We're Going To England
We’re going to ENGLAND y’all! We are thrilled to announce that our founders of Whim Hospitality and Camp Lucy, Kim and Whit Hanks, have officially purchased The Old Bell Hotel in Malmesbury, one of the oldest hotels in England.
Aside from Kim and Whit’s personal infatuation with all things British, Whit’s lineage can be traced back to this very town. In fact, Walter Hanks, a pioneering Malmesbury industrialist, operated a mill below The Old Bell Hotel on the River Avon in the late 1100s.
While there are many more details to come, we invite you to join us on our journey to England. Stay tuned to learn more about this exciting addition to our Whim Hospitality story!

Whim Hospitality- Banh Xeo- Happy Pancakes Tutorial
Chef Rob cooks up some delicious Vietnamese-inspired street food!
Ingredients:
¼ cup dried yellow mung beans, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes, (drained)
½ cup coconut milk, lite
1 cup rice flour
½ cup cornstarch
2 cups water
2 green onion tops, sliced thin
¾ tsp. ground turmeric
1 tsp. fine sea salt
1 tsp. sugar
Method:
Add coconut milk and mung beans together in blender, puree on high for 1 minute until very smooth. Mix together flour, cornstarch, turmeric, salt, sugar, and green onion in medium mixing bowl. Scrape blender mix into 2nd mixing bowl, whisk in cold water. Add all dry ingredients at once to liquid mixture and whisk until batter is smooth with no lumps. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours to let batter rest.
When returning to use batter, make sure to gently stir to re-incorporate starches as they will separate from liquid during the resting period.
To make pancakes:
Heat 1 tbsp. of light oil in non-stick 8 inch skillet over medium high heat. Add desired proteins until fully cooked in skillet. Add 2-3oz. of batter to middle of pan and instantly “swirl” pan to distribute batter evenly and coating the inside lower portion of the pan. Return to heat and cook until pancake starts to sizzle and lightly crisp and brown around the edges. Use a heatproof spatula to lift outside edge of pancake and flip over to cook another 30 seconds.
For Garnishing:
Serve with your favorite sauce such as peanut, nuoc mam, sweet chili; and fresh mint, cilantro, daikon & carrot pickle, cucumbers and mung bean sprouts.
