Most recently the company's director vets Jim McKinstry and Mark Stott were challenged to swap their waterproofs for an apron in a “Bake Off” style competition to raised money for the charity Macmillan Cancer Support.

“We normally host coffee mornings at our practices, which are really well supported,” said Jim. “This year because of the Covid restrictions these cannot go ahead so we wanted to do something different to still raise money for this great charity.”

The resulting video is now live on social media - and had 927 views in the first 12 hours - along with photos of the vets' final cakes, a Mary Berry Victoria sponge.

The winner will be announced on September 25, when the vet with the most votes (likes) will be crowned star baker.
