An award-winning wedding and events caterer in the Fens is now sharing their love for all things sweet.

The owners of March-based B&R Dining have begun taking online orders for their new brownie bakery and delivery business, Alstons Confectionery.

Founder and head chef of B&R Dining Peter McAleese always had a passion for baking.

However, the company's name is inspired by Nana Alston, who ran a family bakery in Manchester over 50 years ago.

Her passion for baking inspired her grandson, now an award-winning chef and baker, to continue her tradition with a new generation.

Peter said: “Some of my fondest memories are helping Nana Alston in the bakery as a teenager.

“She taught me the importance of quality ingredients, patience, and care, lessons that are at the heart of everything we do at Alston’s today.”
