Grandparents' Day: Win a luxury Fortnum & Mason hamper by submitting your nan or grandad's best recipe
Ahead of Grandparents’ Day – a day dedicated to celebrating grandparents’ contribution - the team at Whitaker Grange is calling on Ossett to nominate their grandparent or great grandparent along with their go-to recipe or favourite meal to cook for the family.
They should include a bit about the current family-favourite dish, what makes it unique and any fond memories or traditions it evokes.

The winner will not only be awarded a luxury Fortnum & Mason hamper, but they will also be invited into the development for a free lunch to sample the menu on offer at Whitaker Grange.
Louise Flynn, divisional marketing manager at McCarthy Stone, said: “Being a grandparent or great grandparent is an incredibly important role, and with everything they do for the whole family, it’s only fitting that we do something special to celebrate them back.
“We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our competition - it is the perfect opportunity to give thanks and show our appreciation for the superb grandparents in our lives.

In a recent study by McCarthy Stone, it found that more than a third (35 per cent) of grandparents and great grandparents in the North are counted on to cook an evening meal for their families on a regular basis, meaning foodie get-togethers at grandma and grandpa’s house no longer just happen at weekends.
Those who wish to submit an entry should email [email protected] with the subject header “Whitaker Grange recipe submission”, along with their grandparents’ name and trademark recipe, the inspiration or story behind the dish (if applicable), and why it deserves to win by 11.59pm on October 22, 2023.
