RESIDENTS at a Reading care home and their families and friends recently enjoyed an evening of food and fun.

Shinfield View care home in Berkshire regularly holds family quiz nights with themed food.

At its latest event, quizzers were able to enjoy a Chinese-inspired feast of chow mein, spring rolls, and prawn crackers.

Six teams battled it out across eight quiz rounds.

One team was made up entirely of residents, who were supported by staff to jot down their answers, adding to the inclusive, family-style feel of the event.

Quiz questions ranged from geography and history to film, food and gardening, with the winning team taking away a hamper of wine, cheese, and chocolates.
