Newly appointed chef, Tudor Bradu, a recent recruit to the catering team at St Benedict's Nursing Home in Glastonbury, has proved his prowess by wowing residents and guests at the home's annual summer barbecue.

Tudor's culinary skills were just one of the attractions at an event which attracted over 50 attendees.

Guests were entertained by Celtic folk band Maythorne, whose performance was enthusiastically received by those present.

William Merivale, deputy operations manager at St Benedict's Nursing Home, said: "The annual barbecue is now a firm fixture on our calendar, and we were blessed with beautiful weather for it.

"We made sure the barbecue food catered for all tastes, and I think Tudor enjoyed being put through his paces making sure everyone received their food promptly.

"He did a great job: it was all beautifully cooked and we were delighted to have him in charge of our catering.

"The live band had everybody's toes tapping and lent a great atmosphere to the day.

"Safe to say the whole event was hailed as a great success and we're looking forward to doing it all again next year."
