Partnership Announcement Partnerrsshiship Announcement Pa P sh shiphpAAnnnouncem m ment

Blenheim Park Estates are pleased to announce our new partnership with The Dore Bar & Grill.

This exciting collaboration will give our clients the opportunity to celebrate the completion of their house sale by enjoying a meal on us (up to the value of £150) at The Dore Bar & Grill when we sell their home.

Owned by the same restauranteurs who run the popular Bank House restaurant in Hathersage, The Dore Bar & Grill brings a fresh new eatery to the heart of Dore Village. Positioned on Church Lane, the restaurant will serve an Italian inspired food menu, to include pizza, pasta, grill and sharing boards. The official opening is set for Saturday the 13th of May. Also incorporated into the newly renovated building will be an on-site coffee shop and bakery called Castleton Coffee Co.

Blenheim Park Estates and The Dore Bar & Grill are connected by the ambition of providing an exceptional service.

“As a Sheffield-based estate agent, we are looking forward to working alongside a local business where there is symmetry in our overall goal which is that service is paramount in everything we do.” says Paul Blackburn, Managing Director of Blenheim Park Estates.

“We’re all so excited to be opening the new site here in Dore, we can’t wait to get up and running! And what better local company to partner with than Blenheim, we have a shared core belief that the key to success is the way in which we look after our customers. Exceptional service is what keeps people coming back time and time

Factory Direct Designer Kitchens

atUNBEATABLE PRICES

Any size, style or colour of your choice

“Lovely family firm, all the staff both in the office (especially Lauren), and the workmen that did the work were easy to deal with and dealt with queries quickly. Leah designed a lovely kitchen and utility with everything we wanted and nothing we did not want. She made some suggestions we had not thought of and it looks great and is very much user friendly.”

“Excellent service, excellent staff and AMAZING kitchen! My husband and I are so chuffed with our new kitchen/diner. We had two walls knocked through, a new wall and door built and a new kitchen installed. We could not be happier with the whole process from start to finish. Everyone at DKD are professional, helpful and genuinely seemed to care about giving us the best results.”
