The Pig and Whistle Tavern, Arthur’s Seat
The Pig and Whistle Tavern in Arthur’s Seat is as close as you get to a British pub type set up. I would highly recommend their Sunday roasts- yum!

Northern Git, Thornbury, Melbourne
Yorkshire puddings! Incredible roast. Black pudding was on their specials menu. Great food and finally I got the food I was missing without cooking it myself!
Rob
White Rose Food Truck
Incredible English street food. These are the Yorkshire wraps and roasted potatoes. They attend the St Kilda Market on the shore.
Fish and Chips
”David Prossers Seafood in Rye is the ultimate fish and chips. The chips are just the right amount of crunchy and the fish is freshly caught.
Tullie
”The Fish and Chip shop in Capel Sound does amazing fish and chips. The actual shop is nothing to write home about but the food is delicious and being right near the beach you can be sat on the sand with your fish and chips in a few minutes!

Curries
”Now we all know that curries are hard to come by in Oz but Nepa Bliss in Rye is the best I have found and I have tried a lot! The butter chicken and garlic naans are a particular favourite.
