My rating: 4 Stars
 
My opinion: This was one really cool cookbook. This was pub food at its finest. Some recipes did strike me as a bit more difficult to make so maybe take a look at a sample first. Furthermore, some struck me as foods that would NEVER cross my lips (such as pork belly).

The pictures in this book were A-MAZING! So beautiful and captured brew houses and the food beautifully.  Due to the complication of some of the recipes, I would have liked to have seen photographs related to food prep.
