We propose a vacuum gap (VG) model which can be applied uniformly for normal and high magnetic field pulsars. The model requires strong and non-dipolar surface magnetic field near the pulsar polar cap. We assume that the actual surface magnetic field in pulsars results from a superposition of global dipole field and crust-anchored small scale magnetic anomaly. We provide a numerical formalism for modelling such structures of surface magnetic field and explore it within the framework of VG model, which requires strong surface fields more than 10^{13} G.
