English subtitles are optional English or English HoH in a thicker "electronic" white font.

The only on-disc extra is the Picturehouse trailer for the film, but on the inside of the jacket is a QR code which you can scan to get recipes from the film. This QR code may go to "tasteofthings.com/cookbook", but that link did not work for me (possibly because I am not in the UK) so I found a PDF of the recipes here (click here to download) at "https://thepicturehouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/TTOT_CookBook_.pdf".

A little disappointed at the lack of extras, but this film is such a warm comfort watch it's one I can see myself returning to time and again. I picked up the blu-ray even if only to know it's there whenever I want to watch it again.

Barebones is par for the course for Picturehouse with the exception of some titles like Scrapper, Broker, The Eight Mountains, Nitram, Woman at War, Capernaum, Custody, The Wife, The Party, God’s Own Country, A Ghost Story, Green Room, Blue Ruin, A Field in England, Made of Stone, 20,000 Days on Earth, The Imposter (so mostly older titles) and DVDs like Electrick Children, Dark Horse, Palio and London Road.

The French release of this film also has bugger all in terms of extras.
