Artists and specialist set builders also used 21 Kilos of lettuce, 60 kilos of tomatoes, 1,500 spring onions, 6,500 pickled onions, 100 litres of pickle and 175 kilos of butter to create the World Record attempt.
Festival-goers had the chance to experience the experience the full magnitude of the sculpture “Alice in Wonderland” style before it was dismantled and shared into 1,000 Ploughman’s lunches amongst spectators to enjoy.
Successful TV chef and food writer Paul Merrett unveiled the sculpture as part of a mission to “bring back” the Great British Ploughman’s lunch by encouraging Brits to not only enjoy the iconic dish in the pub, but create their very own Ploughman’s to share with friends and family at home”.
Caroline Parkins of Leakers Bakery said; “It’s great to see so many people enjoying good food in the outdoors”.
