I don't really think there is a typical British dish anymore, there are so many influences from different cultures now. Recently Chicken Tikka Masala has become the most popular meal here. If you want old regional or national meals you can't go wrong with things like,
Roast Dinners
Shepherds Pie
Cottage Pie
Pie and Mash
Bubble and Squeak
Fish and Chips
Faggots and Mash
Stew
Hope that helpsx

Spotted Dick, pie and mash, jellied eels, scouse, roast beef and all the trimmings, boiled beef and carrots, bangers and mash, bread and butter pudding, bread pudding, fish and chips, eels with pie and liquor, the list is endless but finding some of the things not so easy. In london for traditional food the eastend is best, that is if you don't want the mucked about updated all health food version which has been totally neutered. In Manchester, sorry but I don't know. Bon appetit.

Typical English food is normally Fish and Chips.Go for Sunday roast,you can't go wrong with that.Or maybe Pie and Mash,that's a typical old fashioned London meal,with liquor of course (parsley sauce).
As there is so much variety today,it's hard to define a typical food.

"Full English" is recognised worldwide as a hearty breakfast... but I don't know a single English person that actually eats it - unless we're on holiday or treating ourselves!
There are SO many English dishes that I can't cope with what to offer - and what to leave out...maybe you should check out recipezaar.
You can type in what you are looking for and recipezaar offers recipes that have been tried and tested by its members.
Good Appetite (in English!)
....but I do like a "full roast" (which you probably won't find in a recipezaar search because it's not a specific recipe, it's a combination of meat and veg and - hmmm - gravy.)

Beef wellington. Beef steak en croute with a mustard sauce... never seen anything like it out of England, or maybe it's the only palatable English dish I ever found.
