Meanwhile, Nick Gillespie, the restaurant's owner and chef, said: "We're really lucky to be right on the border.

"Our clients come from Derbyshire as well as Nottinghamshire...we're a Nottingham postcode, a Nottingham address, but Derbyshire apparently by border."

"The game is losing interest amongst the traditional supporters. We have to attract a new audience in and it is events like this doing that."

Staff from a theme park have come to the rescue of Belper's Mr Potato Head...

The figure, which is outside the town's Methodist church, had its arm ripped off by vandals last week.

But after an appeal by the town's former mayor, staff from Guillver's Kingdom in Matlock Bath stepped up to help.

Jim Topliss, from the attraction, said: "We have a few figures and models for the children to play with and quite often they get parts of them ripped off.

"So we are used to repairing arms and legs of cowboys, Indians, pirates and dinosaurs."

Mr Potato Head was a gift to Belper from its twin town Pawtucket in Rhode Island, USA, home to the original children's toy.
