What is a Gastro Pub?
The term ‘gastro pub’ might be relatively new in British dining, but its impact is undeniable. Born from a desire to blend the relaxed, sociable atmosphere of your local pub with the refined culinary experience of high-end restaurants, gastro pubs have redefined ‘pub-grub’ in the UK.
Gastro pubs maintain the charm and character of traditional pubs with rustic wooden tables, a friendly bar, and a warm welcome, but the food is on a higher level than an old-school pub hot-pot and ploughman’s lunches. The focus here is on the quality of ingredients and culinary innovation, turning a casual drink and a meal into a special dining experience.
