Summary

Oliver’s been invited to the Borsetshire Rural Food Fayre; he’s hoping to put in an appearance but wants to be back to see Eddie’s special attraction at the fete. Ian’s judging at the fayre. Oliver comments Helen’s hoping for a top prize with her cheese so Adil will select it for Grey Gables. Oliver confides they’ve had to let the new Head of Food go already. He suggests Ian might be interested. Ian protests he’s a chef, not a head of food – and Adil wouldn’t want him anyway. Oliver’s disappointed, and Ian agrees to think about it. Later a judge pulls out of the food fayre, and Oliver suggests Helen take her place. It might impress Adil even more than a prize. Helen proceeds to mark down Cordwell Cream, the rival cheese being considered for Grey Gables. Ian protests judging has to be unbiased. Helen insists she marked it honestly. At the fete Eddie’s allocated the stall positions wrongly, and people are complaining. Lynda reassures struggling Joy; she’ll help smooth things over. Eddie arrives in a medieval warrener’s outfit, keen to get his surprise attraction set up for later. George passes Lynda the QR code for her brochures before setting off for his charity challenge, and all is underway. George’s bale stacking is a success, but Lynda can’t relax, fretting about Eddie. However when he unveils his Grundy Ferrets Wheel she’s charmed; it’s quite wonderful and captures perfectly the spirit of the fete. And her brochures have over five hundred downloads. What an event for her to bow out on!
