Look at this motley crew. It may look like an international bingo convention but these guys have helped secure a place for the East of England Agricultural Society in the Guinness Book of Records for eating the largest simultaneous roast meal.
The event attracted a whopping 1,362 people, proving that the traditional roast meal still holds its place in the hearts of the great British public. It also helped to raise more than £5,500 for Help for Heroes, the charity supporting wounded service personnel.
Chef Greg Pryce and his team of 14 were responsible for delivering the roast meals at the East of England Showground last month, with more than 200 volunteers helping to ensure two courses and coffee were served in less than 55 minutes.
Quality Standard Beef was donated by local farmers and EBLEX while potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire puddings were donated by local farmers and the showground's suppliers. Essential Cuisine's Beef Demi Glace was mixed with the beef juices to finish the meal off with some tasty gravy.
Andrew Mercer, chief executive of the East of England Agricultural Society, said: "We would like to thank all our supporters, volunteers and suppliers who donated goods to this worthwhile cause. There was a marvellous atmosphere and the food was superb."
One word from Product Junkie: yum.
