From afternoon tea to a cosy night in, the British have mastered the art of pairing drinks with snacks. Whether you’re reaching for a packet of crisps, a bar of chocolate, or a handful of biscuits, the right drink makes every bite even more satisfying.
Let’s take a little trip through Britain’s most beloved beverages and the perfect snacks to enjoy them with.
A Proper Cuppa: Tea & Biscuits
It wouldn’t be Britain without tea. From strong Yorkshire Tea to the delicate notes of Earl Grey, a proper cuppa is always best served with a classic biscuit. Think McVitie’s Digestives, Hobnobs, or even a Custard Cream for dunking. The comforting balance of tea and biscuits is more than a snack; it’s a daily ritual that feels like home.
Fizzy Favourites: Soft Drinks & Crisps
For those who prefer something bubbly, British soft drink cans bring a nostalgic twist that pairs brilliantly with classic British crisps like Walkers Crisps. Or grab a can of Tango and enjoy with a packet of Monster Munch. These pairings bring back childhood memories of corner shops and after-school treats.
Chocolate Lovers’ Match: Hot Chocolate & Sweet Treats
When the weather cools down, nothing beats a rich cup of Galaxy Hot Chocolate. Pair it with a Flake bar or a handful of Wine Gums for a sweet escape. The creamy warmth of hot chocolate enhances the richness of British chocolate in a way that feels indulgent and comforting.
A Spark of Refreshment: Squash & Pick ’n’ Mix
Fruit squash, like Robinsons Apple & Blackcurrant, is a staple around the UK. Light, refreshing, and full of fruity flavour, it’s the ideal partner for colourful Pick ’n’ Mix sweets. From Dusted Jelly Babies to Cola Bottles, the combination makes snack time fun and flavourful for kids and adults alike.
