A technology company are revolutionising the dairy industry with a range of robotic 'maids' that milk cattle - whenever the cows feel like it. The automatic cow milker allows the heifers to walk in whenever their udders are feeling uncomfortable - and automatically gives them a good milking. Agri-tech giant Lely’s newest automatic machine lets cows choose for themselves when they want to be milked and is set to change modern farming. They built and designed to make dairy farms...

Hām is not another single-menu restaurant, although you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise. Instead, ‘Hām’ is the Old English word for ‘home’, a prominent focus at this new West Hampstead neighbourhood restaurant, far more so than cured pork leg. Nestled amongst a parade of restaurants and charity shops, the restaurant’s space is modern but welcoming, and the service strikes a rare balance between casual and proficient. I arrive ten minutes early and find deep comfort in an insouciant attentiveness...

The latest in a line of the brand's experimental breweries, Guinness Open Gate Brewery was set up with an aim for brewers to explore new ideas and develop small batch beers to be served in the onsite tap room. Beers selected for further development are then brewed in greater quantities in Brew House 4 at St....

If you’re going to insist on opening a restaurant specialising in one specific dish, it’s a matter of good manners to do that one thing properly. As a result, I’m constantly flummoxed at the news of so many London steakhouses celebrating double-figure anniversaries. To order a steak in a non-specialist restaurant can seem like a cop out; generally included on menus as the sole reserve of the unadventurous, “well-done please”, picky eater.
