Food and Drink

Full English Breakfast

Usually accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee, the full English is a breakfast dish including baked beans, sausages, bacon, toast, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, and black pudding. This big and hearty meal is sold all over the country, and considered a national dish!

Bangers and Mash

Bangers and mash is a delicious traditional British meal featuring (usually pork) sausages and creamy mash. With a generous amount of gravy poured on top and vegetables on the side, this dish is very tasty and can be enjoyed year-round.

Sunday Roast

Traditionally, Sundays are for a roast dinner, consisting of roasted meat (often beef), mash potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, with condiments on the side like mint or apple sauce, and lashings of gravy on top!

Chicken Tikka Masala

The origin of the chicken tikka masala is often disputed, with some attributing it to the South Asian community in Britain, and others claiming it comes from Glasgow. Either way, it is one of the national dishes of England. With comparisons to Indian butter chicken, it is an immensely popular creamy and mild curry.
