The title, which features contributions from celebrities, politicians and chefs, will initially have a 20,000 print run at the company.

Author Squadron Leader Jon Pullen, war veteran Simon Weston and Hazel Cushion, managing director of Accent Press, which publishes the title, attended the launch at the Frome-based printer.

Jeremy Snell, sales director at Butler Tanner & Dennis, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for us to get involved with a great British cause.

"We are delighted to be printing the Food For Heroes book and supporting the charity."

Food For Heroes will hit the shelves on June 27. All profits from the titles are being donated to the Help For Heroes charity, which aids wounded military personnel.
