Cothay Manor Gardens

On Saturday Jeremy visited the beautiful Cothay Manor Gardens near Wellington, Somerset (not just for a nice day out!). He was there to help run our stall at the Garden, Plant and Food Fair in aid of St Margaret’s Hospice.

The event was really well attended and the weather was fine, meaning everyone got to view the gardens in their full splendour. The chocolates sold really well, apparently the new Caramel Connoisseur Collection was very popular and it was great to help raise a lot of money for a really worthwhile cause.

Before all this Jeremy was in Wincanton judging for the 2010 Great Taste Awards. Each year the judges blind taste almost 5000 speciality food and drink products from over 1100 producers. It’s a hard job but somebody has to do it!

Whilst Jeremy has been exercising his taste buds, Laura Treviss and Sarah Downing from our chocolate factory have been in training for the Dorchester Race for Life event. Together they raised £210 for Cancer Research UK by running 5k with around 2500 other women. I’d like to say a big well done from everyone here at House of Dorchester …….so……… well done!
