Churchill rates The Country Food & Dining EIS Fund as the ‘Best
Asset Backed EIS’!! Martin Churchill, the Editor of the Tax Efficient Review, published his findings in March having assessed all EIS products presently on offer. He summarised that this new EIS could ‘produce good returns’ and rated it the best in the category. To be rated as the best EIS in the market by Martin Churchill demonstrates the high calibre of the team operating in an unexploited EIS asset class’.

| The Country Food and
Dining Company was established in November 2006. The aim was to
establish a group of high quality, well located farm shop style
businesses, each with a strong on-site catering offer; operating
principally in the South of England. Following an initial private fundraising in 2007 under the Enterprise Investment Scheme, the freehold assets of Highclose Farm Shop, near Marlborough and Hungerford, were acquired in October 2007. Highclose is now being extended and improved through a modest capital investment to be ready by late June 2008. Through a further placement by initial investors, together with a fundraising by Smith and Williamson, to date over £4.7 million has been raised. This should enable the Company to purchase a further 2 sites over the forthcoming year. Founders include Non Executive Chairman David Bruce, who has over 40 years experience in the brewing and leisure industries; Gordon Leatherdale who comes from a banking and military background and Kris Gumbrell, who has 20 years experience in the brewing and catering industry.
