A Chesterfield drinks producer is set to showcase some of the town’s fabulous local produce on TV’s Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh.
Hogg Norton’s gooseberry liqueur will be featured on the ITV 1 show, which will be aired on Sunday, 4th June. The product is made by the company here in Chesterfield, amongst a wide range of tasty fruit liqueurs.
All of the Gooseberries used in the product are grown in Chesterfield around the Holymoorside area.
Michael Norton, Co-Founder of Hogg Norton said: “It is amazing to see our products on the TV. It showcases what we produce, especially as it is all from Chesterfield and also the quality of our products as well.
“This is the second time with Andy and Alan on Love Your Weekend, as the Cherry flavour was on the show last year. We have also previously featured in the Great British Menu with our Sloe and Rhubarb liqueur too.
Michael added that he is proud to be putting Chesterfield on the map with his products: “What we produce in Chesterfield, and the fact that nearly all the fruit we use is from Chesterfield really gives that local link, which to us is very important. I feel makes us stand out in the industry.
“We have also been showcased previously by winning eight Great Taste Awards and two Great British Food awards, which is also testament to the quality of our liqueurs.
“Buying local is so important to any local producer. The passion and quality that goes into our products, and the fact that it is made locally with local ingredients really is something to be proud of. For locals to buy something which is from their area makes it that extra bit special.”
The guests joining Alan Titchmarsh on the show will be Lesley Joseph, Dan Walker, Anne Reid and Nancy Carol, with Andy Clarke (pictured right) hosting the cocktail session.
Hogg Norton supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
