Neil Buttery’s British Food History Podcasts are not only very well done, deeply researched, concise, and informative, but really fun to listen to. I’m a huge fan.

Wonderful, informative and educational pod about British food history. Neil Buttery puts hours of detailed work into the pods, collating hours of data about food history, but does it with the result in a relaxed, cozy chat with his guests that you just want to be a part of. One learns so many details from the history of street food sellers to deep dive on the food meanings within Shakespeare’s plays. A must listen!

Excellent!

Neil Buttery’s pod is spectacular. If you love all things food and all things history, you will love this podcast. So interesting and well done. It is also relaxing and fun. Neil himself brings so much to the table, but also brings special guests in to go even deeper into various topics. From across the pond, keep going Neil! Love the pod!
