Confirmed meatheads will gravitate towards an unabashed pairing of slow-cooked ox shank and roasted black pudding with buttered mash and charred greens in a sticky jus. If you're stuck on stickiness, there's toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream to finish, or perhaps a Welsh cheese selection with chorizo jam and Earl Grey crackers.
