This is where I was taken for a 50th Birthday surprise by my friends C & P, if you remember hubby & I where bestman and bestlady at their wedding.
The Pudding Club was set up in 1985 to preserve the tradition of the 'Great British Pudding'.
They suggest you have a small main course, no starter.
The Menu
The Puddings
There are 7 puddings Syrup Sponge, Lord Randall's Pudding,( steamed pudding made with marmalade and Apricots)Sticky Toffee Pudding, Spotted Dick and Custard, Rhubarb Crumble, Squidgy Chocolate Pudding and Apple & Mincemeat Pudding, plus they make 8 gallons of custard!
You are expected to sample them all (if you can)and the rules are that you are not allowed to have two puddings in your bowl at one time so you must finish each one in turn! I though I was very clever and had very small portions of each pudding.
Yes I did manage all 7, I have a certificate to prove it! At the end of the evening we voted on the favourite pudding of the night...... Squidgy Chocolate Pudding won, followed by my particular favourite Apple & Mincemeat Pudding!
One gentleman had 8 helpings of Spotted Dick??? Which begs the question why go to a Pudding Evening and only have one pudding????

The view from our room...
Would I recommend this, most definately, fantastic food, beautiful hotel, wonderful location and to die for puddings!! Well try it at least once!
I think I maybe 50 again next year and I'm sure with my bad memory I could convince evreyone that I had never had a birthday or any presents so they would have to do it all over again!!!!!!!!!!!
