"We ran out of food by about 1pm," said village hall management committee chairman Dennis Blackmore.

"We'd got some locally-brewed beer specially made and we got through 100 bottles. Mind you, it is tropical today."

Events at the village hall usually draw plenty of people.  

John Marshall-Grint, chairman of North Wootton Parish Council said: "There's still a real village feel here, even though we're on the edge of town."
