Fresh KITCHEN FROM THE

As all things retro make a comeback, it’s no surprise that nostalgic puddings are appearing on restaurant menus again. Here are some highlights from the foodpeople’s School Dinner Puddings Report 2023.

ROLY POLY The classic thick suet sponge is making a comeback, with new flavours such as gooseberry and rhubarb, as well as the traditional strawberry and raspberry that we know and love.

BREAD & BUTTER Don’t overlook the classic, but it’s worth checking out variations, particularly the deep-fried version, made famous by Café Cecilia in London.
