Pub Feed

A "pub feed" (also sometimes called "pub grub") refers to the typically hearty and unpretentious food served in a public house, or pub. This type of cuisine is often characterized by its focus on satisfying portions and relatively simple preparation, aiming to provide sustenance and complement the drinking experience.

Common pub feed items include dishes like:

• Steak and Ale Pie: A savory pie filled with chunks of beef braised in ale.
• Fish and Chips: Deep-fried battered fish, usually cod or haddock, served with thick-cut fried potatoes.
• Burgers: Ground meat patties, often beef, served in a bun with various toppings.
• Sunday Roast: A traditional British meal, usually consisting of roasted meat (beef, lamb, pork, or chicken), roast potatoes, vegetables, and gravy. Often only served on Sundays.
• Sausage and Mash (Bangers and Mash): Sausages served with mashed potatoes and onion gravy.
• Shepherd's Pie: Ground meat (traditionally lamb) topped with mashed potatoes and baked.
• Ploughman's Lunch: A cold meal typically consisting of bread, cheese, pickles, and a side salad.
• Scotch Egg: A hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried or baked.

Pub feed often features regional variations and modern interpretations, but the core concept remains the same: providing substantial and comforting food in a relaxed and social atmosphere. The emphasis is usually on flavor and value for money rather than elaborate presentation or complex techniques. While some pubs now offer more sophisticated and gourmet-style meals, the term "pub feed" generally implies a focus on traditional, hearty fare.
