BASINGSTOKE Bison fans will get the chance to be served food by some of their heroes during a charity evening being held at a town centre restaurant next week.

Between 7pm and 10pm on Wednesday, Doug Sheppard, Tomas Karpov, Grant Rounding, Joe Rand and Matt Selby will swap skates for aprons to serve customers at Zizzi, in London Street, Basingstoke.

The evening will raise money for Stand Up To Cancer, with all tips being donated to the charity.

Bison player/coach Sheppard said: “It should be a fun night. Any time you get the chance to help out a charity, it’s a good thing.”

Tim Marlow, general manager at Zizzi, added: “We are really looking forward to it.”

Advance booking is advised as the restaurant is almost at full capacity already. Book a table by calling Zizzi on 01256 358300.
