But tennis fans visiting the prestigious tournament this summer will be treated to the spicier side of life as one of Nottingham’s top Indian eateries will be serving up a twist on its famous bhajis.

Bombay Delicatessen is hoping to ace it after being handpicked for inclusion in the championship’s £155 picnics and hampers for VIP guests and corporate clients. Its bespoke version is a petit pois, courgette and pea shoot fritter with mint and basil and beetroot and plum chutney.

It features alongside the best of British from other producers across the country on a menu including horseradish, buttermilk and dill scones, chalk stream trout pâté, pork pie, millionaire’s tart and strawberries and cream.
