The Half Penny Farm pub in Oldbury, West Midlands, part of Greene King’s Farmhouse Inn brand, has combined the flavours in a bid to create the UK’s first giant Creme Egg Yorkshire pudding.
The pub introduced the seasonal Easter treat to meet a growing demand for “unique and unusual dishes”.
Family time
Half Penny Farm general manager Mark Tennant said: “Easter is the perfect time to gather the family and feast together for a delicious homely meal, finished off – of course – with chocolate!
“All our cakes at the pub are handmade by our dedicated team so this year we put our 'cake-a-tier' to the test to create something truly ‘eggs-travagant’ as a special Easter cake, and we have not been disappointed.
“Our giant Yorkshire puddings are a firm favourite on our carvery menu, encouraging diners to pack theirs full of succulent meats and seasonal vegetables, so we thought why not combine these with the typical Easter sweet, to create something truly 'egg-cellent'!"
Best of both worlds
He added: “Our Creme Egg Yorkshire pudding features two chocolate sponge cakes sandwiched between white and orange fondant, decorated with Creme Eggs and encased in a giant Yorkshire pudding – it is the best of both worlds.”
The Creme Egg Yorkshire pudding is available now at the Half Penny Farm for Easter but diners can vote to have it added to the Farmhouse Inns menu here.
