A rustic and satisfying way to kick off the meal:
Mature Cheddar and Stilton
Pork pie slices or scotch eggs
Pickled onions and Branston pickle
Crusty bread and butter
Apple slices and celery sticks
Serve with a pint of English ale or a crisp apple cider.
Main Course: Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding
A quintessentially English dish:
Roast beef with horseradish sauce
Homemade Yorkshire puddings
Roasted potatoes, parsnips, and carrots
Buttered peas or seasonal greens
Rich onion gravy
Swap the beef for roast lamb if you fancy a springtime variation.
Dessert: Treacle Tart with Clotted Cream
A sweet, sticky, traditional pudding:
Golden syrup filling with breadcrumbs and lemon zest
Served warm with a generous spoon of clotted cream or custard
Alternatively, try a rhubarb crumble – it’s in season and oh-so British.
After-Dinner Tipple: A Proper Cuppa or English Liqueur
A strong cup of English Breakfast tea
Or something a little stronger like sloe gin or a dram of English whisky
This is a vegan option:-
Vegan Main Course: Mushroom & Ale Pie
A rich, hearty, and comforting centrepiece:
A mix of chestnut and portobello mushrooms, slow-cooked with carrots, onions, and leeks
Braised in a full-bodied vegan ale with thyme and rosemary
Encased in golden, flaky shortcrust pastry (made with dairy-free butter)
Serve with:
Vegan roast potatoes (use olive oil or vegetable fat)
Seasonal roasted root veg
Steamed greens or braised cabbage
Vegan onion gravy
Vegan Dessert Option: Spiced Apple & Rhubarb Crumble
Celebrate the season with this fruity favourite:
Tart rhubarb and Bramley apples stewed with cinnamon and ginger
Topped with an oaty crumble made using dairy-free butter or coconut oil
Serve warm with vegan custard or a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream
