St. George's Day
St George's Day was a major feast & national holiday in England on a par with Christmas from the early 15th century.
However, this tradition had waned by the end of the 18th century after the union of England & Scotland.
In recent years the popularity of St George's Day appears to be increasing gradually.
So we thought that we would celebrate this traditional day with a classic English menu.
Grilled Bury black pudding with apple butter & English mustard sauce
Toad in the hole, Geoff Mellin’s sausages wrapped in streaky bacon with a rich red onion gravy
Rhubarb & vanilla fool with sweet ginger syrup
