A GREAT British Bake Off star has teamed up with a Winchester pub to launch a 'Proof is in the Pudding' competition.
Chef & Brewer pub, The Bridge, in Shawford, will be hosting a design-a-dessert competition alongside TV-show Great British Bake-Off finalist Richard Burr.
The contest will offer aspiring Winchester bakers the opportunity to create their ideal pudding.
The best five entries nationwide will be put to a public vote.
If chosen, the creation will be added onto the Chef & Brewer menu and appear in pubs across the country. The winner will also be given a Kitchenaid mixer.
Richard Burr said: “For me baking has always been about experimenting with different flavour combinations and unusual ingredients. We are on the look-out for pudding creations that are innovative, original and exciting - something that is going to stand out from the rest and really make you want to try it.”
John Molley, manager at the, Bridge, added: “We are hoping to find pudding ideas that are both creative and delicious in equal measure; whether it's an old favourite, a personal speciality or a classic pudding with a modern twist. We can't wait to see what the Winchester community come up with.”
Participants can enter the competition between Monday, November 10 and Sunday, November 23 at chefandbrewer.com or by using the Proof is in the Pudding app on the Chef & Brewer Facebook page.
