How to heat your calzone

Oven (best)
180°C fan or 200°C conventional. Take it out of the fridge 10 to 15 minutes first, pop it on a baking tray or pizza stone, and heat for 12 to 15 minutes until crisp outside and piping hot through the middle.
Air fryer
160 to 170°C for about 8 to 10 minutes. Check halfway through.
Microwave
Try to avoid it. It'll heat it, but you'll lose that lovely crispy crust.

The counter

Counter felt cute, might delete later

Pork pies, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, proper sausages, bacon, steak and kidney pie. British food doesn't always need a fancy twist.

Ask your butcher

How we'd cook it

A few of the tips we've shared lately. Ask us in the shop for more.

  • Three thick Barnsley lamb chops on a tray

    The Barnsley chop

    A double-sided lamb chop, cut across the loin, giving you a lovely thick piece of meat that's packed with flavour.

    Get your pan nice and hot, rub the chop with a little oil, and season well. Sear for a few minutes on each side to get a lovely golden crust, then finish over a slightly lower heat. Garlic, rosemary and a knob of butter work a treat.

  • One of the team holding up a rack of beef short ribs, smiling

    Beef short ribs

    One for the low and slow brigade. BBQ-style with a sticky glaze, braised in red wine, or keep it proper simple with creamy mash and plenty of gravy.

    Not a cut to rush. Stick it on low, leave it to do its thing, and you've got some seriously good grub waiting for you.

  • Trays of sausages, chicken and pork in the counter

    Slow cooking: stop lifting the lid

    We know you're having a nose. We know you want to check on it. But every time you lift that lid, you're letting the heat and moisture out.

    Low and slow. That's the game. Your patience will be rewarded.
