Patriotic tale of a Devon village winning the war with carrot Christmas cake and granny's favourite recipe.

Hearty enthusiasm is the dish of the day in this patriotic tale of a Devon village leading the way in the government's Dig for Victory campaign by organising a Food Education Week. Part record of a real event, part dramatised propaganda, the film features staff and children at the local school in Bampton, who deliver their scripted lines with a touching blend of naturalism and embarrassment.
