PICKLES tickled the judges fancy at the Crown and Sceptre's grand autumn chutney challenge.
After chewing over the entries in the Horns Road pub's "Pickle Off" a quince jelly made by Martin Mason emerged as supreme champion of the competition held on Sunday.
There were jams and marmalades too, plus pickled onions and eggs, alongside the premier pickles, chutney and piccalilli all lined up in their polished jars.
