A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a pop of colour. on the side, some classic coleslaw? a pint of your favourite english ale? bang on.

• Freezing: The sausages and mashed potatoes can be frozen. Wrap them well in freezer-safe bags or containers. They'll keep for up to 2 months . The onion marmalade can also be frozen, but the texture might change slightly.
• Reheating: Reheat the sausages in a pan or oven until piping hot. Microwave the mashed potatoes, stirring occasionally. Warm the onion marmalade gently on the stovetop. Don't even think about microwaving the bun.
