FINE dining was a celebration of legal professionals’ support for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
A dinner, courtesy of top Island chef Robert Thompson and a number of Island companies, was served to solicitors.
The chef and his team gave their time and produce to serve a four-course meal. Accompanying drinks were selected by Eurovines, which supported the event, with Eldridge’s Solicitors.
Coast and Country provided tables, chairs and cutlery and a number of volunteers gave their time to help.
More than 50 people, including solicitors and hospice staff, enjoyed their meal in the John Cheverton Centre, which was transformed into a dining area.
Founder of commercial law firm Bates Wells Braithwaite, Lord Phillips of Sudbury, was among the guests.
He praised the work of Island solicitors and gave anecdotes from his career as a solicitor specialising in charity law.
Hospice chief executive Nigel Hartley said: "The evening was a celebration of local solicitors’ on-going support for Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
"They are a very important part of our work and I am very grateful to all the Island companies who helped us to thank them in this special way."
Solicitors’ support for the hospice includes their participation in Making a Will Fortnight and helping people make bequests to support the hospice’s work.
