What’s it about? There are few things more comforting than a proper pub meal, and Pub Grub brings that same cosy, satisfying food into your own kitchen. Inspired by George Darbyshire’s hugely popular online series of the same name, this book brings together 100 recipes celebrating British pub classics alongside fresh takes on familiar flavours.

The recipes in this book are designed to be genuinely useful, with easy-to-find supermarket ingredients and straightforward methods that make pub favourites achievable at home. You’ll also find money- and time-saving options throughout, so you can choose an approach that works with your budget and schedule. Full of hearty, nostalgic dishes, Pub Grub has plenty of inspiration for Sunday lunches, cold-weather dinners and those evenings when only proper comfort food will do.
