of the UK) via Valencia and Lands End, a total of 3800km(2400miles).

However, all this is only in the provisional stages at present because everything depends on obtaining sufficient sponsorship for the trip. If you can help with this, or think you know someone else who can, then please contact Nick via his website.


Read more about Nick, the "Tip2Tip" project, his cycling career, and his motivation for doing these rides, by visiting his website www.nickgileschallenge.com.

Illuminated Sign

These are just a few photos of our new illuminated sign. The sign is visible from Buttermarket Street and hopefully will make it easier for new visitors to find us in the evenings.

New Signs

Sign-makers were hard at work outside Caffé Caruso today, installing our new illuminated sign. When the power is connected later this week we hope that both new and returning customers will find their way to us more easily.

St. Valentine's Day 2011

St. Valentine's Day, 14th February, is on a Monday this year and Caffé Caruso will be opening specially throughout the evening in addition to our usual daytime opening.

This year's Valentine's Day Menu offers a choice starter, main course and dessert for just £18 per person with a choice of meat, fish and vegetarian options.

Website Offline

Our main website is currently offline. The webhost that supplies the pages for "caffecaruso.co.uk" has had a serious breakdown at their data centre in Germany.

This blog is hosted separately and is unaffected by the breakdown. More news will be posted here when it becomes available.

UPDATE: Saturday 22nd January 2011 - The website is back online and working properly now.
