On this episode, Mary Berry heads to the dramatic Yorkshire coastline to celebrate a unique bonfire party, explore the ancient seaport of Whitby and sample some classic, coastal comfort food - fish and chips and ice cream. Mary visits a small smokehouse that has been run by the same family for five generations, where she helps to smoke herring to make their world-renowned kippers.

To end her time in Yorkshire, Mary helps a local community with their unique bonfire for Guy Fawkes Night. Inspired by all she sees, Mary makes a rustic smoked trout pate, followed by a one-pot haddock and shrimp feast.

She also makes some of her favorite warming bonfire food including smoky firecracker drumsticks, posh jacket potatoes, and her glorious granny's sticky ginger cake, as the sky comes alive during an epic seaside firework display.
