British Food and Drinks
Some people tend to think British cuisine is mainly fish and chips and all the rest comes from abroad such as curries and Chinese food. That couldn’t be further from the truth! Make sure you try many of the delicious pies (Fish Pie, Shepherd’s Pie, Steak and Ale pie), a proper roast dinner with stuffing and all the trimmings, and save some space for an apple crumble or a sticky toffee pudding.
If you’re into beers, then you’ll definitely feel at home. England has a strong craft beer culture and you’ll taste many different ales, stouts, IPAs, and much more. Don’t forget to sample the much-loved Gin and Tonic with the many varieties of gin available.
