Nothing satisfies a comfort food calling quite like a hearty, wholesome classic.
Puddings and pies have frequented our menus since medieval times, and with our famously precarious weather, it's no wonder we're the kings when it comes to combatting the cold.
We've collected a sample of our favourite dishes, from starters and light bites to hearty mains and warming puds.
A revival of the classics
In recent years, the resurgence of the good old gastro pub has authentic cooking back in fashion, and with The Great British Menu and 'Bake Off back on the box, attention has turned to our diverse gastric traditions and rich history of eats.
So, dig out those family recipes and serve up a slice of nostalgia. Put our history on a plate with these timeless and tasty tutorials. We always love to hear what you think of our recipes - if you find one you like, please get in touch.
