George Wimpey cooks up a storm in Eskbank

George Wimpey invited celebrity chef Nick Nairn to cook up a storm in one of the showhome kitchens of their flagship development at St David's Gardens in Eskbank, Dalkeith on Saturday 4 October, 2008.

Putting the kitchen of the four bedroom Newbattle showhome through its paces, Nick entertained visitors at the development throughout the afternoon. Plus visitors enjoyed our town ‘house' party within the three bedroom, townhouse showhome as we showcased just how versatile three storey living can be.

Making himself quite at home, Nick created fabulous and mouth-watering dishes that would keep guests more than happy at any impromptu house-warming party or family get-together, and the modern fully-fitted kitchen of the Newbattle more than stood up to the test of chef Nick.

The showarea at St David's Gardens boasts an impressive four bedroom Newbattle home- just one of the four bedroom detached styles available at this development, and the three bedroom, three storey Roche townhouse. Both of these showhomes have been individually styled to show customers the full potential of the space they could be calling home, and also boast two very individual looks.

It's been great to have Nick at St David's Gardens to road-test one of our showhomes as Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for George Wimpey East Scotland explains: "We're all keen to learn the tricks of the trade when it comes to effortless entertaining, and Nick's cookery demonstrations have brought our Newbattle showhome kitchen to life. Plus he's given us some great tips and ideas on how to create stunning and mouth-watering food in this well-proportioned modern kitchen.

"Nick's shown that with some cracking ingredients and some creative flair, just how easy it can be for our customers can make the most of entertaining and having fun at home.

"St David's Gardens is just one of three fantastic developments George Wimpey has available at the moment in Mid-Lothian - with both The Chesters in Bonnyrigg, and Wester Meadow in neighbouring Dalkeith each offering an impressive range of family homes to suit a wide range of customers and budgets. There are also two new showhomes that have recently opened at Wester Meadow, so it's a great chance to check out what's available at this development too."
