Welcome to the festive December Issue of Surrey Rocks Magazine where we bring you the biggest ever ‘Christmas Gift Guide’ helping you choose the perfect presents for your loved ones - including ‘For Him’, ‘For Her’, ‘For Them’ and ‘For Charity’- a whopping 80 gift suggestions in total.

The ‘For Charity’ pages will be raising all important funds for the Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital, in association with the Surrey Awards and Surrey Fashion Week, so not only can you grab a great present - but you can give money to a good cause while doing so!

With Christmas and festive dining on the forefront of everyone’s minds, we got to experience ‘the mother’ of all Gastronomy Reviews! The award-winning Beaverbrook has four restaurant offerings. From rolled Kentish ants in Chef Wojciech Popow’s famous Nigiri at The Japanese Grill to Scallops and Seasonal fresh produce at The Garden House to divine desserts at Mrs. Beetons, we were indeed spoilt for choice.

We also got to catch up with Allegra, our talented cover star, on the launch of her new Single & EP ‘Red’ taking the music industry by storm. Read her exclusive interview on pages 46-53 with stunning photography from Lara Pattinson..

Surrey celebs are appearing aplenty in the news including ‘X Factor’ winner Louisa Johnson presenting the AMC Showcase at the Y Club and Sophie Ellis-Bextor coming to Guilfest alongside The Proclaimers and Rudimental in July. The Meghan Markle “choring debacle!” had us in stitches too. Read all about it on pages 18-19.

Hope you enjoy reading and have a wonderful Christmas,

Sam
