For the past month the Monkbar Hotel in York has been taking the political temperature of its diners with a politically-themed menu.

It allowed diners to choose between Gordon "Brown ale and beef sausages", David "Clameron chowder with blue-mer" bread and Nick "Clegg of lamb".

And with the votes now counted the hotel's bosses can reveal Tory leader Mr Cameron secured a win with an impressive 44 per cent of the vote - or some 103 meals to be precise.

Coming in second with 38 per cent was Lib Dem leader Mr Clegg, followed by Mr Brown on 17 per cent.
