I THOROUGHLY enjoyed an Afternoon Tea event at Bolton Whites Hotel last week.

It was organised by the Turton local committee of Cancer Research UK, which has raised many thousands of pounds over the years for this important charity, and included a cookery demonstration by celebrity chef Paul Heathcote.

Local boy Paul used to be on TV fairly often but became busier with his own catering empire. His fun presentation underlined once more that, just because people aren’t on telly, they don’t have value.

Paul is plainly one of the most entertaining and knowledgeable chefs around, and deserves more exposure.
