They're hairy bikers and they're cooking . . .
A speciality cut of meat that melts in the mouth and home-produced mouth-watering bread are on the menu for iconic TV characters The Hairy Bikers – and that's down to produce from Bury St Edmunds and Pakenham.
The duo visited Pakenham Water Mill yesterday morning, where they were shown how Suffolk wheat was ground into wholemeal flour and baked in the 18th century bread oven on site.
Then the bikers were off to Barwells, in Abbeygate Street, Bury, where the specialist cut of steak, St Edmund's Purse, was cooked.
The pair are in the county filming for the 28-episode The Hairy Bikers Tour of Britain.
It was the bikers' first visit to Suffolk, but it did not go without a hitch. After a tyre blowout on Wednesday, biker Dave needed a helping hand from Bowers Motorbikes, of Bury.
Si said: "We've been twice around the world celebrating other places, but we've never been to Suffolk. We're just asking people what the food scene is around here. It is a beautiful county."
David Eddershaw, curator at Pakenham Water Mill, said: "We're thrilled they decided to visit us. This is a very special place."
n Award-winning chef Chris Lee, from the Bildeston Crown, will be doing a cook-off for the programme, to be aired on BBC2 in the early summer.
