JPSemprini Posted July 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I was just curious as to how much British cuisine I might expect on a cruise leaving from Southampton, specifically in the MDR and Windjammer. My wife and I will be on Navigator in October for a cruise to northern Spain and France. This will be our fourth cruise overall, but first outside North America.

blackshirt Posted July 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Not that much from what I remember. I cruised the Adventure out of Southampton in 2014. I don’t recall any thing British on the MDR menu. The windjammer did have some very British items for breakfast, such as beans, British style bacon, etc. I think they even had some blood pudding.

voyager70 Posted July 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2018 English sausage and bacon was offered in the WJ for breakfast. Also Oxtail soup and spotted dick was on the MDR menu several nights. This was on a Baltics cruise out of Harwich in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We usually see English bacon and the hockey puck things for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pspercy Posted July 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2018 What about good Yorkshire pud ? Pork Pies ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhp Posted July 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Someone has recently posted a Navigator Baltic review and one post includes a photo of the Café Promenade counter stocked with Pork Pies, Sausage Rolls and Minced Beef and Onion Pies to name but a few, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megsie Posted July 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2018 What about good Yorkshire pud ? Pork Pies ? We get the Yorkshire puddings in Australia - last cruise on Ovation it was the size of a small plate. So if they’re in Aus, surely they would be on the British cruises. And each day we had a choice of a pie - lamb and rosemary, chicken and veg etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodgem Posted July 28, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We usually see English bacon and the hockey puck things for breakfast. Thanks. :D From now on every time I see black pudding I will think of it as a black hockey puck ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2018 What about good Yorkshire pud ? Pork Pies ? I've seen Yorkshire Pudding in Windjammer on British night. The last time on Adventure this past March. Along with bangers and mash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylizcat Posted July 28, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 28, 2018 We had a ‘pie of the day’ on the dining room menu on Anthem out of Southampton a few years ago. I didn’t realise they were trying to be ‘British’, I thought they were economising as it sounded like a cheaper dish!

Corby114 Posted July 28, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Recently cruised in June 2018 on Royal Caribbean’s Independence Of The Seas fourteen day Canary Islands sailing out of Southampton. Every morning they had English Bacon and a few different types of English Bangers. At lunch In the Windjammer they had a variety of Steak and Kidney Pie, English Pot Pie, English Beef Stew, etc. During most dinners in the Main Dining Room I didn’t notice any English Specialties. During my sailing there was over thirty five hundred British passengers.There was less than four hundred American passengers. I can personally tell you that my family didn’t starve and I tried most of the English food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted August 31, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2018 So off topic, but is there much ballroom dancing offered out of Southampton? My friends are booked and their TA said that there is.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livylotte Posted August 31, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We sailed on Navigator a few weeks ago. On the menu for British Night in the Windjammer was fish, chips and mushy peas. No curry sauce though ;-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwich Cruiser Posted August 31, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Or hash browns Very much doubt it. I would have thought Bob knows what a hash brown is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted August 31, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The MDR menu will have a different pie and a curry option every night. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandy3415 Posted August 31, 2018 #20 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I was just curious as to how much British cuisine I might expect on a cruise leaving from Southampton, specifically in the MDR and Windjammer. My wife and I will be on Navigator in October for a cruise to northern Spain and France. This will be our fourth cruise overall, but first outside North America. There is also curry at lunchtime in Windjammer. Although not specifically a British dish, very popular with the English. Other curry dishes sometimes on MDR menu. Not much lamb though, although there used to be. Fun to try the "full English breakfast" --grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes, bacon, the puddings (black and white) eggs and the beans (if you eat them) You will not be hungry all day!!!
