The guys from The Packhorse pub in Northborough proved just how good their food is when they served up a treat to none other than the Hairy Bikers. The two celebs made a special appearance at Waterstones on Bridge Street and were treated by the pub’s chefs to some fantastic food which won the Hairy’s seal of approval.

PACKHORSE CHEFS TREAT THE HARY BIKERS
It was a fabulous night at the book signing with over 200 people wound like a river inside the store to make sure they all stayed dry and warm. The guys from The Packhorse kept everyone fed with some fabulous food. Manager Anna Elmore who organised the event told ESP – “Si and Dave (the Hairy Bikers) were amazed to see so many people as they'd been to Peterborough twice before and were thrilled with the idea of us having changed the event from a signing to an ‘eating fest’ as they put it, although they were concerned with food getting on the books! “They signed for a solid hour and a half and then were served up a fabulous array of dishes from the guys at The Packhorse and loved every mouthful – we expected them to only try a mouthful of each but they more or less polished off the whole lot!”

Gina told ESP having the new soap star there made it extra special – “David’s so lovely, we’ve known him for many years but to have our own celebrity turning the lights on was just fantastic. We had about 300 people turn out and raised £600 at the light switch-on alone.”
