Drivers stuck in port traffic on Christmas Eve were very taken with a grandmother's tasty knockers.

For Jill Martin of the Town Kitchen headed into Dover with a freshly made batch of food joy - her award winning pastry snacks.

The Former Come Dine With me contestant said: "We met lorry drivers from all over Europe - the best people you could wish to meet.

"They were so happy to see me and they loved my Knockers."

Mrs Martin's culinary creations gained international acclaim in March 2019 when she won The World Championship Pasty Competition.

Held at The Eden Project in Cornwall, it was there that she won first prize for her Betteshanger Big Breakfast Kentish Knocker.

Since then her Knockers have flown from the stand at her Deal Market stall each week and her business The Town Kitchen has gone from strength to strength, operating from her home, where she produces mouth watering dishes to order and take away.
