Cordon Bleu trained Kate has a wealth of experience in hospitality and catering, including managing banquets and conferencing at Winchester Guildhall. She especially enjoys organising functions, particularly weddings and family celebrations. Chris has traded in his life in IT to look after the customers, grounds and buildings.
Old Church Farm is in Rudgeway, a countryside village Almondsbury and Alveston. There are several public footpaths nearby that will take you across the fields. To the north of the property a footpath leads towards Alveston, which has a small selection of shops and further down to the market town of Thornbury with plenty of local traders, restaurants, pubs, supermarkets, golf course and leisure centre. Despite its rural location, the major shopping mall, Cribbs Causeway is just 13 mins away.
