Tea

Tea is the only non-alcoholic drink on this list, and it deserves to be mentioned because of how popular it is in the United Kingdom. Tea is made from pouring hot water over cured leaves, a shrub native to East Asia. Since the 16th century, the UK has had a reputation as one of the world’s consumers of tea, and they have their own customs of drinking it. In the UK, tea is usually taken in the morning and then other times of the day. It also features special events as well as family occasions. Workers take a tea break and sometimes, tea is consumed as a meal, for medicinal purposes, or for relaxation.

Brandy

People in the UK also like to drink brandy. It’s a spirit produced from distilling wine, containing about 35-55% of alcohol. Unaged brandy is usually placed in a barrel so it can mature and bring out the natural brown or golden color. In the UK, many people prefer to enjoy brandy as a classic serve by taking it with mixers or a dash of water. It’s also common to see people taking it along with food, either the way it is or in a cocktail. It is especially served during winter, and locals love to drink it.

Beer

If they are not drinking cider, they most likely have a bottle of beer in their hand. Beer is one of the oldest and most popular drinks, not only in the UK but in the whole world. It is brewed from different types of grains including wheat, corn, rice, barley, etc. Just like in many parts of the world, there are traditional beer styles originating from the UK. You can find brown ale, pale ale, porter, Burton ale, etc. One of the most famous in the UK is Thatcher’s and Carling, which have good taste and worth drinking it while in the UK.

Sunday Roast

In England, it's traditional to sit down with your family for a hearty Sunday lunch. This is known as a Sunday roast because nearly everything on the plate has been roasted in the oven. A classic Sunday roast includes meat (often beef), vegetables, roasted potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding, and a dollop of gravy. A Sunday lunch menu is common in every pub, as many other restaurants, and there are often several offerings, from beef to chicken to a vegetarian nut roast. Try Roth Ball & Grill in Somerset or Hawksmoor in Manchester and London, or ask a few locals for their favorite nearby spot.

Bread and butter pudding

Fewer desserts are more quintessentially British than the humble bread and butter pudding. This hearty delight consists of slices of buttered bread that are scattered with raisins and covered with egg custard before being baked in the oven until turning golden brown. Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices are also added to the mixture for extra flavor. Like most hearty British desserts, people typically serve it with custard or cream. There are also several recipe variations, some of which involve adding jam, marmalade, or lemon zest into the mix. Whatever ingredients you choose, though, it is always better to use stale or day-old bread. Cutting the slices into triangle shapes will also allow the pointy bits to turn crunchy in the oven, creating a beautiful contrast with the soft, creamy texture beneath.

Cream tea

We’ve saved the sweetest till last! The quintessential British afternoon tea wouldn’t be complete without tea and scones. This teatime treat consists of a pot of tea – preferably Earl Grey – with either lemon or a dash of milk; plus scones. These are dense, bread-like cakes made from flour, butter, and milk. They traditionally come with strawberry or raspberry jam and clotted cream; a rich yellow cream with a crusty top. You simply cut the scone in half, spread it with jam and clotted cream, and enjoy. This iconic British food is associated with the southwest of England; especially Devon and Cornwall, where you will find it in numerous cafés and tearooms.

Ploughman’s lunch

This simple British food consists of chunky bread, cheese, and pickles. It dates back to the humble days when rural laborers lived on a simple diet of bread, cheese, leeks, and onions. Farmworkers in Devon would often enjoy this with cider as their midday meal, too. Nowadays, the ploughman’s lunch is enjoyed with additional items; these might include ham, hard-boiled eggs, green salad, fruit, and perhaps a British beer. The name ‘ploughman’s lunch’ actually comes from a 1950s marketing campaign to promote the dish in pubs and increase cheese sales after rationing ceased. This popular lunchtime snack is still strongly associated with pubs in the UK today. It usually includes two of Britain’s most famous types of cheese. These are Cheddar and Stilton, but other varieties include the Welsh Caerphilly, Wensleydale, Red Leicester, Double Gloucester, and Cornish Yarg.

Roast (with all the trimmings)

Once upon a time, families in the UK would sit down together on a Sunday and enjoy a big roast lunch. Although this tradition has waned somewhat over the recent years, the roast remains a popular meal in the UK. The delicious feast consists of roasted meat (beef, chicken, lamb or pork) and a selection of vegetables. These might include roast potatoes, carrots, peas, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. A roast may also include stuffing and Yorkshire puddings; a batter of eggs, flour, and milk which rises in the oven. Roast beef is traditionally accompanied by a peppery horseradish sauce and English mustard. Roast pork, on the other hand, comes with apple sauce. And roast lamb always comes with mint sauce or redcurrant jelly. Whatever trimmings you add, though, the gravy is arguably the most important part. This usually contains the meat juices and a splash of red wine.

Full English breakfast

Get ready to loosen your belt buckles because nobody does breakfast quite like the Brits! The Full English (or fry up) consists of fried or grilled bacon, a sausage or two, a fried egg, baked beans (in tomato sauce), grilled or fried tomatoes, and a slice of fried bread (or toast). Some people might also throw a slice of fried black pudding (sausage made from pig’s blood) and fried mushrooms into the mix. That’s a lot to stomach, but in reality, people don’t eat this every day; but rather eaten as a treat every now and then. The full English is among the most internationally recognized British foods and it remains a popular menu item in pubs and cafés in the UK. Its origins date back to the Anglo-Saxon days in the 13th century; when households would provide hearty breakfasts for visiting friends and family.
