The Copper Pot
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.
Lady Jane's Kitchen
Jane’s Historical Kitchen, presented by The Copper Pot, offers a hands-on demonstration of historical food in action. Through cookery demonstrations, informative talks, and authentic tasters, we bring the sensory experience of historical cooking to life.
We give audiences the opportunity to experience the past through food and drink, providing historically accurate cooking displays and living history presentations for schools, heritage sites, public events, and re-enactments across the UK. Our aim is to help people explore history in a way that feels real, engaging, and memorable.
With over 20 years of combined experience in historical education, performance, and living history events, Jane’s Historical Kitchen creates displays that are both informative and entertaining for visitors of all ages.
Our demonstrations cover a wide range of historical periods, from Anglo-Saxon cooking to the foods of the Second World War. Using traditional ingredients and preparation methods wherever possible, we show how people cooked and ate in the past—allowing visitors to see, smell, and sometimes even taste a little piece of history.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss how Lady Jane's Kitchen can help your event.
