Food & Drink in England

Traditional scones with cream, jam and, of course, tea, will always be top of the list. However, there is much more to England than its quaint treats.

Given its expansive coastline, England boasts a wide range of seafood and fish and chips are a popular Friday night dinner. From mussels in Devon and lobster in Cornwall to cod in Yorkshire and Northumberland's kippers, you'll find it's fresh and plentiful. 

It can definitely be said that the country is one of cheese lovers. Among the many favourite varieties are Cheddar, Stilton, Wensleydale, and Red Leicester.

Embarking on tours in England means being able to try a host of regional dishes, be it Lancashire hotpot, Cornish pasties, Bedfordshire Clangers or Bakewell pudding. Meanwhile in the major cities like London or Manchester, you can find cuisine from all over the world with neighbourhoods offering a melting-pot of cultural treats.
