Recipes

On this page we've brought together some authentic recipes for dishes and drinks that were on the menu during the civil war. Try some of these and you'll get a real taste of the 17th century.

Made with modern ingredients and equipment, the dishes will look and taste a little different to how they would have been in those far-off days before mechanised production and accurate oven temperatures. Nevertheless they will give you a good idea of the food and drink which people of that time were eating.

If you visit our events you might actually see some of these cooked the old-fashioned way over a camp fire, and eaten by members of the Siege Group!

The recipes are listed here and also in the menu bar on the left hand side of the page, so you can browse with ease!
