The Fat Badger Farm Shop Restaurant wins Best Start-Up

 A packed Spirit of Rugby at Twickenham Stadium Friday raised the roof for the 'best of the best' businesses and charities in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Directors and their teams gathered for the Richmond Spring Ball and presentation of 2022 Awards by BAFTA's  Anne Morrison and what a memorable evening it was!
