Our Top 10 Favourite British Classics for St George's Day

20th April 2021

As a proud British based manufacturer, we are not only passionate about the products we produce in our factory in Cheshire, but also the culinary creations they  go into in working kitchens across the UK.
 
Britain has a rich history of traditional, regional dishes and below we celebrate the very best of these popular classics in celebration of St George’s Day.
 
Inspired by our partnership with Love British Food, our team of talented chefs have pulled together their own takes on classic British recipes, including some contemporary twists and global influences breathing new life into the nations favourite dishes.
