Thomas Paine Hoteliers Gez and Rosy Chetal celebrated 8 years of owning their hotel on 31st July. During their celebration which included an Indian Buffet for their guests, they raised valuable funds for local and national charities. Gez said “We raised a total of £1676.00, with £1466.00 going to New U Enterprises and Athena Eduction and my daughter had her haircut for the first time in 16 years and she raised £211.00 which was donated to the princess trust as well as 18 inches of her haircut. Our charity events have always been hosted by Ricky Groves ex eastenders star and he will again be hosting our next charity event on November 20th. Since we have bought the hotel we have donated over £40k to local charities which makes us proud that we have achieved this with local support” They are really looking forward to their Bond themed Charity Casino Night on the 20th November 2021 – tickets are available by contacting the hotel on 01842 750372
