There’s nothing quite as quintessentially English, as sitting down to a roast topped with Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings at Sunday lunch. English cuisine is hearty, comforting and filling, with flavours and recipes derived from history and the proximity of Europe. Many county’s in England are home to their own, unique delicacies. Be sure to indulge in steaming pasties and creamy fudge in Cornwall, sip crisp cider in Somerset, and tuck into tender, buttery pies in London.
