“We haven’t a Prue but we do have a Sue judging and I hope I can issue a few Paul Hollywood style handshakes on the evening.

“It will be a lovely way to spend a Monday evening in December and there will be mince pies, mulled wine, and hot drinks to purchase on the night too.”

Entrants are invited to present their bakes for judging by 4pm on Monday, December 19.

Prizes will be awarded for each age category, five to 11 years, 12-18 and 18 plus.

Remaining bakes will be sold on the night to raise money for the charity Hope Central.

Entrants must contact The Tea Room in advance to confirm their participation in the competition.

Sue said: “Although it has been a challenging year for hospitality we have been overwhelmed with support from our lovely customers.

“We are really excited about our Christmas 2022 event programme and are especially excited to taste other people’s bakes.

“We promise we will not be too harsh, after all it is for a good cause.”
