Supporting local charities, one dessert at a time
A heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful customers for your support since we opened The Ashford Arms in March 2024! We’re thrilled to share that, thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised an incredible (and growing) £5,037 through the sales of our charity dessert: Homemade Bakewell almond tart, served with crème anglaise and raspberry ice cream.
For every dessert sold, £1 is donated directly to Blythe House Hospice, a vital local charity providing free hospice care at home across North East Derbyshire. Based in Chapel-en-le-Frith, Blythe House offers a range of free services including nursing care, complementary therapies, counselling for adults and children, and comprehensive family support.
We’re incredibly proud to partner with a charity that gives so much to local people in need. Thank you for helping us make a difference, one dessert at a time.
Ongoing local support across all our venues
At Longbow Venues, we truly believe in giving back to the communities we serve. Across all our venues, we’ve introduced a simple but meaningful initiative: For every dessert sold, we donate £1 to a local charity chosen by each venue.
Here’s how your sweet tooth is making an impact:
- At The Peacock at Owler Bar, the classic and much-loved Bakewell tart returns as their charity dessert, with £1 from every portion going to ME and DE Charity, supporting individuals with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Dysautonomia.
- At The George in Hathersage, enjoy their refreshing Mojito tart, served with gin-poached summer fruits and vanilla ice cream. Each dessert sold supports the Ruth Strauss Foundation, providing emotional support to families facing the loss of a parent.
- At The Maynard, indulge in their Matcha and white chocolate mousse, served with a delicate long du chat biscuit and sweet mango & passionfruit chutney. Every dessert sold contributes to Edale Mountain Rescue, who deliver vital emergency assistance across the Peak District.
From indulgent desserts to heartfelt causes, thank you for being part of something truly special.
Book your table or stay with us today and turn your next treat into a meaningful way to give back.
