SCHOOLCHILDREN from Sparsholt are preparing for a cooking competition where their work will be judged by one of Hampshire’s top chefs.

Sparsholt Church of England Primary School pupils have been holding their own MasterChef style classes and will hold a ‘final’ on Monday (May 18).

Head chef of Lainston House Hotel, Andy MacKenzie, will be one of two judges giving feedback on their dishes – which will include local produce.
