Fruit pudding/clootie dumpling (If you want to give them heart attacks)
Summer fruit pudding
gooseberry fool
Oxtail soup
I have a book called "good things in England" which has many old and odd recipes it's a early 1900's collection of earlier recipes some of which are well out of fashion such as Frumentry and others like the recipes for cardoons and nettles we consider new and modern!
It's for a 3 course meal @Skandi so scones are out except on a fruit or beef cobbler. It's to be on May 11th so too early for summer pudding which I don't like anyway - don't get on with the stale white bread element tho maybe it could be improved by using local brioche.
It'll be far too warm for Oxtail soup and the dried fruit needed for Clootie dumpling is very expensive here. They really don't use it much.

Wow. Don't know if it's on the list but a Wellington would impress. Just spotted it. That's my vote. If beef fillet is too expensive, you could use poultry.
