Traditional miner’s lunch will fill you up on a cold day.

Classic cheap English fodder


In the UK’s southernmost country of Cornwall, locals are incredibly proud of the invention of the pasty – a kind of pastry case usually filled with meat and potato. The traditional Cornish miner’s lunch is now nationally acclaimed and is a fast and tasty option, particularly in the winter months. Cheap and cheerful, a West Coast Cornish Pasty will fill a hole when you’re perusing London’s streets.
