Ploughman’s Lunch

A board piled with crumbly farmhouse cheese, crusty bread, pickled onions, and a dollop of fruity chutney — the pub lunch that needs no cooking and makes no apologies. It’s simple, honest eating built around one great wedge of cheese.

The ploughman’s lunch is a stalwart of British pubs, traditionally paired with a pint of ale and a pot of pickle. Serve it on a wooden board with butter, apple slices, and a sharp, tangy salad.
