Publicans' daughter wins Great British Bake Off
Brown, who grew up in pubs managed by her parents, immortalised her upbringing during the biscuit week of the show where she made a gingerbread pub.
The Charles Wells Bedfordshire pub, the King William IV, is located in Kempston, where her parents ran the establishment during the 1990s.
It is currently listed on the Charles Wells website as available for lease and is described as a ‘well presented inn of local stone construction, under a pitched, tiled roof, occupying a delightful and prominent corner location within Kempston, Bedfordshire’.
Venue
It has a lounge bar, a restaurant, a beer garden and a sizeable living accommodation including two double and two single bedrooms.
In Brown’s gingerbread version of the pub, she showcased its wooden beams and sticky ginger carpet and pool table.
The historic venue has existed in the town since the 1660s – although it wasn’t until the Nineteenth Century that it was listed as a pub.
Brown, a PE teacher, won the star baker award for the pub, before going on to excel on numerous weeks throughout the competition and then winning the overall competition.
