The masterminds behind an attempt to make the world's largest ploughman's lunch are waiting to hear if they have been successful.

The colossal piece of edible food art, which was unveiled in Battersea Park on Friday, was made up of more than one tonne of Seriously Strong cheddar, 160 bloomers, 21 kilos of lettuce, 60 kilos of tomatoes, 1,500 spring onions, 6,500 pickled onions, 100 litres of pickle, and 175 kilos of butter.

It took food artists and specialist set builders more than 400 man hours to design and build the Guinness world record attempt, which was arranged by the Seriously Strong cheese range.

Organisers are this week submitting the attempt to Guinness - and are hopeful of success after they were told to enter a ploughman's that weighed at least 250 kilos.

The meal, which was made using ingredients from Covent Garden Supply, was tucked into by visitors to the Foodies Festival, in Battersea Park, after it had been on display for a day.
