Yorkshire pudding fans make six-hour round trip to try pub’s foot-long puds

YORKSHIRE pudding fans are prepared to make a six-hour round trip to try a pub’s giant puds.

Manager Chris Allen, 47, says diners are gobsmacked when they see the Bulls Head’s signature Yorkies — which are ten times bigger than regular ones.

Each foot-long creation is made fresh to order from a pudding mix and cooked for 25 minutes.

The pub in Turnford, Herts, serves the six-inch-wide whoppers on their specials menu and fill them with either Cumberland sausages or slow braised beef brisket, plus mash and seasonal vegetables — all drowned in gravy.

After the Bulls Head posted a photo of Chris, from Barnsley, South Yorks, holding two of the puddings online, one Facebook user joked: “Like a Moses basket fit for a Yorkshire baby”.

Chris said: “People are always gobsmacked by them. I’m from Yorkshire so they have to be proper.

“The distances people are willing to travel are pretty powerful.

“Someone said he would travel three hours and stay overnight to try one.”
