Chineham Park Announces Basingstoke Sandwich Competition Winner

Chineham Park, Basingstoke's leading business location, has announced The Blazingsmoke as the winner of its Basingstoke sandwich competition in association with Dayer's Fine Foods, the park's onsite restaurant.

The Blazingsmoke, created by Laura Finney, was the biggest selling sandwich of the competition and its ingredients include smoked ham or smoked bacon with crisp lettuce and a spicy fresh tomato salsa.

Laura Finney, business development assistant for HCR Group the UK’s largest independent relocation company, said: “I was thrilled to win such a fantastic and unusual competition. It was great to see businesses give something back to the local community. My prize was amazing and has caused a great deal of envy at work.

“Many of our staff recently volunteered for a tree planting day as part of HCR’s pledge to plant a tree for every corporate relocation undertaken. Therefore, I have decided to raffle off the prize of one month’s worth of sandwiches to help raise money for our next planting day.

“I hope that Dayer’s and MEPC especially, as a UK Green Building Council member, will be pleased to hear that they have helped us continue to reduce the UK’s carbon footprint.”

Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “On behalf of Chineham Park, I would like to congratulate Laura on her achievement. The Blazingsmoke was popular with the judges and it has proven to be Basingstoke’s favourite.”

As well as receiving a prestigious silver salver, The Blazingsmoke has a permanent position on the Dayer’s sandwich menu and Laura gets a lunchtime sandwich free for one month.
