We tried the three-course Yorkshire Pudding challenge - which even includes a Yorkshire pudding dessert

Watch as we try the infamous three-course Yorkshire Pudding challenge - which even includes a Yorkshire pudding dessert.

The Crooked Billet Inn near Saxton has become famous for its giant, homemade Yorkshire puddings, which have been served from the Billet’s kitchen for over 30 years.

Head Chef Scott Clark said: “Sundays are our busiest day when we do between 300 to 400 Yorkshire puddings in six hours”.

We visited the pub to take part in its infamous, three-course Yorkshire Pudding challenge, which includes a starter, main and dessert all starring the classic British side dish.
