If puddings be the food of love... Roam no further than Chipping Campden in the heart of the English Cotswolds to indulge in your passion along with 40 to 50 fellow aficionados twice a month throughout the year.

The Three Ways House Hotel at Mickleton near Chipping Campden has been the heart beat of The Pudding Club for the past 20 years. The club was set up in 1985 to preserve the best great British pudding recipes.

At each event after a light main course seven puddings are served to appreciative diners. A master of ceremonies asks his guests to vote on their favourite pudding encouraging everybody to put caution to the wind, forget about that expanding waistline, and enjoy the sublime treats.

To celebrate the success of her recently established Dining Club at Colliers Hill, Jackie Miller and a business associate and founder member of the dining club, Andrew Nunn, visited the Pudding Club at the end of May to sample the last of the winter selection.

On the menu on this occassion was; Jam and Coconut Pudding, Sticky Toffee and Date Pudding, Lord Randall's Pudding, Spotted Dick, Tutti Frutti Pudding, Very Chocolate Pudding, and Apple Crumble, all served with lashings of custard.

Voting was tough but the overall winner was Sticky Toffee Pudding, an overwhelming success. A long walk the next day and a visit to the gym appeared to work off the worst side effects of such indulgence. The If puddings be the food of love .
