The Copper Pot is all about food from history, bringing recipes to life so that you can enjoy a real taste of the past, at home. Authentic historical recipes are recreated, ranging from prehistory to the Victorian era.

 We currently produce a variety of products, such as an Elizabethan stew mix, spice mixes for wines from the kitchens of King Richard II, a very early medieval Icelandic mustard, a 17th century Spanish hot chocolate, and another for an 18th century English hot chocolate, the earliest English curry recipe, refreshing cordials, a new range of herbal teas, and many other delicious treats. We also have an expanding collection of chocolates inspired by or based on spices from the past.

 At The Copper Pot, we stick as close as possible to the original recipes, using such exotic spices as Grains of Paradise, Galangal and Cubebs to ensure that when you try our recipes, they evoke the pleasure and majesty of the King’s table at a medieval feast, or the exotic delights of an 18th century household.

 Like the itinerant merchants of the past, The Copper Pot can be found at historical events across the country, but we also have an active online shop for those who fear to tread the medieval roads.
