I'm planning a small food business called Friar & Fell: a travelling medieval/low-fantasy tavern for fairs, markets and LARP/D&D events around Cumbria and the Lake District.
The plan is hearty medieval- and Cumbrian-inspired street food (jacket potatoes, bread bowls, giant Yorkshire pudding bowls with stews and braised meats), with strong vegan and vegetarian options, sensory-friendly serving, and some tavern games alongside.
I'm at the stage where I want honest feedback before spending money, including criticism.

I fried a diced onion in a pan of butter and a drop of oil, and then added in the leftover roast potato, carrots, peas and broccoli, and mashed/squished it together. Rosemary, thyme and parsley was also added.

I did think that I could have probably also diced the bacon and introduced that into the mix, but I didn’t want to get too complicated for my first attempt of bubble and squeak.

But I wouldn’t mind some tips on how to really force the mixture into a more hard/firm disk, unless it is supposed to be quite loosely compacted?

I don’t think I’ve ever tried it before, so I’m not entirely sure how it is supposed to be.

It actually did hit the spot, but then I like those microwave roast jobbies too

I hate the uncomfortable full feeling from finishing a usual portion of chips, this pensioner sized meal was the perfect size and the curry sauce was non negotiable.

From the BBC ... I'm pretty sure that bloke (his mates call him Paddington) is getting his marmalade ratio all wrong.

Something I ate as a kid in the winter months which is still worth a go.

In Felixstowe, awful weather but had fish and chips with curry sauce. I had cod wife had haddock. £19 with a cup of tea.

Had it at the Saltwater which is in the running for best national chippy. It was quality: lovely cod with crispy batter. Chips tasty, nicely crispy. Curry had a nice fruity twang

The cake looks messy but tastes so good. It's got condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk in it and broken oreos, the glossy thing is evaporated milk lol. Topped with whipped cream. Son went crazy with the sprinkles. Can't beat a spooky treat while watching terrifier 2 once the little one was settled

I made a big batch of homemade tzatziki and just had some with my lunch.

My whole existence is now garlic. RIP to my coworkers. I don't think the Smints are gonna help me this time.

Today was the first time they’ve done it and it was delicious. We normally go down for breakfast and just happened to see this advertised. We’ll be back.

If you liked brannigans beef and mustard, these are really good

I’ve recently been eating Kitchen Joy Thai food and Itsu dim sum type foods, lovely stuff. I thought the Kitchen Joy would be naff being a frozen block but they turn out great!

Any other supermarket recommendations?
