Mark was thrilled to win the 'race', especially as the vegetable is traditionally grown in the Midlands.

On Tuesday Mark was at the Marks & Spencer store in Truro to help drive local asparagus sales, as part of an in store promotion organised in conjunction with Flamingo UK .

The event - involving old fashioned barrows and the barbecuing of samples - drew considerable interest from the public who thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to taste the samples on offer.

Present at the promotion - were Ian Michell & Andy Jones from Flamingo UK, and Cornish Pirates players Gareth Tedstone and Lewis Webb.

Mark Rowe - a proud Cornishman - is a keen follower of the Cornish Pirates, whilst Club President Dicky Evans is the CEO of Flamingo Holdings
