GUESTS at the Cholmondeley Arms 20th birthday celebration enjoyed first class food designed by their favourite celebrity.

Staff at the Malpas pub welcomed once again Two Fat Ladies star Clarrissa Dickson Wright to meet their guests and try out the menu that she helped design.

Clarissa is a regular visitor to the pub and she was invited to help design their menu with head chef Dan Whitmore.

The chefs kept the menu game based, in keeping with the food available and the wine was specially chosen by sommeliers at Rodney Densem Wines to complement the meal.

Manager Hugo Thompson said: “It was a fantastic evening. We had a full house and we sold out of tickets. We could have sold twice as many but we just had no more space.

“It was also a great chance to show off the talents of our chefs, and allow people to experience first class, local food.

“Everybody really seemed to enjoy the meal, and the wine. Clarissa was very good and went around to all the guests and answered their questions. It was a wonderful celebration of our 20 years.”
