TRADITIONAL BRITISH FOOD RECIPES

Britain is known for it's wholesome meals including stews, broths and traditional cuts of meat. Here are our list of some of the most traditional British dishes.

Fish and Chips

A match made in heaven, fish and chips originated in England but has been made popular around the world. Traditionally consumed as a Friday night treat, but has become a staple dish on any day of the week, certainly in British households anyway.

With this in mind, we just had to create a variety of ready meal options to ensure all our customers were catered for. Our Breaded Fish and Chips and Fish and Chips (Oven Cook Only) ready meals are the perfect choice to enjoy this traditional meal at home. If you'd rather opt for a smaller portion then our Fish and Chips Mini Meal is ideal and still packed full of the same delicious flavours.

"This was a fantastic meal left a bit longer which crisped the chips up would highly recommend."

Shepherd's Pie

Originating in England, the classic dish of Shepherd’s Pie has many variations. Traditionally, it contains red meat, onions, gravy and topped with a layer of mashed potato. Some recipes also contain vegetables such as peas, carrots or sweetcorn and top the layer of potato with a sprinkling of cheese.

At Wiltshire Farm Foods, we know the dish of Shepherd’s pie is a favourite with our customers, so our chefs have created some delicious varieties. Our traditional Shepherd's Pie ready meal is the ultimate warming dish, whilst our tasty Luxury Shepherd's Pie offers the extra special touch of sweet potato mash and a flavoursome cheese crumb.

Our range also caters for those with different apetites. Our classic Hearty Shepherd's Pie ready meal satisfies those with a larger apetite, whereas if you'd prefer a lighter option then our Shepherd's Pie Mini Meal is the perfect option. 

"The vegetables were delicious, and the potato was so so creamy. I'm very impressed with this product and will be buying again. It's lightened up my meal times"

Full English Breakfast

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. It helps to kick start our metabolism and provides us with energy for the day ahead. A 'full English' platter is traditionally filled with breakfast items like sausages, eggs, beans, toast, bacon, hash browns, tomatoes and mushrooms, washed down with a warming cup of tea. Sound tempting? Then be sure to give our delicious All Day Breakfast dish a try.

We also cater for smaller appetites with our All Day Breakfast Mini Meal, ideal for when you fancy a smaller portion.
 

"Looking for something other than a 'proper' dinner for my father for when he's not so hungry....came across the All Day Breakfast and wow never seen him polish his meal off as quickly in ages! He's delighted with it, tasty, good mix and ticks all the boxes for him, added to favourites of course."

Trifle

Let’s not forget dessert. Of course, we are known for having an indulgent sweet treat for afters - with one of the most traditional desserts being a fruity trifle. There must be hundreds of recipes that have been created throughout the years but this delicious dessert is traditionally layered with fruit, cream, custard and sponge cake. A striking dessert that’s purely irresistible in our opinion.

Our talented chefs, Phil and Liam, have whipped up their own version of the traditional favourite. Shop our Strawberry Trifle and Raspberry Trifle - guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
