HALF PRICE WEDDINGS!

Chaucer Barn, set in the rolling hills of North Norfolk, is offering 2023 mid-week weddings at half price! Chaucer Barn is a traditional flint barn, built in 1836. The East wing is a contemporary conversion of the old flint milking parlour, featuring a two-story wall of glass which runs along the complete length of the west side in order to show off the stunning view over the main lawn, with it’s topiary pyramid forest and parkland with woodland behind.

The tone of the award-winning Chaucer Barn is one of stylish informality, ranging from the cathedral-like space of the main hall to the contemporary chic of the pink sitting room. Filled with textiles and artefacts brought by the owner from far eastern travels. The layout is open plan, with many hidden corners for guests to relax. The conversion is a masterful juxtaposition of ancient and modern.

When tying the knot here, Chaucer Barn’s prices include accommodation, sleeping up to 18 in the main building, plus the option to sleep another 10 to 20 in its five eco-lodges, nestled in the trees with a view over the magical stone circle valley. Head over to www.chaucerbarn.com for more information.

Drink It All In

Cambridge Wine Merchants is celebrating its 30th birthday! The company’s motto is ‘we’re only as good as the last bottle we sold’, and it’s safe to say, they buy and sell wines with love, dedication and flair. It all started with one shop in Mill Road, Cambridge, and the team have never looked back. Still owned by Hal and Brett, they are now one of the biggest independent wine merchants in the country and continuing to expand.

The only true way to find the perfect wine for your big day is to taste it, and that’s where Cambridge Wine Merchants come in. After a consultation to narrow things down, you can have a drink at their King’s Parade Store in Cambridge to find your favourite. With more than 1,000 wines, 200 gins and 400 whiskeys, there is plenty to chose from and something for everyone, and as long as you spend over £250, you’ll be able to get discounted prices.

Happy Anniversary

Parravanis, an ice cream business established in 1898, is celebrating its 125th anniversary. Despite battling through several life-changing recessions, the brand has stood the test of time, and Parravani’s ice cream has been made in the same way, using the same recipes and traditional methods since 1898.

Today, the business has a wide customer base stretching over Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex. The team make a range of more than 30 premium ice creams, delicious sorbets and seasonal flavours for weddings and events, and offer commissioned recipe combinations and patisseries from hand-picked partners.

General manager, Adrian Nichols, said: “We feel our success in reaching this incredible milestone is down to using local ingredients and traditional methods handed down through five generations, from 1898 when Giuseppe Parravani started it. Although we use modern equipment, which speeds up the ice cream-making process, the ingredients, methods, and recipes very much remain the same.”

To celebrate this special milestone, Parravanis has released a limited edition strawberries and cream flavour, only available until the 30th September 2023, with home delivery available anywhere in the UK.
