 Thanks to all of you who visited our stand and sampled our wares, particularly the new Lamb and Vegetable Mirepoix Glaces we launched. It was great to be located right by the buzz of the Live Theatre, and five days of intense competition were enjoyed by most!

 Just in case you didn’t manage to visit the recent Restaurant Show at Olympia in September, here is a picture of our new stand in all its glory. It has helped us to establish our four distinct ranges, and improved our ability to sample more visitors with the wider range of our stocks. And on a local note, our congratulations go to Eyck Zimmer, Executive Chef of the Lowry Hotel in Manchester, for winning the Knorr Chef of the Year 2006.
