STAFF and customers at a Woodstock hotel joined people in France by staging their own Bastille Day celebrations yesterday.
Special menus featuring French dishes were created and there were wine and cheese-tasting sessions in the courtyard garden of The Feathers in Market Street.
Manager Luc Morel, 41, originally from Lyon, south-east France, said: “This is the second year we have staged our own Bastille Day celebrations and we are expecting about 200 guests throughout the day.
“This reminds me of where I come from and it’s a good chance to introduce the locals to some lovely French wine and cuisine.”
Sales manager Ben Harrison, 35, from Headington, added: “This is a good chance to demonstrate our chefs’ skills and have fun.”
