PUB GROUP SEEKS NATION’S HIDDEN TREASURES


28 June 2012

A nationwide search for Britain’s hidden attractions has been launched by
the Vintage Inns  group of country pubs.

The Vintage Guide to Britain aims to unearth the little-known but much-loved
beauty spots, local customs, dishes and must-see sites from throughout the
nation. Vintage Inns is inviting people to submit their hidden treasures,
which will be collected on the group’s Facebook page and website.

Clair O’Neill, Head of Brand Marketing at Vintage Inns, said: “With the
Olympics on the horizon and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee just gone, it seems
the entire nation is celebrating the best of Britain. We are as excited
about these momentous events as anyone, but at the same time we wanted to
highlight some of the quirky, out-of-the-way but adored attractions that
make Britain such a unique and wonderful place.

“Whether it’s an ancient local tradition, fantastically idiosyncratic little
shop, a long-abandoned yet beautiful Victorian folly or a walk that takes
your breath away in more ways than one, we want to hear about it.”

The submissions will be used to create the Vintage Guide to Britain , which
will take the form of an interactive map, offering users a valuable resource
when planning days out.

“My own submission would be a place on the coast near Croyde in Devon – a
spot overlooking the sea called Baggy Point,” Clair added.

“It’s a wonderful walk up a cliff-side path and at the top there is a
lookout post you can climb for incredible ocean views as sheep mill about
you below. It’s simple, special and somehow incredibly British.”

The top 10 submissions will go to a vote among the Facebook community and
the winning entry will be awarded a grand prize a meal for two every month
for a year.

To submit Hidden Treasures and find out more, log on at

stunning locations, in picturesque villages or rolling countryside.

Inverness in Scotland.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
