Dessert, England

Bread and butter pudding

Recommended by Kathryn Burrington and 9 other food critics.
"While it couldn’t be easier to make, hats off to The English Restaurant for baking it to perfection, time and time again, from their homemade brioche and serving it with hot vanilla and rum custard. A 5 star pudding if ever there was one."
Kathryn Burrington , Food and travel writer

Recommendations

"Bread and butter pudding is comfort in the kind of stodgy, hearty form you really appreciate on a cold winter’s day. Nowhere is this better served than at The English Restaurant."
"Kay still makes hers the old fashioned way using bread but there’s a twist… banana is added and together with the delicious rum custard, it is certainly a winner!"
"Served warm with a rum custard, you can almost taste the calories, this would be the perfect treat on a cold and rainy London day."
"The pudding itself was delicious, but when I added the creamy sauce that came with it, it became irresistible."
"A new twist on this dessert, made with home-baked brioche infused with orange juice and served soaked in a wonderfully refreshing, but still just as comforting, cardamom-and-brandy custard."
"And the bread and butter pudding at The English Restaurant, made with homemade brioche and served with hot vanilla and rum custard, definitely didn’t disappoint."
"While it couldn’t be easier to make, hats off to The English Restaurant for baking it to perfection, time and time again, from their homemade brioche and serving it with hot vanilla and rum custard. A 5 star pudding if ever there was one."
"Quite possibly the tastiest bread and butter pudding I’ve ever laid lips upon."
"If you are ever in the Spitalfields area and are hankering for something hot, indulgent and comforting I can’t recommend The English Restaurant’s bread and butter pudding enough. I award it 5 out of 5 stars."
"I really like banana bread and I’m down with bread pudding, but to combine the two and put rum on it? Sheer brilliance."

"Absolutely superb. How this is not rated as one of the best desserts in the world says more about the reviewers than this magnificent dish."
