Tell Me More
• Ultimate comfort food! Our signature cheese sauce has a really deep, rich flavour.
• The macaroni is Italian and made with free-range eggs.
• The Cheddar comes from Barbers, a family-run business in the heart of the West Country, that has been making award-winning Cheddar using traditional methods since 1833 … longer than anyone else in the world.

• It’s a hug of dish just served on its own, but some Garlic Ciabatta on the side would be hard to say no to!
• For the reckless, you can make a carb overload by using it as the filling for the ultimate cheese toastie.
How We Make It
We make that rich white sauce first from a roux (with a little paprika) slowly adding a little. Then in goes English mustard, lots of vintage Cheddar and a pinch of white pepper. The bacon is fried off in a pan until it is nice and crispy. The cheese sauce and bacon are stirred through the pasta and topped with our own garlic croutons.
