Top recipe pick of the month

The most popular recipe this month was "My cod, I bet me Mam has seen some trotters" - David Coulson's fish course recipe for Great British Menu 2018. Inspired by his mother who has worked as a chiropodist in the NHS for 22 years, David served a side of North Sea cod with dehydrated pig's trotters and brown crab.

The 18-year-old chef was cleaning an extractor fan when his foot slipped into a fryer full of hot fat. He sustained serious injuries as a result of the accident and the pub pleaded guilty in court.
