Thanks for the comments. I've done up a background for the top text links (which is still WIP), used a nicer font on the menu subtitles and shifted them down a bit, and I've also tweaked a few colours throughout.
@zumojuice
I played round with trying to reduce / remove the full stops and that section falls apart completely without them as they are really the only thing adding any colour. Ditto for the link highlighting. As said above I've done up a (very basic) grungy looking link background for an anchor's in that area. It's removed that "oh look, a giant rectangle" feel but still gives a bit of texture, colour and variation.
P.S. thanks all for the help on this so far. I'm still learning my way round the world of graphic design but having others to bounce ideas of is definitely making it easier.
