Creating bespoke 'category list' template in Joomla

Experts

Im trying to create a template for a section of my joomla site.

I have categories A -F, within each category say 10 products. I would like to create a template that allows you to both see the standard 'Catgory List Layout' which is standard option availble when adding items to the Joomla menu. This page shows a basic output of one category that contains 3 products:
http://bbs.newcastlewebdesigner.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=36&Itemid=88

I would like to show the above list while at the same time showing each individual product (see attached JPG).

I can show either the list or the product... but not in conjunction.

Regards

Apologies for the delay closing this question... keep meaning to then forgeting :(

The solution i was after, was a buiilt in Joomla module after all, i used the standard 'latest article' module, set to the specific category.

The solution you offered, is indeed how i approached creating the bottle menu side of things.

We are based in Newcastle, but quite a bit further away from where you worked... some 9000 miles i'd guess, in the UK.

Thanks for your help with this.
