(11) When the new shopping centre was built in the 1960s, it found a home beneath the multi-storey car park where it still is, but there are plans to move it back to its previous home by the river.
11. (1) A
Distraction B: ‘It was originally … in front of the cathedral’ but later ‘it was moved’. It was never ‘beside’ the cathedral; C: ‘at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river’ but John goes on to say it found another ‘home’ ‘in the 1960s’. Although ‘there are plans to move [the market] back …’ these are for some time in the future, not now.
The market is now open six days a week. On Tuesday to Saturday you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area, as well as a whole range of imported produce. (12) But if you come on a Sunday, you’ll find a different market, where craftspeople sell what they have made– things like bags, cards, clothes. During the week there are a few stalls selling more everyday utensils like saucepans and cleaning products alongside the fruit and vegetables– as well as one new stall selling antique furniture which is proving to be very popular.
12. (2) C
Distraction A: Antique furniture is sold on ‘one new stall’,
not ‘on only one day’; B: Local produce [= ‘fresh fruit and
vegetables, meat and cheese from the area’] is sold from
‘Tuesday to Saturday’.
People often ask what our local dish is. As we’re by the sea, they expect it to be some kind of fish recipe. Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out. (13) What we do have is an apple cake that isn’t really made anywhere else. There‘s a new cafe in the High Street: Barton’s, which bakes them fresh every morning and serves them with delicious home-made ice cream in a choice of flavours.
13. (3) B
Distraction A: Ice cream is served with the cake in one cafe but
the area isn’t famous for the ice cream; C: John says ‘Our fish is
good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out’.
So Number 1 for me is Merrivales, which is in one of the busiest parts of the town leading down to the harbour. It’s in a side street so it doesn’t look out over the water but it’s very close, so you can take a walk after your meal and find one of the cafes with live music. At Merrivales you can enjoy delicious fresh fish and seafood. (15) The friendly staff offer very attentive service and a really enjoyable evening.
14. (4) B
Distraction A: Fish can be bought from the fishermen but this
isn’t a change (‘They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone
can remember …’); C: There are more restaurants (‘a couple of
new ones have opened recently’) not fewer.

(15) The friendly staff offer very attentive service and a really enjoyable evening.
15. (5) D
Distraction C: The entertainment is in ‘one of the cafes with live
music’ in the area.
Distraction F: ‘it doesn’t look out over the water’, so it doesn’t
have good views.
Distraction G: It is in ‘one of the busiest parts of the town’, so it
isn’t a quiet location.
Distraction H: It doesn’t have a wide menu – John just mentions
‘delicious fresh fish and seafood’.
The Lobster Pot is on the main road going down to the harbour so it also misses out on the sea view, but the food makes up for that. (16) It serves a huge range of fish and seafood as well as vegetarian and meat dishes so there’s something for everyone. Prices are from mid-range to fairly expensive so it’s really only for a special occasion
16. (6) H
Distraction E: It’s not good value because prices ‘are from mid¬
range to fairly expensive’.
Distraction F: ‘it also misses out on the sea view’.
Distraction G: It ‘is on the main road’ so it isn’t in a ‘quiet
location’.
Elliots is in the city centre and is a very upmarket restaurant in the
evening but during the day it serves lunch and coffee. (17) It’s on
the twentieth floor above some offices and it’s a great place to sit for a while as you can see most of the city spread out from there. It does get very busy though and you may have to wait to be served
17. (7) F
Distraction G: John says it ‘is in the city centre’ so it’s not in a
‘quiet location’.
Distraction D: ‘you may have to wait to be served’ so the service
isn’t ‘excellent’.
Not far from the city centre is The Cabin which is on the canal bank. You can’t park your car there– it’s a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest car park– but (18) it’s very peaceful, a good place to relax away from the traffic. It’s not cheap but it’s an ideal place for a long lunch.
18. (8) G
Distraction B: John says ‘You can’t park your car there ...’;
E: ‘It’s not cheap’.
The Olive Tree is a family-run restaurant in the city centre offering beautifully prepared Greek dishes. It’s well-known locally and very popular. Service can be slow when it’s busy as all the food is freshly made. There’s plenty of room and on Friday and Saturday nights, (19) the wooden floors resound with live music and dancing which is certainly worth going for.
19. (9) C
Distraction H: It serves ‘beautifully prepared Greek dishes’ so it
doesn’t have a ‘wide menu’; D: ‘Service can be slow’ so it’s not
‘excellent’.
The last place I want to recommend has only just opened in a converted school building. The Old School Restaurant has been very cleverly renovated. (20) The use of mirrors, plants and the colours on the walls makes you feel as though you’re in a large garden instead of the city centre. There are only a few dishes on the menu but they change every day.
20. (10): A
Distraction H: ‘There are only a few dishes on the menu’.
