Is The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best coming back?

The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best ended on March 29, 2011, on BBC Two.

This series was a food-focused show that aired from 2010 to 2011. It featured Si and Dave undertaking a nationwide search for Britain’s lost recipes—those traditional dishes and secret family recipes passed down through generations. The show aimed to preserve these culinary treasures by bringing together mothers, grandmothers, and daughters who loved to cook. Central to each episode was the Mums Know Best Recipe Fair, an event that combined nostalgia for village fetes with the Hairy Bikers’ international culinary influences. Food historian Gerard Baker curated the event, inviting guests to share their favorite family recipes and cooking stories, which were then compiled into a recipe board for others to copy.

The series was a celebration of shared culinary heritage, emphasizing community and the importance of preserving traditional recipes. It highlighted the role of family and local food customs in shaping Britain’s national cuisine, with a focus on fostering a sense of connection through cooking and storytelling. The show aired over two seasons, with a total of 14 episodes, and was hosted by the Hairy Bikers, Dave Myers and Simon King.

The cast included Dave Myers and Simon King, and the show had a runtime of 60 minutes per episode.
