Desi pubs : a guide to British-Indian pubs, food & culture
Jesudason, David2023
Book
The 'Desi Pub' began as a story of resistance. First established in the 1960s to break the racist colour bar, which saw many non-white customers refused service, they have since evolved into a modern-day celebration of multiculturalism. This is how 'desis' - people with Indian heritage - saved failing pubs and turned them into a joyful festival of mixed grills, naans and curries all washed down with plenty of beer. In this new book, the first of its kind, award-winning British-Asian journalist and beer writer David Jesudason travels the length and breadth of the country, visiting over 200 'desi pubs' run by British-Indian landlords who have stamped their unique identity on a beloved institution and helped to challenge our preconceptions of the pub customer: from rowdy cricket fans to vibrant bhangra nights via football supporters enjoying pre-match mixed grills and beers.
