Baby Shower Celebrations
Baby Showers at
THE ALVERTON
There is no adventure more life changing than parenthood. Celebrate the newest addition to the family with a baby shower at The Alverton. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering with your nearest and dearest, or an unforgettable party with all the bells and whistles, toast to the little one at our hotel.
The Alverton has a range of venue spaces, menus, and added extras, that can all be customised according to your party size, requirements, and theme. Set in our nineteenth-century grounds perched just outside of the Cornish capital, Truro is the perfect central base for an event. Our hotel offers privacy and tranquillity for you and your guests, concealed behind the ancient trees and manicured lawns of our private gardens.
We know a baby shower is a very personal moment a parent-to-be will remember forever. From helping you to set up and customise the space for the day, to providing screens or projectors for games and activities you’ve thoughtfully planned, our friendly team is on hand to make sure your vision is brought to life, and the day runs without a hiccup.
If you would like to visit the hotel for a tour to discuss your party’s requirements, or make a booking, please contact us on 01872 276 633 or email weddingandevents@thealverton.co.uk

THE ALVERTON ALLERGY STATEMENT
PLEASE SPEAK TO YOUR SERVER BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER, IF YOU SUFFER FROM ANY FOOD INTOLERANCE OR ALLERGY
PLEASE NOTIFY US
We take the presence of allergies and intolerances seriously. Allergen information is provided for our ingredients and dishes, but we ask you to advise us of any allergies or intolerances before you order. Whilst we have identified the allergens that are in the dishes, please be aware that there may be traces of allergens in the dish due to manufacturing or cooking methods.
DEEP FAT FRYING
Deep fat frying is an important cooking process in our kitchens; the ingredients within dishes which are deep fried will be cooked in the same fryer as other ingredients which may contain allergens and therefore there will be a risk of cross contamination.
CHANGING MENUS
Our chefs are always keen to create new dishes and introduce seasonal specialities. Please check allergen information each time you visit as changes to recipes are made.
OUR KITCHENS
Whilst we make every effort to minimise cross contamination, please be aware that our dishes are made and prepared in an environment where allergens are present.
OUR BARS – COFFEE AND COCKTAILS
Please advise your server of any allergy or intolerance you have. Our baristas and bar staff are allergy trained and will advise if your chosen beverage is suitable for your specific allergy or intolerance. If not, they will happily create something fantastic for you.
With many of us choosing a plant-based diet, more people are requesting milk alternatives. We embrace this preference, but special care for customers with allergies or intolerances is needed. Our baristas purge and wipe coffee machine arms after each use and only use one side of our machines for non-milk products, but these processes may not be enough to remove every trace of a potential allergen. If you have an allergen, our freshly prepared frothed milk drinks may not be suitable for you.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS
The policy of this company is that it does not knowingly sell any foods that contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). The only exception to this may be cooking oil for deep fat frying. As standard we use a non-GMO rapeseed oil. Due to global pressures, at times, our supplier may need to use vegetable oil; this product cannot be guaranteed as non-GMO.
PLEASE SPEAK TO US
On rare occasions, we may feel we will struggle to safely accommodate your needs. We will do everything we can to or offer you a suitable replacement.
