I thought it was a more than decent venue when i was there last weekend, and it couldn't be easier for getting to Wembley on the tube. I would recommend it.

Parkin? Does that qualify as cake?

Thanks for this just booked our parking place.
Sorted.
PS I hope it's not a long walk to the tube station.

It isn't. And I speak as someone who hates walking anywhere. About 5-10 minures, tops. You can see the ground from the tube station.

I thought not but wanted confirmation so that's great, thanks.

So disappointed to click this link and find that it wasn't about parkin.

Still at least my always-on patented "Search-for-cake-references" t'interwebby thing worked properly.

Not convinced Parkin is in fact cake...more biscuit/brownie type thingy (if made correctly)

I think Parkin is cake. It certainly has a cakey consistency, albeit quite a dense cake. I would also regard a brownie as a form of cake. I don't think you can give brownies a whole classification to themselves.

I like parkin. It's one of the few cake products that doesn't always go wrong when I try to make it myself. I always do it with a hot treacle (actually a slight misnomer as it uses both black treacle and golden syrup) sauce on bonfire night. And custard. always cold custard if the sauce is hot.

Okay I can live with the idea that Parkin is in fact a cake and I can just about accept that Brownies are cake too (I think they probably should have their own category though).

Can you get Parkin in and around London is what I really want to know? I would love to find a local distributor cos along with Les Neil's gran's home made treacle toffees I really miss Parkin around November 5th time and does anyone still make toffee apples?

Cake + Custard is always a winner.

Probably not. I live in Warwickshire, which is only about half way to London from the mother county, and most people here don't seem to know what parkin is. When you explain, you get "oh, you mean ginger cake?" at which point I beat them to death with a ferret.

As part of my 'lazy day' on Sunday after the final I am going to make a passion fruit and lemon cake. Would you all like me to post a picture / receipe on here after?
