Cooking show

A two-day food festival was held at Hare Hatch Sheeplands garden centre, near Wargrave. Among the dozens of stallholders was chef Brendon Ballantyne, who gave cooking demonstrations.

There was a festive theme to much of the produce on offer. Sheeplands owner Rob Scott added: “Our food festival has always been very popular and we welcomed plenty of visitors.”
