The Hairy Bikers roared into Eastoft
 |
| The Hairy Bikers' Christmas Special on BBC 2 on Sunday, 8pm. |
During their two-days of filming at Boltgate Farm, Eastoft, the bikers were treated to a traditional Christmas dinner cooked by WI member Tammy Brammals and were shown how to make Beef Skirt Pie (cow pie).
They also popped round to the house of Lucy Barker to use her traditional kitchen to learn the secret recipe of Kingy Cake.
Lucy has been with the WI for 35 years. The group used to meet in a school until it closed down, and as a temporary measure Lucy opened up the spare room in her home which was converted from a garage and they have held their meetings there ever since.
Lucy said: "They were both very down to earth – really nice gentlemen and the whole crew were delightful. They came to use my kitchen to cook a mother's recipe which has been passed onto daughters and so on.
"The Hairy Bikers made a traditional cake which dates back to the Roman times, which is made from puff pastry, frangipane filling and is eaten to mark the 12th night of Christmas and lent.
"Old recipes used to have a bean inside and if you found it you would be crowned King of the party.
"We all had a piece of the cake once it was baked and our oldest WI member was crowned Queen by the Bikers.
"Some of the members would have liked to have seen the filming but there wasn't enough room in the kitchen to watch what was happening so we're looking forward to it being broadcast on Sunday night."
