Overview

Dining The guide was updated: 2022-12-12

The cuisine in the North of England has long been a source of amusement for outsiders - perhaps, partially due to the quirky dish names like "Rumbledethumps", "Tatty Ash" or "Singin’ Hinnies". And yet one of the finest English dishes is undoubtedly the Lancashire hotpot, a slow-cooked lamb stew that literally melts in your mouth. Another quintessentially English dish with strong associations with Blackpool is the classic fish and chips - pick it up at one of the corner shops or savour an elevated version at one of Blackpool's fancier dining establishments.
