Winners and guests of the 2015 Perkins Power on the Farm Award were treated to a fabulous dinner – and the opportunity to make pasta and cocktails with the experts.
Guild Members and guests made pasta under the watchful eye of the famous Italian pasta chef Andrea Cirino, who featured on Masterchef earlier this year.
A cocktail master class followed dinner in a private dining room – enabling diners to raise a glass or two to the Guild, Perkins and this year’s two Power on the Farm winners.
A tongue-in-cheek look at what tractors might look like in 2050 saw Farmers Weekly machinery editor David Cousins scoop the 2015 Perkins Power on the Farm Award.
