British food has the potential to be the greatest in the world,” says Cass Titcombe, the chef behind the gastro sensation Canteen. When he opened his small, unprepossessing outlet in Spitalfields market almost two years ago, the food world snapped to attention. And this was not just because he was cooking simple British food perfectly, or ticking all those important boxes – seasonal, sustainable and so on – but because he had hit on a formula that really worked. A menu that incorporates a fish of the day, a pie, a salad and a pud that you’re likely to remember from your childhood, served swiftly and simply, with no fuss. The critics adored it.
Now Canteen has opened another branch, in the recently revamped Festival Hall, and the formula remains the same. “Honest preparation and good provenance is what drives us,” says Titcombe – along with the belief that “our traditional recipes can be updated to become modern classics”. Here are some of them.
