David Jesudason (Part One)

Many believe that the UK is the ultimate pub destination due to the sheer variety of pubs that you can visit. Old pubs, flat-roofed pubs, pubs that date back centuries. However, the hidden gem of UK pubs is arguably the desi pub: a place that grew out of attempts to break the racist colour bar of the 1960s which often meant non-white customers were refused service. These pubs, predominantly ran by British-Indian landlords, may not be the most well known, but they are some of the best in the coun...

The Pub Notice Board - 'Veggiewurst'

What do you want if you're about to go on holiday? That's right: recommendations for places that nobody can remember the name of, or restaurants that you can't eat at due to being a vegetarian. This week for our dedicated regular Dan he was on receiving end of one such recommendation ahead of his trip to Hamburg weekend, so you can be sure that he's going to find some absolute gems when out on the continent. Plus, we hear about Robbie's recent dining experience eating the UK's most expensive san...

Tim Lovejoy (Part One)

It's no surprise that televisions are a divisive topic in pubs. On the one hand they can provide entertainment during sporting events, or fill an awkward lull in conversation on a bad first date. On the other hand, they can be an unwanted distraction; when instead of having a lovely group discussion, everyone ends up watching 'The Chase' on mute. However, it can't be denied that TV has produced some real legends over the years, and today we're happy to be joined by one of them, because creating ...
