Some towns are known for their history. Bakewell is known for a famous mistake… 🥧

Centuries before the pudding, a medieval stone bridge brought traders across the river to the market. It’s still held in the same spot today, more than 800 years later. 🌉

Then, in the mid 1800s, the Rutland Arms kitchen is said to have served up something unexpected. A strawberry tart was ordered, but the cook poured the egg mixture over the jam instead of mixing it into the pastry. The result was so good it never left the menu 🤎

Today, you can still taste it in the town where it all began. At the Original Bakewell Pudding Shop @realbakewellpud 
Just don’t call it a tart, the locals will notice 😉
