Firefighters from Harrogate’s White Watch have cooked more than 50 Sunday roasts for local people. Bruce Reid, the watch manager, told The Stray Ferret that he decided to get cooking when he realised he’d be working both this Sunday and next Sunday.
Bruce said he arrived for work early this morning with an idea of how many meals he could cook but it snowballed..
“I got into work at 8am this morning with an idea that I’d cook around 28 meals but then the whole thing grew and by the time we’d finished we had produced 52. I’d like to thank Susie Little from Covid-Cooperation Harrogate for getting in touch and offering to help with deliveries – we’d have been pulling our hair out without her help”

Lunch was the full monty — roast beef, yorkshire puds, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, parsnips and cabbage. The lunches were donated to people in need who fitted a set criteria- either medically or financially.
Bookers donated one joint of beef – the rest was paid for my Mr Reid himself.
