The World Dock Pudding Championships are back in 2026, taking place once more at Mytholmroyd Community & Leisure Centre.Dock Pudding is a local delicacy little-known outside the Calder Valley area of Yorkshire and the competition was founded in 1971 to help preserve it.
The Pudding is made from the leaves of Polygonum Bistorta/Persicaria Bistorta (which is not the same as Common Dock, though they look alike) mixed with nettles, oatmeal, onions and seasoning, and served with bacon and eggs.
Competitors gather at Mytholmroyd Community Centre on the day of a Food & Drink Festival to prepare a whole cooked breakfast including the Dock Pudding and the winner receives a cup and the prestigious title of World Champion.
The judging takes place behind closed doors so that the competitors are unknown to the judges, while the audience can watch the cooking on stage in the hall, enjoy stalls and the bar will also be open.
We are looking for stall holders and contestants! Stalls are £10, please email [email protected] for more information
