Our Good Deeds

On 27th February 2025, The Alverton played host to an unforgettable celebration of Cornwall’s finest produce and hospitality at the inaugural Great Coast-to-Coast Charity Dinner. More than just a culinary event, this spectacular evening raised an incredible £16,000 for Hospitality Action, a charity dedicated to supporting those in the hospitality industry who’ve fallen on hard times.

The night brought together some of Cornwall’s most high-profile chefs, each lending their expertise to create a five-course dinner that showcased the very best of the county’s seafood, grass-fed meats, and harvest. It was an evening of gastronomic excellence, with dishes carefully paired with selected wines and beers, creating a dining experience that delighted all 120 guests in attendance.

In an incredible showcase of determination and perseverance, we were so proud to be sponsoring The Alverton’s own receptionist, Saff. During a 24-hour run in aid of the Cornwall Community Foundation, Saff completed a five-mile loop on 4th August 2023.

Running throughout the night and into the day, she managed to raise a whopping £1,110 for The Alverton’s charity of the year. We couldn’t be more delighted for her, well done Saff!

On 13th October 2022, we co-hosted a charity dinner in aid of The Fisherman’s Mission. Working to support local fishermen and their families, this is a cause dear to many a Cornish heart. Guests were sung into the Great Hall by the Mevagissey shanty group Stuns’ls, who laid down a perfect atmosphere for the evening. Showcasing the very best seafood, grass-fed meats and harvest available across The Duchy in celebration of such a worthy charity, the evening was curated by some of Cornwall’s top chefs. St. Enodoc’s Guy Owen joined us, along with Kota’s Jude Kereama, The Rick Stein group’s Stephane Delourme and, of course, the Cornwall Hotel Collection‘s very own Nick Hodges and Darryl Collins. BBC Radio Cornwall‘s Daphne Skinnard assisted in hosting the evening and encouraged many a raised hand during the auction. With some top-quality local suppliers and businesses kindly donating some incredible prizes, the evening turned out to be a huge success, raising an impressive £5,500.
