Jam tarts are really easy to make - you could use pre-rolled pastry & make loads in advance!

toad in't t'hole!! as us yokshire folk like to call it. For you it would be toad in the hole

They're very simple, to make the batter:
4oz flour
1 pint of milk
2 eggs

Mix the eggs with the flour to make a paste and get as many lumps out as possible.
Add the milk slowly mixing as you go.
Pre-heat the oven to about 150 degrees and put a small amount of fat in a shallow muffin tin (preferable beef dripping (fat)) until it is piping hot.
Then half fill each with batter mix and a pre-cook sausage
Cook for around 20/30 mins until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Or for a really big one do the same thing, but put all of your batter mix into a loaf tin/ square cake tine and add pre-cooked sausage. Done

Another yorkshire pud recipe which is just as famous is a giant yorkshire pud ... cooked in a cake tin and then you put a roast into it. So some meat (beef is traditional) lots of veg, mashed potato, roasts and beef gravy
Have fun with this, we have awesome food as my belly proves lol

How about a big pot of potato hash? Black puddings too?

I think the tea and scones would be good too.

Fish and chips, but you need a real chippy to do that. You can never get the chips the way a chippy does them

We can ... But not in my small town. Bigger cities, like nashville & Memphis, have more stuff.

Such delicious options! Can't wait to sample the treats of London. I need to find a proper chippy. And I just heard about chip butties on BnB. Sounds awesome!
