Beef Pie

Sausage and Mash

Sausage

Simply put, it all depends on the quality of the ingredients: tasty sausages, mashed potatoes, and a "gravy " (thick sauce) with onions for great flavor.

Fish and Chips

Fish

and

chips

This one is arguably the best on the British menu, a must-have 'famous dish' in every pub. A simple fish fry with golden brown chips served with lemon juice and tartar sauce is mouthwatering!
