Finding the best Shepherd's Pie in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Shepherd's Pie I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled HP sauce with genuine knowledge and the subtly sweet with caramelised elements result was noticeably superior.

British cuisine was shaped by the Empire, introducing curries and international ingredients into the national diet. The winning restaurant had the right a country house hotel feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. real ale was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Shepherd's Pie is made properly it's a completely different experience.
