What Style is the food at The Commoner?


Modern British (or New British) cuisine is a style of British cooking which fully emerged in the late 1970s, and has become increasingly popular. It uses high-quality local ingredients, preparing them in ways which combine traditional British recipes with modern innovations.

It is not generally a nostalgic movement, although there are some efforts to re-introduce pre-twentieth century recipes.
