THE NATION'S tastiest black puddings will be on the menu for 120 writers at their annual dinner next week.
The British Guild of Beer Writers will sample the delicacy made by Accrington butchers Arthur and Celia Wild.
The couple's secret recipe won them first place in the nationwide Double Maxim black pudding competition run by Vaux Breweries last month.
They own Wild's Butchers in Warner Street, Accrington, and had to concoct a mouth-watering pudding containing the company's ale.
One of the judges at the contest, Barrie Pepper, who is also chairman of the Guild of Beer Writers, has asked the couple to provide puddings for their annual dinner in London.
Arthur said: "I'm over the moon. I never thought winning the competition would create such an opportunity."
