Alison Cox from The Radish said: “We’re really excited about hosting part of the Faces Behind Our Food art trail. We’re looking forward to seeing one or two familiar faces on our walls.

“The exhibition is a great idea and taking it out to the places where people actually come to get their food is brilliant.

“I’m sure it will give us and our customers some really interesting food for thought...sorry!”

The art trail will officially launch on December 2 with food and music at The Radish from 5pm.
