Who We Are

Yorkshire Pudd was created by Chris Blackburn, a two-time World Yorkshire Pudding Champion and familiar voice in the world of food, travel and Yorkshire life.

Chris has appeared on ITV’s Food Glorious Food, Country House Sunday and BBC’s The One Show, and has contributed regularly to BBC Radio Leeds. Over the years, Yorkshire Pudd has also been featured in national and regional media, helping establish the site as a trusted voice for food lovers, travellers and anyone with an appetite for Yorkshire.

At the heart of the site is a simple idea: food and travel should feel real, useful and enjoyable. We are not interested in empty hype. We care about flavour, story, value, atmosphere, quality and whether something is genuinely worth your time.

Our Yorkshire Pudding Story

Yorkshire pudding is where the story began, and it remains a huge part of Yorkshire Pudd.

Chris is a two-time World Yorkshire Pudding Champion, and our award-winning Yorkshire Pudding Recipe is one of the most popular pages on the site. It brings together years of testing, judging, cooking, tasting and a fair bit of Yorkshire stubbornness.

Our Approach To Reviews

Our reviews are written for real readers.

We look at the full experience: food, service, setting, value, atmosphere and whether we would genuinely recommend it. We are especially interested in places with character, quality and a story to tell.

Yorkshire Pudd covers everything from independent restaurants and local pubs to hotels, food festivals, destination dining, product launches and travel experiences. Some features are editorial, some are commercial collaborations, but the aim is always to create content that feels useful, readable and true to the site.
