The Pumphouse Cafe by the river in Wellingborough has a few food challenges on offer, and the Big Dipper is the one built around chicken dippers. What makes it different is the choice of format: take it on alone with 30 minutes on the clock, or bring a partner and race through it together in just 15 minutes. It had never been beaten when it was attempted on camera in 2025.
What you'll be eating
A giant serving of chicken dippers with sides.
What you win
Finish in time and the £15 meal is free, plus a spot on the wall of fame.
Strategy tips
Solo you get 30 minutes; as a pair you get 15. If you go as a team, split the plate down the middle from the start.
