A Cheltenham hotel is helping the charity Cheltenham Open Door to provide food for the town's disadvantaged people.

Last week the chef from the 4-star Malmaison Hotel met the cook from Cheltenham Open Door to discuss how they prepare meals for their different clientele and how Malmaison can help by providing food for the charity on a regular basis.

Cheltenham Open Door feed the homeless and vulnerable in Grosvenor Street and chef Rose Radford often has to cook meals for them with a random selection of produce.

Malmaison manager Steven Wilmer said: "We are really pleased to get this project off the ground and help to support the disadvantaged in Cheltenham. It is an inspiring charity and Rose is a passionate chef."

Sara Reader, manager from Cheltenham Open Door, said she was thrilled that this project has come together and hopes it might inspire other hotels to also get on board in the future.
