Hundreds turned out for this year’s Baldock Big Lunch which was served up on Sunday in a sunny High Street.

Dishes from The White Lion pub, Taste Cafe, The Lancer Indian Cuisine, Cox’s Fish & Chips and Chapmans Butchers – which supplied the meat for the barbecue – satisfied around 400 stomachs as tunes from London-based PaNation Steel Band created a feel good vibe to the afternoon.

The annual community event, organised by the Baldock Town Partnership, also included a bouncy castle for youngsters and face painting fun.

“A big thank you to The White Lion pub, Taste Cafe, The Lancer Indian Cuisine, Cox’s Fish & Chips and Chapmans Butchers, who supplied their delicious meats for the barbecue, as well as Baldock Community Centre, Knights Templar School and St Mary’s Church for their support.
