By adding these dishes to your menu or even just one of these dishes you can potentially double your profit, giving your customers what they want and a whole new reason to eat with you and not at home. The trick is to not only provide your customers favourite meals but to also ensure they are full of quality ingredients from suppliers such as The Lemon Tree who are the North West's number 1 wholesale produce supplier.
Top 10 Favourite Dishes of the British Public
1) Roast dinner - You was probably expecting this one to be at the top of our list! In 2012, 71% of the British public voted this as their family favourite meal on a survey carried out by Sainsbury's so if this classic is not on your menu you should consider adding it and letting your customers put their feet up on a Sunday, providing them with the best tasting vegetables and meat in town!
2) Spaghetti Bolognese - I love this dish, no matter where in the world I am I would order this and so would the rest of the British public so be sure to get this one on there, using the most delicious tomatoes you can source as well as rich onions, mushrooms, herbs and British lean mince, yum!
3) Fish, Chips and Peas - How could this not be on our list? Along with our Sunday dinner this is probably the most famous and traditional British dish of all. Crispy battered fish sourced from the best fishery's in town, chunky homemade chips and mouthwatering garden peas sourced from the best veg suppliers, what more could you ask for from just a simple yet brilliant meal.
4) Curry and Rice - Not a British dish but still one of the our favourites, whether it's Korma, Vindalo or a Madras we cannot get enough of the fabulous spices, herbs and flavours these incredible tasty meals provide!
5) Sausage and Mash - This is probably another one you was expecting would pop on the list, using the best British pork sausages you can find and the best British potatoes to create that supper fluffy, creamy mash potato with a splash or beans or peas.
6) Shepherds Pie - Of course! Shepard's pie is such a great one to have on your menu, cheesy crispy mash potato, delicious British mince meat, the best quality garden peas and carrots and if your customers are feeling that extra bit peckish add some crispy bread and beetroot too.

I don't know about you but that has just made me very hungry!
8) Fajitas - Such a quick, simple and great tasting dish to have where you can use your local butchers chicken breasts and then your produce suppliers fabulous mixed peppers and sweet red onions.
