Bedfordshire clangers

[theplayingmantis]

ive always wanted to try these and will be visiting the straw bear festival on saturday up at whittlesea, so a slight detour could take me to gunns bakery in sandy, is it worth a 5 mile detour to buy some?

Ask the soup dragon.

So what’s the sweet/savoury split in them?

What would your preference be?

Mine would be half of a steak and cheese roll a la Greggs and the sweet would be some kind of Nutella and banana mix.

Here's one I prepared earlier

Have your whits about you in whittlesey, there is a traveller funeral going on at the same time as the festival and they have already been taking over the town amd causing trouble. Apparently a lot are staying on for the funeral and they are expecting upto 1000 of them. Some of the pubs have been rumoured to be closing until they have gone.

Definitely worth the detour, but then I would say that after living in Sandy all my life!

Straw Bear was good, no trouble, will be back next year. Pigs Dyke Molly were excellent.

Clangers were decent. only had 2 varieties left in biggleswade (did biggleswade first in case sandy didnt have any left) Sandy a few mins up the road had none left as feared (despite it being a biggish shop)

gammon/potato with apple at other end was very nice, may order some. beef with rhubarb and custard (i think) was edible but wouldnt have again (well maybe to try in case i got a bad one), only 1 tiny lump of beef, dry, rest was pearl barley and the desert end that i think was rhubarb and custard hardly had any filling and was not distinguishable to what it was.
