Admittedly, we’ve never watched Game of Thrones and been overwhelmed with hunger for whatever the characters are eating on the show.

Horror? Sure. Hunger? No.

The wine looks good though.

But for anyone who is desperate to eat food themed around an HBO show filled with sex and death, there’s now a bakery that’ll give you all the GOT-inspired carby wonders you could dream of.


Oh, and it’s run by Ben Hawkey, the guy who played Hot Pie in the show.

Deliveroo and Ben Hawkey have teamed up to create a bakery called You Know Nothing John Dough (great wordplay, guys), serving up loaves of bread inspired by the Direwolf bread Hot Pie made for Arya on the show.

The loaves will likely be tastier than the ones Arya eats, as the world of Game of Thrones doesn’t appear to include access to the best baking techniques and fancy ingredients, and will be made up of a wholewheat cornbread with orange zest.



Apparently they’re best served slightly warm with soft butter. Yum.

Now, as this is a Deliveroo bakery, you will, of course, only be able to order through Deliveroo, rather than popping down to a physical bakery.

You’ll be able to order loaves for £1 each through Deliveroo from 6pm on 17 July 2017. Just search ‘You Know Nothing John Dough’ in the app and it should come up.

It’s a limited time thing, so it’s wise to get your hands on some loaves sharpish if you’re desperate to taste cornbread in the shape of a wolf.

‘Hot Pie’s Direwolf loaves are a favourite for Game of Thrones fans and people are always asking me for the secret of my recipe,’ said Ben Hawkey.

‘I can’t share that, but Deliveroo customers will have the chance to try them themselves.’

If you can’t quite be bothered to order food online or commit to getting bread made by a GoT character, you can always make sure your meal is themed around the show by drinking plenty of red wine. And maybe killing off one of your mates midway through.
