Fancy dress, wrestling and lashings of gravy were the order of the day as “one of the world’s craziest culinary competitions” returned after a two-year Covid-induced hiatus. A host of wrestlers took part in the 12th annual World Gravy Wrestling Championships at the Rose ‘N’ Bowl Pub in Rossendale, Lancashire, on Monday. The event sees competitors grapple in a pool of gravy in two-minute bouts. Pub restaurant manager Carol Lowe said it was “amazing to be back”.
