British film director in Newbury tomorrow (Tuesday)

Tickets for special screening with questions and answers from the director of Love's Kitchen are selling fast

JUST a handful of tickets are still available for a special screening of a new British film, inspired by a West Berkshire publican, at Newbury Corn Exchange tomorrow night (Tuesday).

James Hacking, the director of the film Love's Kitchen, will be on hand to answer the audience's questions after the film is shown.

Love's Kitchen came out on general release on June 24 and is loosely based on West Berkshire publican John Haley's move from a pub in Crystal Palace, London, to The Old Boot in Stanford Dingley 15 years ago.

Mr Haley, a friend of the Duchess of Cambridge, has said he will be attending the premiere of the film in London.

For Mr Hacking (pictured, right, with chef Gordon Ramsay, middle, and cinematographer Jordan Cushing), whose parents Chris and Caroline live locally, in Brimpton, Love's Kitchen is his debut feature film and he will attend the Corn Exchange screening to chat to the audience on June 28.

The film starts at 6.05pm and the question and answer session will start at approximately 7.30pm but is only available to those who have a ticket to the screening.

Love's Kitchen will also be shown at the same theatre on June 26 and 29. For tickets call the box office on (01635) 522733.
