HBM ~ Inside The Pudding House

HBM ~ Inside The Pudding House
This is one of two Pudding Houses in the East Court of Montacute House. They are so called as guests would 'retire' to them to enjoy their puddings following a meal in the main dining room in Tudor and Stuart times. This would give the servants the opportunity to clear and prepare the dining room for the after-dinner entertainment.

I've not been inside the house, just the grounds before, and certainly never heard of pudding rooms. You've given me the inspiration to return and visit these beauties, preferably with pudding!
Great shots Rosa!

And they were waiting here for the next . . . puddings.
I am not spoiling, I think, anyone with my poor garden chairs.

A beautiful building Rosa and two gret images. I love the colours in the stonework and textures in the flagstones. I never knew about the pudding houses before this. What a delightful idea.

Well captured.

I love it but where it is. I would take the modern wood bench instead, if nobody wants it and gets there first !!!!

Well I have heard it all now Rosa; pudding houses!! A fine shot of the exterior, very ornate architecture and lovely stonework. The interior images is wonderful with the light illuminating the honey coloured walls and parts of that fine stone floor. The 'throne' is quite amazing, rather grand compared to the simple cross shaped bench which is itself rather nice.

HBM and enjoy the rest of the week, Doug

We do like our puddings Doug, but not all lucky enough to have a pudding house ;-))
I expect the first one there bagged the throne! Thanks for your kind comments.

Take care and have a good week,

Oooh, now there's posh - a separate house for eating puddings! I really need one of those in my garden. I'll get my gardener working on it immediately!

Two super images...........the pudding house is very ornate and still quite beautiful even though it needs a bit of TLC. The interior shot is gorgeous. Beautifully exposed with lovely light and details. I love the "throne", it looks very tactile and the bench is lovely.

HBM Rosa. Enjoy the rest of the evening and have a super week.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
I sometimes eat a pudding in my summerhouse Keith...but I don't suppose that counts ;-))
Surprisingly, the Pudding House doesn't have an upstairs. You can see straight to the roof!

Your gardener is going to be busy then Keith ;-))

Many thanks for your great comments and I hope you have a good and sunny new week.

Al leer pudín entendí que trataba comida. Aunque el edificio resalta por su antigüedad, arquitectura clásica y el interior un banco con cuatro brazos.
No conozco muchos puddings, pero hay uno vasco que me gusta muchísimo, creo que les gusta a todos. Es el “Pudin de Cabracho” que lo sacó el famoso cocinero Arzak. Dejo un vídeo:

A pudding here is a sweet dessert Jose Manuel. I haven't heard of the famous dish from your region, but having watched the link, it looks very nice and I'm sure it is delicious.
Thank you for your kind comments and I wish you a good week.

Dd one have to sit on these uncomfortable benches while devouring a queen of puddings? That would certainly limit the enjoyment. ;-)

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Amelia club
I would imagine that the seating for the Lords and Ladies of the day would be much more elegant and comfortable Amelia :-) The "throne" was actually quite comfortable....yes, I had to try it out!
