Jean-Christophe offered his services for free to help raise money for Tim.

Cannon Hall Farm's Robert Nicholson said: "We are really honoured that someone like Jean-Christophe has given up his valuable time to help us raise money for Tim and his family.

“Tim is really well thought of, being an experienced chef himself who once appeared on television show Great British Menu, and so it really means a lot that people wish to support him like this.
