Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food

Cooking for friends should not be time-consuming and should be a big hit with your friends. So, how do you accomplish this? Think: Sunday roast and a slow cooker, or mussels in ale. What about a hearty chorizo and chickpea stew?

We all enjoy eating outdoors in a beer garden, and Tom wants to show us how to create outdoor food properly. Chicken in a basket with a twist, a tasty fish burger, a delicious maple cake, extra special barbecued beef ribs... it is chow time.

Tom prepares decadent, showstopping dishes for special occasions, including an elegant asparagus served with his ultimate salad dressing, a slow-roast duck, deep-fried oysters, spiced monkfish, and a refreshing gin and tonic granita.

Tom reveals how to prepare classic, crowd-pleasing pub meals, such as a classic Caesar salad, quirky beer snacks, pork belly with lentils and cabbage salsa, fish and chips, and date and toffee pudding with toffee sauce. Hungry?

For many of us, we savor our hearty Sunday lunches at our favorite pub, and Tom would like to show us how to make them even more special. He starts with a classic roast beef, and ends with a lemon posset pudding, and a chocolate ale cake.

Tom shares some of his family favorites inspired by simple food he enjoyed growing up that the family will absolutely love, including a flavorful omelette, a proper baked beans on toast, roast chicken, and an apple toffee crumble pie.
