A foodies guide to hungry horse
Join us as we take a look at what traditional British pub food is and some of the nation’s favourite dishes. And of course, we’ll point out some Hungry Horse pub locations you need to visit.
Classic Food
So, what is typical British pub food? Well, it’s fair to say it’s changed a lot over the years. In the past, staples were pie and mash or fish and chips. Today, the likes of burgers, lasagne and bangers and mash have been added to that list, as well as ham, egg and chips, all day breakfasts, Sunday roasts and even curries.
Because so many dishes have become so popular, served in almost every pub in the UK, it’s getting harder and harder to find places that nail the classics. When you do, grab onto that pub and try the rest of their pub food menu. You might just find something else to tuck into that you love. And that becomes a new classic for you!
What is the most popular pub meal in the UK?
The most popular pub meal in the UK is fish and chips. Beyond the pub, it’s a British favourite full stop. Crispy batter over flaky fish, served with chips, garden or mushy peas and maybe even tartar sauce. There’s a reason we love it.
At Hungry Horse, our spin on fish and chips ticks all the boxes. We even offer a plant-based fish alternative so that everyone can dig into the nation’s favourite
What is the most popular pub snack in the UK?
Grab them by the bag and enjoy them with an ice cold pint. They’re meaty, crunchy and oh so tasty.
