- Family, including Jeff, the brother in law we had not met yet
- Cheese of many origins, but especially Cheshire cheese melted in Stafford oatcakes
- Beer and cider of many varieties
- Wine of several colours
- Mince pies, Christmas pudding (twice), sherry trifle (twice), Christmas cake (twice), etc.
- The Bluebell pub in Kidsgrove (for the beer and meeting Shaz, Ernie and Ruth)
