A leading British hotel is asking guests and kitchen staff to sign a secrecy clause after a couple tried to get hold of its secret sticky toffee pudding recipe and post it on the internet.
The Michelin-starred Sharrow Bay Hotel on the banks of Ullswater in Cumbria is believed to be where the famous dessert was first invented 40 years ago.
Locked in a vault on the premises, the recipe has been kept a closely-guarded secret ever since with only a handful of people taught how to make the dish.
A couple, however, nearly exposed it after sneaking a camera in to a masterclass on how to make the pudding and posting the footage on YouTube.
It was only the quick thinking of a manager who spotted the device that prevented the entire recipe being filmed and made available worldwide.
The moment he discovered the camera can be seen clearly on the video, subtitled "Kitchenspy's Mission One".
