- BRITISH FOOD TOUR in LONDON, ENGLAND | 4 Traditional Dishes you MUST EAT in England
We're in London, England! In this 3 part series we're hunting down the best British food in England's capital.
This is our third video from London and it's all about traditional British food.
We start the day with one of London's East End's most traditional foods- pie, mash and liquor at M Manzes, the oldest pie and mash shop in London. This is traditional London food at its finest- meat pies served with scoops of mash and a generous ladle of liquor- a parsley sauce. Alongside our feast we sample jellied eels- a dish that was traditionally served with pie, mash and liquor. Two of London's oldest street foods right there!
Next up we head for a bacon butty at a Cabmen's shelter. These famous green huts were originally founded in the 19th century for black cab drivers to grab a cup of tea and a meal. There are only a few of these huts left in London and as tradition dictates, only cabbies are allowed to sit inside- joe public can only order from the hatch.
Onto a quintessential English favourite- the fry-up! We head to the iconic Regency Cafe which has been around since 1946 to eat a traditional English breakfast made up of beans, sausages, eggs, black pudding, mushrooms, tomato and bacon accompanied by toast and tea.
We finish with a classic cream tea- fresh scones, raspberry jam and clotted cream with tea. Perfection!
We hope you enjoyed this British food video, thanks for watching! #britishfood #londonfood #englishfood

We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our CZcams videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.
***********************************************************************
We went full on trad for this video guys and we’ve gotta say the food was AWESOME!! Hope you enjoyed this video. We’d love it if you gave it a thumbs up and don’t forget to subscribe for loads more content 😄 Thanks for your support guys! Have a brilliant weekend. Cheers, Thomas & Sheena 😘
As someone from London I just want to say thank you for showing proper London foods instead of all the real high end expensive foods we have here. What you guys ate is what we normally eat. So glad you enjoyed it 😊
😍😍😍😍 thanks so much for watching Jessica! We had such a blast filming in London. We loved getting into the really trad dishes- it’s what we enjoy eating best! Hope we can get back soon. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of the content on our channel! Cheers, Sheena
At last! Someone who has advertised proper English food.
I salute you both!
It was a joy to film this one! Would love to return one day soon and do a big food tour around England 😍 Thanks for watching and commenting Chris. Cheers, Sheena
english food is disgusting!!!
You hit the nail on the head with _full English_ : it's the many combos of food you can get in a mouthful that makes it such fun to eat.
I fancy one now Twirlyhead! 🤤 thanks for watching this video, hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Brown sauce and beans are a match made in heaven Thomas 😁
🤤🤤🤤 never a truer word spoken Susan! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Thomas
Or a dollop of Branston pickle …
Love that you tried the full english breakfast - you had it in what we would term as a Workman's cafe its one of the known places in London were workers (construction workers in the area as well as local office workers) will come for a quick, cheap lunch - because it usually arrives really quickly and is cheap. Lots of places like that around London.
If you come back and want to try another pie and mash place try Mother Mash (same sort of ambience with tiled walls etc) - its in Covent Garden or there's one in Carnaby Street - you get to choose different flavoured mash and sausages as well as your pie but you also get to taste an old british fav from the war called bubble and squeak and don't forget mushy peas with fish and chips!!
If you go up to North of England you will have to try a deep fried mars bar - take a mars bar into a fish and chip show and ask them to cook it in the batter - never tried it but apparently its amazing.
Sheanna you always make me smile with your upbeat personality and kudos to Thomas enjoying jellied eels and black pudding...not if you paid me!! ;-) haha.
Thanks so much for your kind words mate. So happy you are enjoying our content 😄 Mother Mash sounds right up our alley! Every time we visit the UK we wish we had longer (and bottomless pockets of $ 😂) there’s always another pub or restaurant on the already endless list to get to. Loved brekki in the workman’s cafe- quintessential English experience! I’m already excited about our next visit whenever that may be! Thanks for watching 😄 Cheers, Sheena
AKA a Greasy Spoon
Thankyou for showing good British food! It is underated world wide!
We agree Eleanor Herron! It was great to get into the food culture a little during our fleeting visit. Hope we can get back soon to do a proper food tour around the UK! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoy our other London videos! Cheers, Sheena
As others have said it's great to see a video where traditional rustic food is being eaten (when you had the tea with your "Full English" bet you didn't notice it came in a mug and not a tea cup; now thats what i call tradition). spot on guys 👍
PS: thanks for reviewing the cabmen's shelters. I've seen loads of videos of people visiting London and mentioning the sites and places to eat but i've never seen anyone else mention the green huts before.
Thanks for the great comment. Mugs all the way for a cuppa tea! 😀 Glad you enjoy the cab mans shelter piece. We love showing things like that on the channel. Thanks very much for watching mate. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Should have got it from wetherspoons with a pint of lager then it would have been a proper full English
"Rustic" slop 😄
YUMMO. That Bacon Buttie needed a big mug of strong sweet tea and you got yourself the simplest most satisfying meal. 😍
Yes! That would have been perfect 🤤 definitely a strong sweet tea kind of a gal! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Brilliant But Blue. Cheers, Sheena
I've been to London a few times but never thought to try jellied eels - they just don't sound appetising. But seeing Thomas eat them, and describe their taste and texture, has completely changed my mind. Next time I'm in London I will definitely aim to try some!
Totally get that Josh! Even on the plate they look a bit suspect 😂 But they were delicious- well worth eating. Thanks for watching this video, hope you enjoyed it mate. Cheers, Sheena
Thank you so much for your open and honest evaluation. So positive. I didn't know anything about these food establishments but I live in Manchester, but I do now. :-)
Thank you so much for watching Peter and for your kind words! We’d love to get up to Manchester one day 😄 a whole tour of the UK would be a dream come true. Thanks for your lovely message and we hope you enjoy the rest of the content on our channel! Cheers, Sheena
Just came across ur video and u guy's r gr8 u actually taste the food not pick at it but im no longer on my diet now after watching this of 2 make a fryup thanks 4 sharing 👍👍👍💝
🤤🤤🤤🤤 I’m desperate for a fry up for breakfast now Lesley! Thanks for watching and for your lovely message. We’re so happy you enjoyed this video. Our stay in England was much too short this visit. Looking forward to returning soon! Cheers, Sheena
Great video’s. Very informative. I like how you put up the prices and in American dollars too.
Hi Nancy he, thanks for watching and for your kind words. So happy that you are getting value from our content! Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel. Cheers, Sheena
First video I've watched of yours and I love you guys!!🥰 I absolutely love the fact you're trying traditional English dishes! I'm from the UK and I've never ever had jellied eels before, I'll have to try them one day😊 and that fry up looked so good! Will be suscribing👍🏻💕
Hi Kyra96, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely message 😄 Oh gosh we are so desperate to return and do a massive road trip around England. Hope we can make it happen soon! Those jellied eels were great to try- loved that pie and mash spot. Hope you like the rest of the content on our channel mate 😄 Cheers, Sheena
I am glad you show what they people eat. Don't forget the fish and chips
A classic! Hope you enjoy our London series Raxa, thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for showing that we actually have nice food 👍🇬🇧
English food gets such a bad rap! We love it, it was so much fun filming this series. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
You guys are all the way from New Zealand and showing me where to eat in my home of London, how crazy is that?! 😂 I didn't even know where to go for these delectables! Thank you! Great video and good vibes, Ur both great! ☺️☺️☺️
Lol I felt the same way when they did a whole series of my country, Malaysia! There were so many yummy places I've never even heard of😸
Awwww thanks for your kind words Sarah J! Oh gosh London is so huge- and you've got so much choice! So happy you got to eat and travel with us to some new places in this video- hope we did your city justice with this series- although we know we barely scratched the surface! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
😆😝😍 awww thanks Lulu Cattywampus! We totally have to get back to Malaysia even if it is only to eat!!!! We love it there. Thanks for watching this one mate, hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Really interesting guys! Thanks for the video. Just wondering, what camera and lens did you use? Super sharp!
So glad you enjoyed it mate and awesome to hear you think the image is great! We use a GH 5 and a Leica 12-60mm lens 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for explaining the history of that cabby house. So interesting! I can see how hungry Thomas was with the speed with which he ate his fry-up😄 Seeing all the vintage settings in this vid just made me shiver with delight! I love things like that!
Us too A O! Anywhere with a bit of history and a sense of nostalgia we are dead keen on. So pleased you enjoyed seeing these spots. Hahahaha Thomas hoovered up that English brekkie! Hope you enjoyed this one- thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
That's what impressed me too, and I burst out laughing at the cabbies hiding out in the pub!....Pub food over here is quite often home cooked and the best..
the pie and mash shop is literally so close to where i live ahahah!! its the best in the uk
Lucky!! Do you go there often? We loved the meal and the staff were so lovely. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Luv luv luv London so much … I miss traveling too cheers 🍻
It’s so great right?! 😍 So much still for us to explore but have to save some $$$ before we visit again 😆 Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Cheers, Sheena
This is a great vid
Thanks mate. We’re glad you enjoyed it. We loved filming this one and the other videos we filmed while in London. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Fair play to you guy's, no one should visit London without trying pie & mash.
😄😄😄 we loved that pie shop! Wish we’d had time to visit a few more. Next time for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Please come to Yorkshire in the North of England. We have so many great pubs and restaurants, tonnes of traditional real ales and ciders (Pure North cider near Huddersfield is amazing) and of course we are the home of the Yorkshire pudding and the rhubarb triangle 😁
😍😍😍😍 we are so desperate to get to the North Emily! And when we do Yorkshire will definitely be a stop- love the sound of everything you listed- that rhubarb triangle sounds well worth eating 🤤 Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video and like what we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate the rhubarb triangle is the area where rhubarb is grown not for eating lol
Love both Rhubarb Triangle & Yorkshire Pudding!!
Just stumbled across your British food series today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I appreciated how descriptive you both were when describing the various flavours and textures of the foods you tried as it really helps the viewer get an idea of what you're eating. Just subbed and look forward to checking out some of the other countries you've visited on your channel. Safe travels!
Hi Hrundi V Bakshi, thanks so much for your lovely words and we’re so glad you enjoyed this series! We had a blast filming it and can’t wait to get back soon. Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel mate. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment 😄 Cheers, Sheena
another great vid guys ....my Italian mom replaced that ell dish with jellied pork feet and tail in a vinegar based jelly ....amazing ..i am in my 60's now and your vid brings back old memories
Thanks so much tsocanuck! So happy you enjoyed it and that the video brought back some good memories 😍 the jellied pork feet and tails sounds so interesting- would love to try it one day. We love pork feet so would be right into it I reckon! Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel tsocanuck. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Loved the 3 videos of London it's great when people really appreciate our food like we do 👍
😍😄😍😄 so happy to hear that Joel Nelson! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 We love London and the food culture is fascinating- can’t wait to get back to the UK soon for more eating and filming! Cheers, Sheena
*_eels_* - Not sure why but I skipped eels. Normally they would be a must eat just to say I tried them.
*_bacon butty_* - Is the HP sauce typical? My bacon butty was bacon and butter only. Seems like I missed out. I had the option to put tomato sauce or HP on my chip butty but I went with just butter on that as well. I did zero research on both.
*_black pudding_* - Had it multiple times during my visit. Quite tasty. In fact, the very first thing I ate after arriving to London was black pudding at a pub near my hotel. They were cut into strips and then pan fried on all sides. Great snack with a couple of pints.
*_full English_* - Not a huge fan of baked beans for breakfast but tried it of course. My full breakfast came with fried potatoes but I really wanted bubble and squeak. 😀
Excellent series, guys. London was a home run...despite the choripan!
I'm English and I've never tried jellied eels, in fact most English people haven't. It's a regional (East London) thing.
Hi Tosh, hope you get to try the eels on your next visit- we had them stewed as well but we preferred the jellied. Toppings for your bacon butty is very much a personal thing I believe- some are firmly in the HP camp, others prefer tomato sauce and some like it just with butter. They had bubble and squeak on the menu at the Regency- I wish we'd had time to go back for another meal there- I would definitely have ordered it. Love that black pudding was the first thing you ate upon your arrival! And neat that it was just a pub snack. So glad you enjoyed this series mate. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Woden, thanks for watching and commenting! The East Londoners are so passionate about them- we had a few people tell us where we could get a whole pot of them for a tenner. Hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
@Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena
Yes, that first pub was quite cool - perfect old world meets new scenario; 150 years old with beautiful wooden Victorian interior but now serving craft beers and modern takes on traditional food. Black pudding sticks. Who knew?
Fried potatoes do not belong on a full English!
Nice one, made me very Hungry. Come back soon.
So glad you enjoyed it mate, thanks for watching! Hope we can get back one day soon- loads more to eat! Want to hunt down more of those trad cafes. 😍 Cheers, Sheena
That jellied eels look so delicious. And I heard the natural jelly that comes out of eels is an excellent source of joint and skin-friendly collagen. I would definitely try it. Thakns for sharing this video =)
Hi Qrious Gourmet, thanks so much for watching and commenting! I bet it's really good for you- they were so tasty. Hope they don't disappear off menus- they're such a heritage dish! Hope you enjoy the rest of our London series. Cheers, Sheena
Everything looked delish! The meat pie and mash would be right up my alley. Of course the scones would be a must. Love yoou guys!
There’s nothing like some scones and a cup of tea! So English 😍 oh gosh that meat pie and mash was comfort food! Thanks for watching and commenting dswetz1! Big love back- hope you’re having a lovely weekend 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Full English from a Englishman; bacon, sausage,fried egg, mushroom, black pudding, hash browns, beans, fried slice, maybe tomatoes (only tinned!) definitely bubble and squeak!! & good ol cup of tea! What a set up for the day, don’t call it a all day breakfast for nothing ;) also hp always on hand. You guys have to try a lamb roast all the trimmings there truly is not a better meal FACT! Hope you had fun ! Looks great
Hi James Eastlake, oh my goodness my mouth was watering reading your description 🤤 Tinned tomatoes?! This is new to us. Love hearing how locals enjoy their trad dishes. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, we can’t wait to get back to the UK soon. Cheers, Sheena
No mate..hash brown is American..bubble and squeak is English
God no hash browns!
Hash browns on a full English! Not on you're Nelly! Bubble all day long!
Not traditional but I need either hash browns/ chips on mine, Call me crazy just my preference guys!
GREAT VID GUYS,HI THOMAS UN SHEENA,LUV FROM LONDON UK
You’re so lucky you have all this food on your doorstep mate! Thanks for watching and commenting- so happy you enjoyed it 😄 Cheers, Sheena
The parsley liquor is a left over from when the pies had eel or oysters in them (parsley is a traditional fish sauce in the UK). The pie filling changed to minced meat but the sauce stayed parsley. In Victorian times, fried fish used to be a northern English thing and fried potatoes was a London thing and nobody really knows how or when they came together? You'll struggle to find a Monte Cristo or a Reubens sandwich in London and as beautiful as those are, sometimes bread, butter, bacon and HP sauce is all you need? Maybe add some mushrooms too?
Hi Phil B, some great info there- thanks so much! We’d love to spend more time in the UK- especially outside of London. We have friends and family there so it was just a fleeting trip to visit them and we thought we’d make a few videos too. We’d love to do a massive UK food series one day. Hope you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Oh yes Thomas baked beans and brown sauce, deffo a marriage made in heaven 🤗
I wouldn’t mind a full English for breakfast tomorrow! 🤤 It’s such a treat. Thanks for watching Susan! Cheers, Sheena
The Regency, excellent choice
We loved it 😄 what a place! Thanks for watching Lester! Cheers, Sheena
So much history in London wherever you go... it was awesome seeing all these places you took us to.
Thanks so much guys! So happy you enjoyed travelling and eating with us on this series! 😍 Cheers, Sheena
You need vinegar that really gets the taste going 👍
Hi Craig Wilkins, thanks so much for watching and commenting! Heaps of people have mentioned the vinegar and now we’re desperate to get back so we can taste what we missed out on 😆 hope you enjoyed this video and like what we have coming up on the channel. Cheers, Sheena
Hello Guy's....miss you all. Wow London....my dreams COUNTRY'S.
Hi mate, thanks for watching this one! London is such a fascinating city. Hope you enjoy our new series- New Zealand 😍 Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Love the atmosphere shots. My favorite spot for today was the cream tea place. I adore vintage kitchen and table wares! The cabbie stand was unique. Nice to know there are still some surviving and functioning. The first time I ever had a fried tomato was in London, back in the '70s! To this day, I can't eat a fried egg without an accompanying fried tomato...it's just a match made in heaven.
You would have loved that shop then MsKestrela! I am a huge fan too but I didn't spend too much time looking as I knew I wouldn't be able to take anything home with me 😝 Too agonising otherwise! So neat that you have that food memory of the fried tomato- I reckon a fry up is incomplete without them- the acidity and sweetness cuts through the bacon and sausage perfectly. And then the fried egg with the oozy yolk just ties it all together 😝😋 Thanks for watching and commenting MsKestrela, hope you're having a lovely weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Evidently sconces Differ throughout Celtic people. In Ireland scones I like soda bread not fluffy but dense. That’s the type of scones I prefer. Thanks for motivating me to learn the difference between scones
That’s interesting Cob! I didn’t know that! We’d love to visit Ireland one day- neither of us have been before. Filming there would be awesome.
OMG! Lightbulb moment! I can put the cream on the scone first...... and it doesn't end up wrapped round my face and nose!
A new day begins.....
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I reckon you need to whip up a batch of scone for afternoon tea and put it to the test! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Wouldn’t mind a scone and a cuppa myself right about now! Cheers, Sheena
Well done 🏴🔥 next pie n mash you eat-chili vinegar, salt n pepper, only fork n spoon ❤️
Manze’s is lovely; don’t forget to include Maureen’s 🔥🔥🔥⚓️
Yum! Can’t wait to return and have more when possible. Thanks very much for watching this video. Cheers, Thomas 😀
You are in very expensive area ..in London. You must go inside the country...not only just hanging around London. You will find amazing traditional dishes in country side. Enjoy it !!!
Would love to explore more of England and film! We were limited to London on this trip as we were visiting friends and family 😄 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
That cafe where you had the full english was used in the film Layer Cake.....
Oh wow! We’ve never seen it but did know that the cafe has been used in loads of magazine shoots and in film. It’s such a neat place- it’s got a great atmosphere. Thanks for watching and commenting Simon Main- hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Where morty beats that guy up then pours tea on him? I thought I recognised it as they walked in.
good series! loved every bit of food i've seen, especially that eel in jello
😍😍😍😍😍 so happy to hear it Tom Sawyer! Thanks so much for watching this series- it was such a fun one to film and the food was so unique- especially those jellied eels!! Hope you like what we have coming up mate! Cheers, Sheena
Hi guys! Wow that full English breakfast looks fantastic 😍🤤 I’ve never had black pudding before but that would be interesting. I love the little green cafe that caters for the cab drivers, so cool. Great video as always, thank you. Stay safe
Hi mate! You must give black pudding a try if you get a chance- it’s great! Those cabmen’s shelters are so awesome- such a neat part of the city’s history! So glad you enjoyed this one FitAngie- thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
The history behind the Cabmen huts is another interesting tidbit! Nice to share more of these London classics. Also good to see them have heritage status
So great they’re preserved now! 🙌
You guys just brought me back to London. Keep up the good work.
😍😍😍😍 we love hearing this Petro Petrakis! Thanks for travelling and eating with us via these videos! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this series. Cheers, Sheena
I love your videos, and the enthusiasm of both of you. My fav out of that lot was the tea and scones, and then the full English breakfast, but without the pig's blood sausage. That to me, was just downright nasty, along with the pie and the green gravy and cold jellied eels, YUK! and then woman's hands, without food grade gloves, all over your bacon sandwich [shudder]. Yeap, the term "British cuisine" is well and truly an oxymoron :). I'll have more videos please!!
Thanks for watching and commenting David Au and for your kind words! Oh gosh those tea and scones were perfect after a day of traipsing around the city! Hahah the pie n mash was comfort food- it doesn’t look great but there was something beautifully nostalgic about it. Hope you enjoy what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
@Vincent Bate don't worry too much Vincent. We have the best food, and world leading food handling standards down this end of the globe, in Australia and New Zealand. In fact, our food standards organisation covers both countries, and it does a great job, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).
Owh no!! Is this the last vid from the 3-part London series?? I'm gonna miss your London excursions guys. Drooling over the pie, the sandwich with interesting back history & the full english bfast shebang and last but not least the fluffy scones with clotted cream & raspberry jam! Goshhhh I am salivating..😋😋 but the jellied eel is very interesting, I wonder how it really tastes like. Tq for another interesting vid Thomas & Sheena, take care & cheers!💜💙
Hi Ar Em! It was an awesome day of eating alright 🤤 the eel just takes like a soft textured white fish- very palatable 😄 so happy you loved this series mate! Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena 💕
I feel that a lot of people can diss British food but I never felt that way. I for one can appreciate British food. It's one kind of food I've become so accustomed to and can't live without even though I've been brought up on an Asian diet. I'd honestly choose British food over French or even Italian if I had to make an ultimate choice. Though it might not be as 'varied' as some other cuisines, there are seriously so many fine points and gems in British cuisine.
Totally agree A O! British food gets such an undeserved bad rap! Coming from NZ this type of food is comfort food to us- it's what we default to if we're not eating other cuisines.
@@ChasingaPlate Agreed :) 'Comfort food' is definitely the word.
Enjoy watching your videos, very professional. You definitely should have your own travel TV series. 👍
😄😄😄😄 we’re so glad you are enjoying them Charlene, thanks so much for your support! Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel. Cheers, Sheena
Great video! I live just outside London but never been a fan of the tradition pie n mash with liquor. Feel like most people know it’s rubbish but like it cos of its history😂. I refuse to try jellies eels
Hi Taylor, so happy you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching 😍 Hahaha, I get what you mean- we were stoked we got to try it and we did love it- the history is no doubt a part of its appeal. Hope you have a great bank holiday ahead! Cheers, Sheena
Damn I love you guys. Cooking all of this in Portland, OR. Grew up in Washington State. I miss London. Go Brits!
Thanks for the kind words mate. That is so cool that you’re cooking these foods. Did you use to live in London? Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
@@ChasingaPlate I faked a sickness on business travel on what was to be a 2 hour layover LHR to JFK, then checked into my hotel paid by my company, and mysteriously got better 6 days later. Best 6 days ever and got paid for it! I tried all traditional foods (while sick - hahahaha). It was a modern adult version of our childhood - holding a thermometer up to a lamp, but logistically sound and planned out. :) Subscribing now. Will let my friends know.
😂😂😂😂 oh my goodness. You can cram a lot of food into 6 days bet you did bloody well!! Thanks for subscribing mate. Merry Christmas! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate You both need to do a couples tour with Mark Wiens and his Wife. That would be freaking brilliant.
Wow..! Great street food..! The thick bread bacon sandwich is awesome..!!
Nothing like a bacon butty 😍 such a great snack! Thanks for watching this one mate- hope you enjoyed it 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Absolutely love watching your UK adventure
😍😍😍😍 thanks so much Kakibot! So happy you enjoyed it mate. We had such a blast filming- we love London so much. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you've been well! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks guys. My mum's a London girl and you keep bringing back my NZ childhood dinnertimes. Pretty expensive place though, eh?
😍😍😍 that's so neat ed Straker! Thomas's Dad is English so I think this series brought back some great memories too! Oh gosh yes London was so expensive- we cringed every time we got the bill 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this series! Cheers, Sheena
London food seems so comforting and so filling, I would have to take a nap after Sheena's pie, mash and liquor but I'd also really like to try those jellied eels Thomas has as I'm a major eel fan. Thx for another great video.
😂😂😂😂 I could totally have done with a nap after that meal Suzy! Hope you get to try those jellied eels one day- we also had a chance to eat the stewed ones but preferred the jellied ones. So happy you enjoyed this one, thanks for watching! Happy weekend! 😘 Cheers, Sheena
You forgot to put the vinegar in the pie and we never used to eat it with a fork, always a spoon. Maybe times have changed in the last 35 years. "these black man cab boxes" lol you mean black cab drivers tea huts mate, you need a hackney medallion or the famous green badge to get inside. Mystical things happen in there, normally revolving around the page 3 bird of the time. Again, 30 odd years ago.
😂 got tongue tied in that bit. I reckon the lack of vinegar and the use of a fork is a good enough reason to get back for more pies. Hope we can return soon. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas
I find it interesting that in all your videos you pile all the food together on a fork instead of eating each item individually. You do that for whatever kind of food you two are eating. I was wondering how many other people eat food that way or if it is strictly a New Zealand custom.
Thanks for watching. That’s how to get the ultimate taste. Cooks and chefs think out a plate of food and put on it things that go perfectly together. A plate of food should have harmony across its elements. Some things more sweet, some more salty, something with more acidity (be it on a plate with different elements or within a single dish when cooking). We love playing with the combos and finding our perfect mouthful. When you nail your preferred combo it’s the ultimate food experience. It’s not just a New Zealand thing 😀 Hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Amazing video as usual 😍
😄😄😄😍😍😍 thanks so much samantha ho! That’s so kind of you to say! This was such a fun day to film- we ate so well! Thanks for watching and commenting 🤗 Cheers, Sheena
I'm a Geordie and I would love someone to come up here and show some of our working class food, (pan haggerty is a favourite). You're so right about the meal being more than just the food. It could be the best you've ever tasted but if you don't feel comfortable, it's ruined.
Oh and you pronounced Scone properly . lol
Hi Martin Tabony, thanks for watching this video and for taking the time to comment. We would love to get up your way and explore the food culture! Hope we can make it happen soon. What is pan haggerty?! Sounds intriguing- I will look it up! Hahah the eternal scone pronunciation debate 😆 hope you enjoy the rest of the content on our channel. Have a great weekend Martin. Cheers, Sheena
It's pan haggie in Yorkshire and I totally agree peas pudding and smoked ham hock as well!!!
Keep up the great work guys!Your videos always makes me hungry :p
Hi Ser Kon 😄 thanks so much for your kind words mate! So happy you are enjoying our content. Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
2:15 Cold, jellied eel. I would not have considered that such a thing existed. Not a bad thing, but surprising that it’s a dish.
I totally get where you’re coming from Greg! We were amazed we could find it and able to try it. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
being in finland now i miss prober good fry up
What do the Finnish eat for breakfast usually?
I always had a full English breakfast when I was in England. So good! 😋 Is clotted cream the same as butter? I don’t think it is but if someone knows and could tell me I would appreciate it!!
😍😍😍😍 it's comfort food right?! The way to start the day right hahaha. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this video! Clotted cream is different to butter- it's full cream milk that's heated indirectly (like in a water bath) and then left to cool slowly. The cream content then rises to the top and forms the clots. Hope that helps mate! Cheers, Sheena
Melissa Hayden clotted cream is very different to butter. It is essentially really thick cream with a crust on the top. It’s a good job they weren’t anywhere near Cornwall when they ate those scones - comparing it to butter and putting the cream on the bottom is enough to get you ran out of the county! 🤣 always jam on the bottom and dollops with clotted cream on top!
Shelly Goodwin Thanks so much for telling me about the differences between clotted cream and butter. I knew they were different but didn’t know why. I’d love to try it someday! 😋
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Sheena thanks so much for reading the comments and explaining about the difference between butter and clotted cream. I’ve never had it but hope to have some someday. Hopefully in England!
We hope you do too Melissa! There really is nothing like it for a scone! 😍
Love your London videos guys !!! You have my mouth watering now !!! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!
😄😄😄😍😍😍 thank you so much for watching ROBERT LEACH! We’re so happy you enjoyed them 😄 Can’t wait to get back for more eating! Thanks for taking the time to comment- hope you like what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
Love the pie, mash and liquor but jellied eels, yuk!
😂 they’re not for everyone! Thanks for watching and commenting Anna, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Ooh, you should have done a Brick Lane salt beef bagel too.
It was on our list but we ran out of time 😭 we’ll be there next time for sure! 🤗
Agree, sometimes the place just gives you such a great experience that just being there is a huge pleasure
👊 food is so much more than what’s physically on the plate right?! 😍
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena oh yes indeed
The OG British foods are my favorite. I am obsessed with the Pie and Mash and a proper Fry Up.
Same here mate!! There’s something so wonderfully nostalgic about them right? Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed it 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Someone probably said it already but you should have put vinegar on the pie and mash as well.
😄😄😄😄 something we will definitely be doing next time James Chambers! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
1892?? Wow - love places like these with lots of history. So true, Thomas , love the tiles and booths inside. Glad it is still going strong all these years later
Incredible right guys?! We’re suckers for places with history too- can’t help but we drawn to them. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoy this one! Cheers, Sheena
Yummy scones
They were delicious! Such a classic afternoon tea! Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks again Thomas and Sheena!!
So happy you enjoyed this one David! It was such a fun one to film- we're suckers for restaurants and shops with history and a sense of nostalgia about them. Hope you liked the series. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
It is about time to visit London, UK again ! Only for the pie and mash and full English breakfast ! By the way, Sheena, love the way you express your 'mmmmm' !
😄😄😄😄😆😆😆😆 thanks so much Anthony! How awesome is British food? Comfort food done right! Hope you enjoyed this series mate! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
I like the cream under the jam, too. And that scotch egg with the runny yolk, good heavens!
I know right Erin Robinson?! Next level egg! 😍 oh gosh I feel like a cuppa and a scone really bad right about now! Thanks for watching this series- hope you enjoyed it 😄 Cheers, Sheena
I am also hungry to see this food
I want that big breakfast right now! 😍 Thanks for watching mate, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Keeping it old school here! Love the tiled design outside of Regency.
Old school rocks!! It was a photographers dream 😍
Should have loaded the pie and mash with vinegar, that's the way to eat it... YUM!
Can’t wait to get back to have it again. Need to start planning another visit to London. Thanks for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Wow that place is open since the 1800s.
It looks really nice 👍🏼 comfort food for sure 100%
And the mashed potatoes 😋
Too right guys! Comfort food done well. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoy this one! Cheers, Sheena
Manzies has got less tight with the quantity of mash. You need to bung loads of pepper and chilli vinegar on the pie.
Loved that meal. I'd say yes to lots of pepper also. We can't wait to return to eat it all again. Thanks for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Great Vid! - Tom, I like the way you hold your knife and fork like I do :) How all the others eat back to front in restaurants or how eating out places set out their cutlery on the wrong side is a mystery? I switch everything over right to left much to the shock of right handed people pretending to be left handed when eating - how can you even use a knife in your right hand when that's where to fork goes? - it's a funny old eating out world knife and fork wise and ain't that the truth! lol :-D
Haha always the first step when sitting down is to change the table setting around 😂 Absolutely loved our time filming in London. It’s somewhere we always enjoy going so getting to make some videos there was brilliant. Thanks so much for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀 🍴 (someone made that emoji around the wrong way)
I really loved getting a good insight into London food history!! Is the Aussie comfort food palate quite similar to the UK one? .)
Fantastic Kakibot! So happy you got value from this video 😍 Well, I can't speak for the Aussies 😜 but us Kiwis love pies, roasts and big brekkies- all which stem from English cuisine 😃 It was awesome getting to visit some of the more heritage restaurants in London on this visit! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Oh no, I'm so embarrassed now! x) Especially because I love Kiwi accent so much, how did my brain fail me! -__-
Not to worry mate! We get it lots 😃 We used to live in Melbourne too- maybe we picked up a bit of an Aussie twang 😝 Hope you're having a great week! Cheers, Sheena
Still haven’t tried a Full English yet. You definitely started it off the right way with popping that egg open! We would definitely enjoy the blood pudding since we love all types blood sausage
Gotta get that yolk popped! You guys would definitely love the black pudding! Omg we need to get a Full English into you ASAP!! 😆
The brown sauce in a bacon sandwich is usually HP sauce; different taste from any other sauce !
I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t have been real HP sauce. Sure didn’t taste like it. Love that cafe. Thanks for watching. Thomas
No such thing as real H.P Sauce anymore ... used to be made in Birmingham ... now somewhere in Holland by Heinz...
And now made in Poland …
There's a fantastic traditional Scottish restaurant chain you will find all over London. It dates back to 1974 (!!). It proved to be so popular in London that it grew and grew and nowadays you'll find it in literally every town and village in Great Britain. It's called, I believe, "The McDonalds". Beware, though: even though it might seem like it has royal approval, "Burger King" is really just an American pretender. I know, shocking. So, you know, don't be fooled by any non-traditional American version of the Scottish classic, the McBig (?).
Some of this information might be out of date. I only just got out of Broadmoor after a 68 year stretch. I'm afraid I was a little bit mad for a while there, but I'm alright now :)
Haha love it 😂😂😂 thanks very much for watching this one and for a bit of humor. Very funny 😀😂 Cheers, Thomas
Cornish way is Jam then clotted cream, Devon way is clotted cream then jam.
The age old debate. I love it so much I’d just take it any way it comes 😂😋 thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas
The cornish are gross. Trying to put clotted cream on jam makes you look like an neandethal
The weather in London looks good. Nice for a picnic
I am missing baked beans,toast and eggs..hmm yummy.
Hi azzura mustapha, thanks so much for watching mate! The weather was cracker when we were there. I could totally eat a full English right about now! Hope you enjoyed this video mate, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
So interesting video.
delicious food
😄😄😄😄 thanks mate! I wouldn’t mind tucking into a fry-up right now 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you’re having an awesome weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Full English breakfast! Probably the best breakfast in the world 🌎
It’s such a treat! One of our favourites for sure! 😍
Yes and I would love to try and make it for sure! 😊
Aaah... black pudding, something I can't seem to find here in Borneo.
😆 a good excuse to jump on that plane 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
It's a British & Irish food, Black Pudding is delicious and so is White Pudding!
@@martinshepherd8041 I get plenty of it now that I am in Glasgow. Will eat lots of while I am here
@@ChasingaPlate I am in Glasgow now. While I am here I am going to have lots of it
Sheena it's pretty obvious you were in a BIG hurry to eat that scone :))) nice !
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you mean how I barely talked and just kept scoffing the thing?! I love scones 😄😝 thanks for watching and commenting Alina Petrea- hope you enjoyed this one mate!! Cheers, Sheena
I just made a batch of cheese scones and ohmylife they were gorgeous. Then saw you both in the cute cafe you were sitting in having the scone with clotted cream and jam 😍. That will definitely be my next batch, plain with some homemade apricot jam. Clotted cream will have to be substituted for NZ Anchor cream. Or will have to make my own clotted cream and ask Google for help 😂. Loving your orsim video's. Nga mihi korua.
Stop 🤚 Be there in 5 🤣 omg cheese scones- the best!! Oh my goodness I can just imagine how good your next batch will be with homemade jam! 😍 plain old Anchor will be delicious! Thanks for watching and commenting mate- hope you enjoyed this one- have a brilliant weekend! Arohanui, Sheena
A meal for the workers. Cheap and cheerful. Don't knock it.
Classic and utterly delicious! Thanks for watching Charlie. Cheers, Sheena
Thats look appetising!
Everything was soooo good! A day of comfort food! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this video mate! Cheers, Sheena
Next time guys look for the afternoon tea at lords in the long room which is a experience that I would recommend as it’s not too expensive and it’s also around the corner from abbey road and the zebra crossing here is the link: www.lords.org/lords/lord-s-experience/afternoon-tea also one of NZ’s best exports apart from the blackcaps is Peter Gordon and Pete has a chain of restaurants called Gourmet Burger Kitchen affectionately referred to as GBK and are everywhere in London.
Hi Shamir Patel, thanks so much for watching and for those awesome tips! Will definitely look into afternoon tea at lords for our next visit 😄 We saw loads of GBK’s around! Knew they had a Kiwi link but didn’t realise they were Peter Gordon’s 😄 hope you enjoyed this series mate! Cheers, Sheena
i was born within a mile of this place, and you pour vinegar and pepper into the liquor for ultimate taste )
Hi stonersid, thanks for watching! A bunch of Londoners have mentioned the vinegar and pepper- we're gutted we didn't know and can't wait to get back to eat it again with tonnes of vinegar and pepper loaded on top- we love both! Hope you enjoy the rest of our London videos. Cheers, Sheena
