Our stand was as popular as ever with local people sampling our delicious scones with jam and cream.

Entries to our prize draw flooded in and our lucky winner Christine Graham won a bottle of Moet and an Alveston House Hotel Teddy Bear.

Alveston House Hotel was proud to be a part of the massively successful Thornbury Carnival on 4 July 2009.

After a 14-year absence, the streets of Thornbury were lined with revellers enjoying an amazing procession of over 70 floats and exibitors.  We had a stall in a prime position on the Mundy Playing Fields and had hundreds of visitors asking about the hotel and enjoying our complimentary homemade scones with Jam and Cream.alveston-house-hotel-cream-tea

Our colouring competition for the children was extremely popular and the entries are now flooding in.  Our Head Chef, Ben Halliday, will have the difficult job of deciding on a winner when the closing date for entries arrives next Monday.  We will be inviting the winner into the hotel to receive their prize and hopefully they will be getting their photo in the local paper as well!

Our special ‘Carnival Voucher’ offer has also proved very popular.  Many people who stopped to chat at the stall received a complimentary main course voucher to be used in Carriages Restaurant during July and August.

It was a pleasure to meet so many of our regular guests on the day and hopefully we will have made new friends that will now come and see us at the hotel.  If you would like to make a reservation for either Carriages Restaurant or for a Cream Tea in our Conservatory or in the Garden then please do call us on 01454 415050. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Finally we would like to offer our congratulations to the organisers of the Carnival who did an absolutely splendid job.  We will certainly be getting involved again next year.  Well Done!
