BUDDING chefs will put on a charity afternoon tea in the grounds of Winchester Cathedral.

Exclusive Chefs’ Academy, part-based at Lainston House, is raising money for Naomi House and jacksplace on Wednesday, April 29 at 2pm.

Nyetimber English sparkling wine will be served be-fore guests are seated at 2.30pm for sandwiches, cakes and bottomless cups of Twinings tea.

The event is part of the pastry module of the chefs’ two-year development programme, devised by Exclusive’s executive chef Andy MacKenzie.

Chief operating officer of Naomi House and the Dean of Winchester Cathedral will speak and there will be a raffle, with prizes including preview tickets to the cathedral’s Flower Festival and goodies from the Exclusive Hotels and Venues Group.

Tickets are £25 per person plus a small booking charge.
