READING is famous for its biscuits – and it’s hoped that the winner of a new contest will be the talk of the town.
As part of its celebration theme, Pride of Reading is encouraging people to devise a new biscuit.
The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony in December, hosted by Chris Tarrant.
Awards organisers want people to join them in championing numerous anniversaries in the town.
That includes 2022 being the 200th anniversary of Huntley & Palmers, the town’s legendary biscuit bakers.
Use your imagination to create a celebratory biscuit recipe that honours something interesting about Reading’s history or heritage. Recipes should not use nuts or cream.
The competition is supported by sponsor Jacobs the Jewellers, as they prepare to celebrate their 75th anniversary next year.
The winner bags a place at the awards lunch at Reading FC Conference & Events – and can bring a guest.
