RESTAURATEURS and hoteliers across the Lake District are joining forces to support an extra special cause.
On the weekend of September 18 and 19, the region's hospitality and catering industry will be donating' all manner of delicious delights for the New Holehird campaign to try to keep open the much-loved home for disabled people in Windermere.
The event is the brainchild of New Holehird campaign co-organiser Andy Hill, who is also proprietor of Grasmere's award-winning Jumble Room restaurant.
As a marvellous appetiser to set the ball rolling, Andy and his wife Chrissie will be donating the proceeds from a table for four' to the New Holehird fund.
The money-spinning exercise has already been further boosted by Kendal wine merchant Frank Stainton who has pledged £100, Let's Dine Out discount dining club entrepreneurs Peter and Maureen Caulfield who have promised £25 (see this page), and there have been further pledges of support from the Grasmere Hotel, Salutation Hotel at Ambleside; Low Wood Hotel and Holbeck Ghyll at Windermere; and the Drunken Duck near Hawkshead.
Over the next few weeks in the run-up to September 18 and 19, Food & Drink will keep you posted on those hotels and restaurants joining Turning the Tables' and the pledges they have made so that you can support them in their efforts on this special dining-out weekend for such a worthy cause.
