Last Wednesday our celebrity Sporting Chefs cooked up some fantastic food for 60 guests at our Charity dinner on behalf of Children in Need. A spectacular performance from all 8 celebrity chefs ensured all courses were served on time and to the highest standards. If we don't see some of them competing on Celebrity Master Chef we will be amazed - they all should terrific flair and attention to detail.
The guests voted for their favourite dish of the evening which went to Brian Deane and Simon Tracey for their platter of seared fish. Brian Deane shown above receiving his prize as donated by Rangemaster.
At the end of a very eventful and lively auction hosted by John Beresford and David Hirst saw an impressive £7000 raised. Pledges are still coming in so the total should rise. Well done to everyone involved for their generosity in raising so much for this worthy charity.
