British Cuisine

Britain is well known for its unfussy and simple cuisine food. After a long stressful day, British food is always a good hearty meal for comfort.

Starting your day off with a full English breakfast is the way forward for a good day. Even though it is calories upon calories, its always good to treat yourself now and then with sausages, tomatoes, egg, bacon, beans, and some tempting toast.

This country has always been well known for its fish ‘n’ chips. Battered cod with deliciously cooked chips, smothered in salt and vinegar and wrapped in paper, is always needed when visiting a beach for the day.
Britain’s battered Yorkshire puddings used for toad in the hole or a wholehearted roast is never a miss. Yorkshire puddings can also be used as a sweet treat, leave them to cool down and cover the inside with jam. A perfect desert.  


Britain is also well known for its sweat treats, such as apple pie, scone jam and cream afternoon tea or a good bowl of bread and butter pudding with custard


Many chefs take the beautiful British cuisine and place their own individual twist onto it. Dominic Teague from Onealdwych hotel in London took the traditional afternoon tea and took it to a creative level. This season he has based it on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory;http://www.onealdwych.com/food-drink/afternoon-tea pastries included cinnamon swirl brioche and a topping of candy floss.   



Heston Blumenthal is a world-famous chef who has always thought outside of the box and created wacky and witty food. He created a series of episodes, Fantastical Food, taking iconic British food and either expanding it to ginormous sizes or taking something simple, as bacon and egg, and changing it into a fun, exciting dish, such as ice cream.  

So if you’re up for a good hearty meal, British food is the way forward.
