Jerk-shire!

after a big cycle race, and not before!

The King Street venue is serving up the Jerkshire Pudding special creation with jerk chicken or curried goat.

A restaurant spokesman said the addition of the Scotch bonnet had certainly “supercharged” a traditional Yorkshire dish. Keen cyclist Alice Sharpe was one of the first to try the delicacy.

Jason Kidman-Steele, manager of Turtle Bay, said: “We wanted to celebrate the Tour de Yorkshire by creating a favourite Yorkshire dish with our own twist on it.

“The Jerkshire Pudding is delicious and has its own unique Turtle Bay taste.

“Good luck to all the cyclists in the race, and to all their teams. We wish them all the best of luck!”
